An Armed militia reportedly from Ngbo in Ebonyi State killed four persons including three children in a community called Okokolo in Apopogolo, Ado local government area of Benue State.

Chairman of the local government area, James Oche, confirmed this on phone on Tuesday, explaining that a child less than 1 year old, two children of less than five years and their mother were murdered while their house was burnt down by the militia men.

Mr. Oche said the militia gang had carried out the attack in a guerilla fashion, saying hostility along the border between Ngbo and Akpopogolo has been there over time.

“We have always experienced this guerilla attack. You know the history of crisis between Ngbo and Ohaukwu and how we have always cried out that there should be a Police presence in the whole of that area.

“Our military (Operation Whirl Stroke) and other security agencies have been overstretched. The Ebonyi government have established a Police post and we are appealing to Benue State government to do same,” Oche said.

The LG boss further disclosed that the council is faced with a big humanitarian crisis following over 1000 displaced persons in the area.

He appealed to the National Emergency Management Agency, (NEMA) as well as the State Emergency Management Agency, (SEMA) to assist them with relief materials.

“We established an IDP camp but could not continue to cater for the displaced persons due to lean finances. The Deputy Governor Benson Abounu and Senator Abba Moro had assisted but lack of sustenance made the people to scatter. We really need help to take care of them,” he said.
