The incident occurred on Sunday evening and has left the community in mourning.

According to Ibaah Jacob, a former camp manager of Agagbe IDPs camp in Gwer West LGA, the victim, Ikyumbu Aondowase, 30, was ambushed by the attackers while he was returning from the farm with a group of others.

Jacob recounted the tragic events, stating, “Yesterday, July 14, 2024, armed men successfully attacked and killed Mr Ikyumbu Aondowase, 30. Mr Achin Terzungwe, 45, was one of those wounded badly during the attack and was rushed to Naka Hospital for treatment.”

Jacob further explained that the attack was a well-planned ambush. “They had taken the path that leads to Tse-Iorbogo while coming back from farms, unknown to them the gunmen had already laid an ambush on the bad spot of the road. On reaching the spot, the attackers started shooting at them and Aondowase was killed immediately. Others like Terzungwe who was badly wounded escaped. However, five people among them are still missing.”
