The Benue State chapter of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has condemned the alleged attack on four Fulani men in Okpokwu Local Government Area, calling on security agencies to arrest those responsible and ensure justice.
In a statement signed by its chairman, Ardo Risku Muhammad, MACBAN said the victims were attacked on June 10, 2026, while travelling from Benue State to Onitsha to visit relatives.
The association alleged that the incident occurred in the Aokpe/Ugbokolo community, where the travellers were ambushed by some residents.
