The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Benue State, Chief Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has condemned the killing of four persons by suspected armed herdsmen in Abaashwa community, Mbaasar, Nzorov Council Ward of Guma Local Government Area, LGA, describing the attack as barbaric and another tragic reminder of the worsening security situation in the state.
In a statement issued Tuesday by his Media Assistant, James Ian, Aondoakaa expressed sadness over the attack, which also left several persons with varying degrees of injuries, and extended his condolences to the bereaved families while praying for the quick recovery of the wounded.
He described the incident as “barbaric, heartbreaking and yet another painful reminder of the worsening security situation in Benue State.”
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria lamented the persistent attacks on communities across the state, stressing that the effectiveness of any security arrangement should be measured by its ability to prevent attacks rather than merely responding after lives had been lost.
