Gunmen have fatally shot two individuals in the community of Ogbe, located in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State. The tragic incident occurred on Friday, with reports indicating that the gunmen, armed with sophisticated weaponry, carried out the attack without encountering any resistance from security forces in the vicinity.
A confidential source revealed that the perpetrators, believed to be of Fulani descent, killed two active youths engaged in community duties near the Oyi River before moving towards Ogbe Town. The violence has plunged the town into mourning, prompting urgent actions to be taken. Senator Sunday Karimi, the representative for Kogi West Senatorial District, condemned the act, emphasizing the need for state police in light of escalating incidents of banditry and kidnapping in Yagba land.
He urged the Kogi State government to prioritize the construction of the Egbe-Ogbe road in Yagba West Local Council for improved accessibility. Senator Karimi extended his condolences to the affected families and the Ogbe community at this difficult time. The Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Ovye Aya, stated that the Command has yet to receive a formal report on the tragic event but assured that updates will be provided once detailed information is obtained.
