Protest has rocked Owukpa in Ogbadigbo LGA of Benue State on Monday over abduction of traders in the area.

The incident occurred around 7 p.m. near the Eyiupi community as the victims were traveling from Orba market in Enugu to Owukpa.
The attackers, suspected to be armed herdsmen, reportedly ambushed the vehicle and took away the female passengers, both young and adult.
Since then, the kidnappers have not made contact with the families of the victims to make any demand.

At the moment, those traveling from Enugu and neighboring communities are stranded as the youths insisted nobody should go out or come into the community.
