When called to confirm the incident on Tuesday night, the Benue State police public relations officer, DSP Anene Sewuese, told our correspondent that she received some reports, but was yet to confirm the murder from officers on ground.

“I just reviewed a call from a Facebook user, but I’ve not been able to gather anything from the police officers on ground,” said Sewuese.

Terkura’s younger brother, Gabriel Suswam, is a former Benue governor and the current senator representing Benue North senatorial district in the 9th senate.

Terkura once served as the director of publicity in former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s presidential campaign in Benue state.
