Gunmen attack the Abeda Shitile community in Gaambe-Tiev, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, killing four people, including a pastor, and injuring others. The assault begins around 5 p.m. on Tuesday as traders and residents are preparing to leave the local market, causing panic as gunmen open fire across parts of the community.
Multiple outlets identify the incident as being carried out by suspected armed herders or bandits and describe the victims as four dead and several people injured. Nigerian Eye provides additional detail on the reported movement of attackers between specific locations and lists the names of the deceased and injured residents, while other outlets summarise the same core event with less granular information. Premium Times reports four killed and five injured at the market, while Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria report four killed and eight injured. Attempts by Nigerian Eye to reach police for comment do not succeed at the time of publication.
Across the coverage, the main difference lies in the injury count and the level of background detail, but all accounts describe a market-day shooting in the same Benue community that kills a pastor and three others and leaves multiple people wounded.
