Three APC members who were mistaken for armed robbers were killed by a
mob in Adikpo in Kwabde local government area in Benue state yesterday
April 18th. According to Facebook user, Apiah Ehpraims who is the Senior
Special Assistant on Media at ALGON Benue state, the men killed were
Denen Agber Kur, Sega Agber Kur and Jagba Uhembe. Read what he wrote on
his page after the cut...
Contrary to reports on the social media that three armed robbers were
killed earlier today at Adikpo, a reliable source has just confirmed to
me that the trio burnt by angry mob were not armed robbers as speculated
but members of the All Progressive Congress APC from Mbadura council
ward of Turan.
According to the source, the trio identified as Denen Agber Kur, Sega
Agber Kur and Jagba Uhembe were in Adikpo to escort sensitive materials
for the APC primaries to their ward.
Upon reaching Adikpo and waiting for the distribution exercise to
commence, the trio sat at a buruku joint near the Kwande APC Secretariat
to sip the local brew.
It was at that point that robbers stormed a filling station in same
location and after the robbers took off on motorbikes.
The trio, relatively unknown faces to the angry youth of the area became
suspect and killed instantly and set them ablaze.
