19-year-old student Denen Lagudu was on his way
home from school when he was shot dead by unknown gunmen who invaded
Yam Market in Zaki Biam, Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State on
Monday, March 20th
Over 30 people were killed in the
bloody massacre including women and children. The attackers also razed
several buildings and a petrol station in the area, while several people
sustained injuries…
Demi, as he was fondly called,
was laid to rest at Tse-Lagudu mbagbe, Shangev Tiev, Konshisha Local
Government Area of the state on Saturday, April 8th.
According
to Charles Shabu, who attended the burial, family of the deceased paid
to retrieved his body from the mortuary despite the N5 million released
by the state governor to help victims of the massacre. Read his post
below:
“I watched with tears as a 19 year old boy was lowered to the grave with
his mom whom went unconscious and his dad weeping like a ten year old
baby.
Today Mark a black history for Lagudu family of konshisha
as little Mr Denen Lagudu whom was murdered during the massacre of
innocent souls by unknown gunmen on 20 March 2017 at Zaki biam yam
market on his way back from school was laid to rest at Tse_Lagudu
mbagbe, Shangev Tiev ,Konshisha local government area of Benue state.
Demi as he is fondly called by friends and family member, was on his
way from school happily after he wrote his last paper only to meet his
untimely death by unknown gunmen whom killed over 25 persons, destroyed
properties and left hundreds wounded.
Immediately Gov Ortom visited Zaki biam to get first hand information with other stakeholders like Hon Paul Biam,
BT ashaver, Prof Kpelai , Abu king Shuluwa and many others except our
Honourable representative from sankera Hon Emmanuel Udende whom was
absent and has refused to visit the affected people to console with
them till date.
Gov Ortom whom express shocked at the destruction
of properties and death toll ordered the immediate pass chairman of
ukum honourable Moses Asawa to transfer all wounded victims to teaching
hospital makurdi for proper treatment and gave Asawa a sum of five
million naira to ensure proper burial for those murdered by the unknown
gunmen. Unfortunately Mr Moses Asawa ran away with the said sum and
nothing has been done about it till date.
The family of late Denen
spent almost two hundred and fifty thousand to remove the corpse from
the mortuary and transportation to shangev Tiev despite Ortom release of
the five million for that purpose, nothing has been received by the
deceased families and no injured person has been move to teaching
hospital as directed by Ortom.
Now dishonorable Moses Asawa the
former chairman of ukum is on the run as even handover, the man has not
handed over to DGSA as directed by Ortom due to financial recklessness
and embezzlement of local government fund’s.
The blood of Denen would certainly catch up with his killer’s and those that ate the money met for his final departure”
