In the April 20 post, Yogboh wrote: “Help me look for a better wife to marry before Fulani kill me, making me die as a childless person.”
Mathias Yogboh, a Nigerian graduate murdered in a suspected Fulani militia attack in Benue State, had eerily foreseen his fate weeks earlier. The 28-year-old University of Calabar alumnus, killed during a raid on Aondona community, had posted on April 20: “Help me find a wife before Fulani kill me.” His death has ignited outrage, with human rights groups condemning the persistent violence in agrarian communities.

Activist Ukan Kurugh mourned: “He voiced his deepest fear – Fulani herdsmen. Tragically, that fear became his reality… A life cut short.” Local sources confirm Yogboh – nicknamed “Jagaban” – was ambushed while working his farm.
