Three Young Men Hacked to Death in Ogbadibo Local Government area of Benue State

Odoba Otukpa in Ogbadibo local government area of Benue State is currently in grief and sad mood following the brutal murder of three young men in the community.

According to Hon. Julius Ali, Bambam, the quarrel arose at a birthday party held last night by one of the young ones in Odoba.

Eye witness report indicates that a certain young man from Obu-Otukpa who came for the party was hacked to death during a quarrel. A reprisal attack from his ‘kinsmen’ resulted in two other deaths from the Odoba community. One of the Odoba sons killed is reportedly billed to bury his father (Late PA Dick Okpeh) on Thursday this week.

As at the time of filing this report, it has not been established if it’s a cult related activity. However, Police has commenced investigation into the matter.

As a follow-up, the Och’Otukpa, H.R.H Chief Sunday Ekele and the Anawogene of Ai-Oono H.R.H Chief Raphael Agada immediately visited Odoba Community this morning to calm the frightening situation. The Royal fathers selected some elders and stakeholders from the Odoba and Obu communities to discuss the way out of this dangerous situation.

May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
