Tears flows as Nigerian soldiers killed by bandit buried in Benue State.

The soldiers before meeting their demise were on a “stabilisation mission” in Benue State, Nigeria before they were killed by non-state actors popularly coined as bandits. The soldiers were initially declared missing by the army before the search and rescue mission, Operation Whirl Stroke deployed to find them found all of them murdered in Konshisha Local Government Area of the Benue State in North Central of Nigeria. This region has recently witnessed an increase in arm conflict between Fulani herdsmen and local farmers. Land dispute has also been a thing of contention in the area.
