The African Action Congress (AAC) candidate for the Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency in the 2027 general elections, Comrade Ina Okopi Agu, has condemned the deadly attack on Otukpo-Nobi community in Benue State, accusing security agencies of failing to act on intelligence that could have prevented the killings.
In a statement issued on Monday, Agu expressed grief over the attack, which he said claimed the lives of at least nine residents, including a one-year-old child, while more than 20 others sustained injuries.
The AAC flagbearer described the assault, which he attributed to suspected armed Fulani herders, as a "premeditated" attack on a peaceful community.
"I receive with profound grief the horrific news of the premeditated assault unleashed on the peace-loving people of Otukpo-Nobi in the early hours of this morning by Fulani herder terrorists," he said.
