Protesters in Benue State storm the palace of the paramount ruler of the Idoma nation, Och’Idoma, His Royal Majesty Agabaidu Elaigwu John Odogbo, carrying corpses of people killed in recent attacks. The protests occur after separate attacks in two communities in Otukpo Local Government Area, where at least ten people are reported killed. Youths bring the bodies to the palace to register their grievances and demand urgent action to stop what they describe as recurring bloodshed in Benue South. The protesters call on the Benue State Government, the Federal Government, and security agencies to intervene. Witness accounts in reports describe the protesters as angered by the killings and frustrated with political leadership, with some questioning how long the violence will continue. The reports attribute the attacks to suspected herdsmen, without providing additional investigative findings or confirmed details about responsibility beyond that allegation. The outlets agree on the main sequence of events: fresh killings in Otukpo, the carrying of victims’ corpses to the Och’Idoma palace, and public demands for government and security action.
