A protest has erupted in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, following the reported killing of Emmanuella Ahenjir, a 23-year-old final-year student of the Federal University, Wukari, by police personnel.
Emmanuella was allegedly shot dead last Friday morning by unidentified police officers at the Wurukum roundabout while riding in a vehicle coming from the Gyado Villa area of the town.
The incident, which has sparked widespread outrage, has drawn protesters, mostly youths to the streets, led by prominent gender rights activist, Ukan Kurugh.
The demonstrators gathered in large numbers at the Wurukum roundabout, wielding placards with inscriptions such as “End Police Brutality” and “Justice for Emmanuella.”
The protesters are demanding a thorough investigation and immediate action from the authorities.
