Monday, December 22, 2025 - Suspected herdsmen have k!lled two brothers, Godwin Tyonum and Ortwer Tyonum, in an attack on a farm at Tse-Lafia, near the railway line, about five kilometres from Daudu in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.
Godwin Tyonum, a graduate of Agribusiness from Joseph
Sarwuan Tarka University, Makurdi, completed his studies last year and was
awaiting mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in 2026.
His elder brother, Ortwer Tyonum, was a 100-level student of
Entrepreneurial Education at the same institution.
Eyewitnesses said the brothers were attacked with machetes
while working on the farm on Sunday, December 21, 2025, by the marauding
herdsmen.
It was gathered that Godwin did not d!e on the spot and was
rushed to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi, where he later
passed away.
The incident has heightened tension in the area, as
residents called on security agencies to investigate the attack and bring the
perpetrators to justice.
