A young Nigerian graduate, Mathias Yogboh, has been reportedly killed by suspected Fulani militia in a fresh attack on Aondona community in Benue State.
Yogboh, popularly known as Jagaban, was a graduate of Religious Education from the University of Calabar.
His death has sparked widespread outrage and sorrow, particularly after a Facebook post he made just weeks before his killing resurfaced online.
In the April 20 post, Yogboh wrote: “Help me look for a better wife to marry before Fulani kill me, making me die as a childless person.”
Local sources report that Yogboh was killed during a violent raid by armed herdsmen, part of an ongoing wave of attacks that have continued to plague agrarian communities across Benue.
Reacting to the incident, human rights activist Ukan Kurugh described his death as tragic.
In a tribute, he wrote: “He once shared his fears… now he’s gone. Not long ago, he voiced his deepest fear — the threat of Fulani terrorist herdsmen. Tragically, that fear became his reality.
They took him from us. A voice silenced. A life cut short. A family shattered. Rest in peace, dear brother. You didn’t deserve this.”
