Two children, aged six and seven who were abducted on the 3rd of July, around 5pm in Benue State, have been killed.
Eric Abba and Aondona Eric Abba, went to watch a match at a football viewing centre, a few metres away from their residence after their parents left home.
Their parents were said to have raised the alarm when they didn’t see them, leading to a search and rescue effort, which yielded no results.
However, the footwear of one of them was found near a pool of water and the second’s footwear at a nearby Catholic Church on Sunday morning.
Their corpses were found dumped near the water at J.S. Tarka Institute of Political Studies, with clear evidence of strangulation around their various necks.
