 GUNMEN KILL EX-GUMA COUNCILLOR AT HIS HOME IN BENUE 



A former councillor, Hon. Paul Mbatsaver Azahaan, has been killed by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen in Benue State, sparking fresh fears over insecurity in rural communities.


Azahaan, who represented Nzorov Council Ward in Guma Local Government Area, was reportedly attacked late on Saturday night, December 13, 2025, at his residence in Tse Azahaan village, Mbagen, Nzorov Ward.


According to local sources, the assailants stormed his home under the cover of darkness and launched a deadly attack, leaving the former councillor dead before fleeing the scene.


The killing has plunged the community into mourning and heightened anxiety among residents, many of whom say insecurity has continued to worsen across the area.


Described as a well-known grassroots politician, Azahaan was said to be deeply connected to his people. Community members have now called on security agencies to act swiftly, investigate the murder, and bring those responsible to justice.


As of the time of filing this report, police authorities had yet to issue an official statement, even as tension remains high in the affected community amid fears of possible further attacks.
