Tragedy struck in Benue State on Wednesday as suspected armed Fulani herdsmen launched a deadly ambush in Udei, resulting in the death of a dedicated security officer, Ernest Ayila, and several others.

The brazen attack occurred amid rising insecurity across the state, with coordinated assaults leaving communities like Agan in panic and forcing residents to flee their homes for safety.

Eyewitnesses described scenes of terror as gunfire rang out and the assailants overpowered local security teams.

Confirming Ayila’s death, mourners flooded social media with tributes, sharing his photo and calling for prayers for Benue and its embattled defenders.

“Our brother, Ernest Ayila, was among the security men killed today,” one post read, drawing widespread grief and calls for justice.
