A former councilor, Hon. Paul Mbatsaver Azahaan, has been killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen in Benue State.
Hon. Paul was a councilor representing Nzorov Council Ward, Guma Local Government area of Benue State.
Mbatsaver was reportedly murdered late on Saturday night, December 13, 2025, at his residence in his village at Tse Azahaan, Mbagen, Nzorov Council Ward of the area. Sources said the assailants stormed his house in the late hours of the night and attacked him, leaving him dead.
