Suspected herdsmen strike along Otukpo-Adoka road, Benue State.

The incident occurred around 11 p.m. on Sunday as the vehicle was en route to Otukpo from Abuja.

Eyewitnesses told DAILY POST that the attackers opened fire as soon as they sighted the vehicle, causing the driver to lose control and veer off the road into nearby bushes after being hit by a bullet and abducting all passengers on board.
