Bandit Attack for Benue: Two Security Men Don Koko

Abeg, make I gist una wetin happen for Benue state wey don soft my heart like wetin you dey drink for corner bar! Na serious gbege wey happen for Udeku community as bandits wey dey suspected as armed herders come carry their wahala come meet two security personnel. Dem don kill one soldier and one NSCDC officer, and e no get better rhyme for this story.

Dis attack carry happen on top Saturday evening, when dis security personnel dey return from Aga Market, after dem don fill their cooking gas. According to wetin community leader Mr. Lawrence Akerigba talk, as dem dey waka back, dem jam roadblock wey dem Fulani militants set, and dem just open fire as if dem dey play shooting game. Quick quick, dem don turn dem into late soldiers.

Na so the youth for dat area mobilize sharp-sharp, dey search forest like sharp hunters, come find the charred bodies of the fallen officers, wey dem later carry go mortuary for Jato Aka. The area don dey turn to crime scene, as dis incident no be the first. Just last week, five farmers don kpafuka die like jollof rice straight from hot pot, and e dey show say bandit wahala dey escalate well well.

It no sweet the eye to hear say the NSCDC officer wey die na CCA Tijani Idris, from Kaduna state. E don join the long list of heroes wey sacrifice dem life to protect we naija people. Naso dem dey talk say, every time US airstrike don hit ISWAP camps, na so killings don dey surge like water for rainy season for Benue.

As dem confirm the news, DSP Udeme Edet, the Police Public Relations Officer, come talk say, “We no get police officer wey die, but one officer from our sister agency no survive.” Dis one na serious matter my people, as community leaders dey shout say bandit don dey take over everywhere. Even HRH Daniel Abomtse and Mr. James Ejeh don raise alarm say dem bandits dey multiply like magic and invade dem communities.

Dis na better reason why we need to take security matters serious. If we no act, how we go fit protect our farmers, our soldiers, and everybody wey dey hustle for bread? Naija no wan see such kind of story again for our headlines. We must come together to fight dis banditry issue as one! Na so we go fit carry our head high and continue to dey hustle!
