Neighbors reported hearing sporadic gunshots that shattered the silence of the night, causing panic in the community. By the time they rushed out, Udeh was lying in a pool of blood.
He was later confirmed dead and his body has since been deposited at the Otukpo General Hospital morgue.
The killing has thrown the community into mourning, with residents describing the late politician as a grassroots mobilizer and a strong pillar of support for the APC in the area.
Security operatives have yet to issue an official statement on the assassination, but there are growing calls from residents and party members for an urgent investigation to track down those responsible.
The gruesome murder adds to the rising wave of insecurity in Benue State, where recent months have witnessed a series of violent attacks, kidnappings, and political tensions.
