Saturday, August 2, 2025 - Suspected herdsmen have allegedly attacked Tse-Nyibiam, a
village near Ngban in Nyiev Council Ward of Guma Local Government Area, Benue
State.
The assault resulted in the tragic deaths of a mother and
her son.
The victims, identified as Mlumun Iorhen Igbawua and her
son, Terkimbir Iorhen Igbawua, were reportedly killed while tending to their
rice farm, the same farm where their husband and father, Benjamin Iorhen
Igbawua, was murdered earlier this year in May.
According to sources, the killings occurred as the mother
and son were weeding the rice field, which had remained uncultivated since the
initial attack that took Benjamin’s life.
His body is still at the morgue, awaiting burial.
A family member revealed that Terkimbir’s wife, initially
declared missing after the attack, narrowly escaped death despite being
tortured by the assailants.
She has since been located and reunited with her family.
Authorities are yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
