“Killed a monster” – Benue youths kill huge hippopotamus terrorizing waterways

Local youths are said to have killed a hippopotamus that was allegedly wreaking havoc in the waterways of the Agatu Local Government Area in Benue State.

On July 6, 2023, the incident happened close to Ebete, a hamlet on the border of the states of Benue and Nasarawa.

A video was shared by Olikita Ekani, a former media assistant to Samuel Ortom, the outgoing governor of Benue State, showing the kids using local tools to kill the animal.

Ekani claimed that a monster that had been terrorizing the waterways between Adeke and Ebete had been killed by the young people of Agatu.

His statement reads in part “Agatu youths killed a monster that was terrorising their waterways between Adeke and Ebete.”

According to reports, the hippopotamus had been preventing fishermen from freely carrying out their occupation, confining them indoors, damaging their canoes, and causing injuries to some fishermen.

It was also accused of devouring crops and destroying farmlands in the riverine villages of Agatu.

Furthermore, it was alleged that the same hippopotamus had killed someone near the old bridge in Makurdi before fleeing to Agatu through the River Benue.*
