Video: Benue Youths Kill Huge Hippopotamus Terrorising Waterways

Youths in the Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State have reportedly killed a hippopotamus they claim has been terrorising waterways in their community.

News360 Info understands that the incident occurred on Thursday, July 6, 2023, near Ebete, a hamlet on the border between Benue and Nasarawa States.

Olikita Ekani, a former media aide to the immediate past governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, shared the video of the youths killing the animal with local tools.

He wrote, “Agatu youths killed a monster that was terrorising their waterways between Adeke and Ebete.

According to one of the eyewitnesses, the animal had stopped most of the fishermen from freely carrying out their legitimate occupation freely as they have kept them indoor, destroyed their canoes and wounded some fishermen.
