Seven Feared Dead After Armed Men Storm Okele-Ejule in Kogi
Unidentified gunmen dressed in military camouflage reportedly attacked Okele-Ejule in Ofu Local Government Area around 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Witnesses say the assailants opened fire indiscriminately, killing at least seven people and forcing others to flee for safety. Residents fear the death toll could rise after another body was recovered from a nearby bush on Sunday morning. Motives remain unclear, with some pointing to alleged criminal links and others suspecting a political agenda. The Kogi State Police confirmed the recovery of three male corpses along the Ochadamu-Umomi Road. The bodies have been moved to Grimard Hospital Mortuary for autopsy, and a thorough investigation is underway to apprehend those responsible.
