Gunmen abducted six people, including a widower transporting his wife’s body to Okpoga, in Benue State. The kidnappers are reportedly demanding 15 million naira for their release, according to Meddy Olotu, a community influencer who says he spoke to the family.
In July 2026, three siblings transporting their mother’s body were abducted on the road from Ogobia to Adoka, in Benue State. This latest case is the second reported abduction of people travelling to a funeral along this corridor in less than five months. The six victims of Friday’s attack were abducted on the Adoka road, according to the toll reported on 2 November.
