A couple known as Mr. And Mrs.Tyav Yina,
owners of Tyav Family Local Cooperative, Benue
State, were on Saturday murdered by two
unknown gunmen, Vanguard reports.
Reports say that they were killed in their Katsina/
Ala residence by the men who stormed their home
on motorbike.
According to a resident, “The two assailants
stormed the home of the couple on motorbike at
about 7am and went straight to the living room,
shot them severally after which they shot
sporadically in the area as they fled".
This came barely 24 hours after the gruesome
murder of a PDP, leader, Chief Atoza Ihindan, and
20 others in Katsina/Ala local government area.
Reacting to the incident, former Lagos State
Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav,
urged the Federal Government to beef up security
in the state.
Tsav said, “What you see happening in Katsina/
Ala is becoming uncontrollable because hardly a
day passes without reports of gruesome murder.
This is how Boko Haram started in the North
East.
"I have called the attention of the Inspector
General of Police to the ugly development
because I feel disturbed; I’m urging the Federal
Government to deploy more security operatives to
the state because it appears the personnel on
groun d have either been overwhelmed or
compromised.
"I must confess that the present Commissioner of
Police is doing his best as a thorough officer, but
it appears his subordinates are not doing their
jobs.”
When contacted, Benue State Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent,
ASP, who confirmed the killings, said the
Commissioner of Police, Hyacinth Dagala, had
detailed the Assistant Commissioner of Police in
charge of Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Unit to move into the area.
