There was shock and grief in Naka, headquarters of Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State, following the alleged killing of a 29-year-old woman, Comfort Hajia Anura.
The tragic incident, which reportedly occurred in January 2026, has thrown residents of the area and neighbouring communities into mourning.
According to sources in the community, the deceased was allegedly attacked by a man described by residents as mentally unstable. A Facebook post shared on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, by Ado Benjamin, claimed that the suspect assaulted the woman with a stick, inflicting severe injuries.
She was said to have later succumbed to the injuries sustained during the attack.
Eyewitnesses alleged that tension heightened in the aftermath of the incident, leading to the killing of the suspected assailant at the scene. However, the exact circumstances surrounding her death were still sketchy.

The development has left the community in a sombre mood, with many residents expressing sadness over the loss. Friends and neighbours described the deceased as a vibrant young woman whose life was cut short in her prime.
Family members disclosed that she is scheduled to be buried on March 7, 2026, in her hometown of Tse-Ashwe, Mbabija, Mbachohon, in Gwer West Local Government Area.
Meanwhile, the tragedy has sparked renewed calls for increased attention to mental health awareness and improved access to support services, particularly in rural communities.
Authorities are expected to provide further clarification as investigations continue.
