Tragedy Strikes Benue Community
In a devastating incident over the weekend, an 80-year-old woman lost her life as approximately 50 houses were engulfed in flames in Tse-Agubor Gyaruwa of Tsambee-Mbesev Council Ward in Gwer West Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State.
Village Head’s Account
Chief Ayatse Agubor, the Village Head, shared with journalists that the fire erupted around 10 am when villagers were away on their farms.
The tragic incident unfolded as the elderly woman, Agubor’s mother, couldn’t find assistance to evacuate her sickbed. The fire’s origin is attributed to bush burning.

Hajia Kongo, a resident who suffered significant losses, pleaded for help after losing over 10 bags of maize, soya beans, clothes, and N110,000 hidden in the bags.
She urged both individuals and government entities to come to the aid of those affected.
Local Government’s Response
