A burial ceremony in the Sati Ikov Council Ward of Benue State turned into a scene of carnage on Saturday night when armed militias ambushed a group of mourners.
The attack resulted in the deaths of three young men: Bem Msughter, Aondo Chia, and Sunday Terwase.
Two other residents, a male POS operator and a female medicine trader, were abducted during the raid.
Hon. Simon Gabo, representing the Ushongo State Constituency, confirmed the incident, stating that his community has become a "battlefield" for militias crossing the river from neighboring areas.
While the Divisional Police Officer has deployed personnel to the mountainous forest area, the State Police Command is yet to issue a formal statement.
The attack has heightened fears among residents as insecurity continues to plague the region.
