Youths in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State have k*lled a Hippopotamus said to have been terrr0rising the area.
A Facebook user, Okikita Ekani, aide to former Governor of the state, Dr Samuel Ortom, posted on his page on Friday that the animal wounded some fishermen while quoting an eyewitness.
The post read, “Agatu Youths k*lled a monster that was terrorising their waterway between Adeka and Ebete.
“According to one of the eyewitnesses, the animal had stopped most of the fishermen from freely carrying out their legitimate occupation freely as they have kept them indoor, destroyed their canoes and wounded some fishermen.
“He also added that the same animal was involved the eating up of farm produce and destruction of farm lands in the riverine villages in Agatu.
“It was alleged that the same animal also killed someone in Makurdi near the old bridge before escaping to Agatu through River Benue.”
