Benue: Unknown hoodlums kill NDC chairman, dump body in Makurdi bush

Igbu Terhemen, chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Benue State's Fiidi Council Ward, was reportedly killed by suspected hoodlums. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening near the NNPC Depot on Makurdi-Otukpo Road. Terhemen, who had gone out to watch a local football match, was found unconscious in a bush close to his residence around 2 am on Wednesday.

He had died before receiving medical attention. Strangely, his attackers did not take his phone, which was discovered on him. A needle-like injury on his body suggested he may have been injected with a substance. The Benue State chapter of the NDC condemned the murder, describing Terhemen as a dedicated party member. The party's state chairman, Ohini Ojegbe, called the killing a "broad-daylight evil" and demanded a swift investigation into the circumstances. The Benue State Police Command has not yet received any report regarding the alleged incident.
