<p>A staff of the Benue State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Mr. Orseer Nyagu, has been killed after being abducted along the Agagbe-Naka road in Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State.</p>
<p>According to accounts from family members and colleagues, Nyagu was abducted alongside two other persons while travelling from Agagbe to Naka along the Agagbe-Naka road.</p>
<p>Sources said he allegedly lost his life while attempting to escape from captivity.</p>
<p>Sources close to the family disclosed that the kidnappers contacted his relatives after about two days in captivity and allegedly demanded a ransom of N15M for the victims’ release.</p>
<p>The amount was reportedly negotiated down to N500,000.</p>
<p>However, before the ransom payment could be completed, Nyagu allegedly attempted to escape from the kidnappers’ custody.</p>
<p>He was reportedly killed during the process.</p>
<p>The two other victims who remained with the abductors were later released and safely reunited with their families, according to community sources.</p>
<p>Residents, friends, and colleagues of the deceased have described him as a promising young worker whorecently secured employment with SUBEB.</p>
<p>In a tribute shared online, Ukan Kurugh, lamented the worsening insecurity affecting several communities in Benue State.</p>
<p>He described the late Nyagu as the son of his former primary school teacher and called for urgent action to address rising cases of kidnapping and violence along rural roads.</p>
<p>The killing has once again drawn attention to persistent insecurity in parts of Benue State, particularly in rural communities where residents and commuters reportedly remain vulnerable to attacks and abductions.</p>
<p>As of the time of filing this report, efforts to get a response from the spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command,DSP, Udeme Edet was not successful.</p>
