 HERDSMEN KILL DRIVER ON HUMANITARIAN MISSION IN TARABA STATE 


10th January, 2026     


A commercial driver, Mr. Amishe Omeny, has been killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen while on a humanitarian visit to a displaced community in Takum Local Government Area of Taraba State.


The deceased, from Tse Amise after Tseem, was reportedly attacked on Friday within Chanchanji Ward as he travelled to Adokia, a displaced settlement located after Tseem Sabe. He was said to have gone to the area to assist villagers with the transportation of foodstuffs.


Sources in the community told Benue Info-pedia, that Omeny volunteered his services as a driver to support residents affected by ongoing insecurity, when he was ambushed and killed by the assailants.


The killing has sparked grief and outrage among residents, who described the incident as tragic and senseless. They called on security agencies and the Taraba State Government to urgently step up protection for displaced communities and those providing humanitarian support.


As at the time of filing this report, security agencies were yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
