Armed assailants have murdered and beheaded a constituent of Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro in Benue South, with the attackers fleeing with the severed head of their victim in what the lawmaker described on Wednesday as part of a sustained siege on communities across the senatorial district.
Moro, who represents Benue South Senatorial District, raised the alarm in a personal explanation on the floor of the Senate, identifying the victim as Mr. Ujema Emi, a public health worker, who was ambushed and killed at the Ubube Road Junction in Ikobi area.
“One of my constituents, Ujema Emi, a public health worker, was murdered in cold blood. Ujema Emi was reportedly ambushed, killed and beheaded. The severed head was taken away by the assailants,” Moro told his colleagues.
