Bandits Don Carry Six Travelers Go For Benue Road

Wahala don burst for Benue State again as bandits don kidnap six travelers wey dey waka along Naka–Makurdi road early Tuesday morning.

Di whole gist wey I gather, dem say di incident happen for Kula village, Wey no far from Makurdi, di capital of Benue. From wetin one relative of di victims talk, dem dey travel seven for di vehicle, and di journey start from Ilorin on Monday before dem decide to sleep for Ankpa, Kogi State because of security matter.

But as dem start di journey again early Tuesday, dem meet di armed men for Kula village wey come intercept dem. Na so one passenger manage escape, but di remaining six people — three men and three women — na dem wey di kidnappers carry go, as [say dem no wan make their money easy.

Di kidnappers don also demand ransom of N100 million for di release of di victims. As di Chairman of Gwer West Local Government Area, Omnin Torsar, confirm di news, e talk say di whole thing happen around 5 a.m. on top di Naka-Makurdi road. E keep am real as e talk say dem dey travel in convoy when dem run into di bandits.

When police come follow up him, di officer wey dey handle di matter, DSP Udeme Edet, talk say she never hear anything official about di abduction. Na so kidnapping matter just dey increase for di state this days, wey last week nine worshippers dem carry from St John’s Catholic Church for Ado LGA, and even fourteen travelers wey dem grab for Okpokwu LGA. 

Di Makurdi-Naka road don dey carry bad name before because of frequent abductions, but small time ago e don dey cool down because dem don deploy security operatives. But with dis latest wahala, many pipo dey fear again if dis road safe to travel.
