Thursday, November 27, 2025 - A devastating tragedy struck Benue State after eight members of the Kyégh family lost their lives when the vehicle transporting them veered off the road and plunged into River Dura in Kwande Local Government Area.
The victims were reportedly travelling for burial
preparations when the accident occurred, leaving their community in deep
sorrow.
The heartbreaking incident has drawn sympathy, particularly
from the Executive Chairman of Vandeikya Local Government, Hon. Dennis Terkura

the entire Vandeikya Local Government into deep mourning.”
Moved by the magnitude of the loss, Hon. Guda stepped in to
support the bereaved family.

God to strengthen them during this painful moment and grant eternal rest to the
departed.
He further assured the grieving relatives that the Vandeikya
Local Government would not abandon them in their time of anguish.

alone. We are one people, and their pain is our pain,” he stated.
