Troops of Operation WHIRL STROKE (OPWS), alongside a mobile police team, responded after suspected armed herdsmen attacked a checkpoint at Ayilamo in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State. The security personnel then launched a follow-up operation in the area to track the fleeing suspects and restore calm. During the operation, troops recovered the body of a police inspector who was killed in the attack. Authorities said the attack was another reminder of the security challenges still facing parts of Benue, where rural communities and security formations remain targets. Residents have been urged to remain calm and volunteer useful information to security agencies.
