Local Government Area of Kogi State.
DAILY POST learnt that the incident happened on Friday.
It was further gathered that the gunmen, who were armed with
sophisticated weapons, killed their victims without being intercepted by
security agencies in the area.
A source who does not want to be named, said “Some gunmen
identified as Fulani reportedly murdered two of our active youths committed to
community assignment around the general area of Oyi River before ascending Ogbe
Town here in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State.
“It is a sad incident that has thrown the ancient town Into
mourning. Necessary activities are in top gear presently. Ogbe Town needs our
prayers and support at this critical period.”
Condemning the incident, the lawmaker representing Kogi West
Senatorial District, Senator Sunday Karimi,
said the latest incidents of banditry and kidnapping in Yagba land have
reinforced his earlier call for state police.
He called on the Kogi State government to immediately
commence work on Egbe–Ogbe road in Yagba West Local Council of the state for
easy access.
The senator consoled the families of the bereaved and the
entire people of Ogbe community.
When contacted, the Kogi State Police Public Relations
Officer (PPRO) SP William Ovye Aya said the Command is yet to get report on the
incident.
He promised to give our correspondent feedback as soon as he
gets detailed information about the incident.
