Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A young Nigerian graduate, Mathias Yogboh, has been reportedly killed by suspected Fulani militia in a fresh attack on Aondona community in Benue State.<\/p>\n

Yogboh, popularly known as Jagaban, was a graduate of Religious Education from the University of Calabar.<\/p>\n

His death has sparked widespread outrage and sorrow, particularly after a Facebook post he made just weeks before his killing resurfaced online.<\/p>\n

In the April 20 post, Yogboh wrote: \u201cHelp me look for a better wife to marry before Fulani kill me, making me die as a childless person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local sources report that Yogboh was killed during a violent raid by armed herdsmen, part of an ongoing wave of attacks that have continued to plague agrarian communities across Benue.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the incident, human rights activist Ukan Kurugh described his death as tragic.<\/p>\n

In a tribute, he wrote: \u201cHe once shared his fears… now he\u2019s gone. Not long ago, he voiced his deepest fear \u2014 the threat of Fulani terrorist herdsmen. Tragically, that fear became his reality.<\/p>\n

They took him from us. A voice silenced. A life cut short. A family shattered. Rest in peace, dear brother. You didn\u2019t deserve this.\u201d<\/p>\n
