Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have killed the Labour Party Chairman in Igumale Ward 1 of Ado Local Government Area of Benue State, Mr. Sunday Oche.
The deceased was said to have been shot dead in an ambush while on his way from the farm in the company of five others, who escaped with serious injuries.
A friend of the deceased, who pleaded anonymity, revealed that the victims had on Monday gone to a farm in Igumale and while on their way back, ran into an ambush by the armed herdsmen.
"There were six of them who went to the farm on two motorbikes. They were coming back about 4:30 pm, when they ran into the ambush of armed herdsmen, who were all over the place in Ado LGA.
"The armed herders flagged them down and immediately shot the Chairman, who was the first person they confronted, who died on the spot.
