Benue Violence: Soldier and Civilians Fall Victim to Suspected Cultists

In Benue State, suspected cultists have killed a soldier and three others in a series of violent clashes between rival cult groups in the North Bank area of Makurdi.

These incidents, involving the Black Axe and Supreme Vikings confraternities, have led to significant unrest in the region.

The violence reportedly began last week and continued over several days, causing panic among residents, who have fled their homes and closed businesses out of fear.

The clashes included brutal killings, house burnings, and further tensions as residents called for more decisive government action.

Local sources indicated that some victims were dismembered, highlighting the severity of the violence.

While community anti-cultism groups have confirmed the incidents, efforts to get comments from the state police have been unsuccessful so far.
