Last night, at Lafia Junction in Makurdi, Benue State, an individual known as Tortiv Nyaku, reportedly affiliated with the group Aye, was reportedly attacked shot, and killed by a group of approximately 10 members affiliated with the Vikings.
Tortiv, a former grassroots politician in Guma LGA, was well-regarded for his amiable personality, even by his adversaries.
Despite being a former member of Aye, he had distanced himself from any association with the group and had earned the respect of the community.
He leaves behind three wives and eight children. The community, dismayed by this reprehensible act, has expressed widespread outrage at the loss of a figure as respected as Tortiv.
His tragic demise serves as a solemn reminder that the perils of violence in cultism know no boundaries of age or circumstance.
