A 26-year-old nursing mother, Sewuse Tyoor, was yesterday killed by unknown gunmen at Taraku in Gwer Local Government Area of Benue State while her one-year-old baby boy was also severely injured. They were both attacked late at night by the gunmen.

Sources say the victim’s husband was murdered in like manner a few months ago also in Taraku.

The woman was reported to have identified four individuals as the murderers of her late husband, Chia Tyoor. The suspects who are officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have been scheduled to face trial later this month in Makurdi, the Benue State capital

The Chairman of Gwer local government area, David Maor, said the remains of the mother has been deposited at the Local Government General Hospital while her son was receiving treatment at the intensive care unit of the NKST clinic at Taraku.
