How cultists killed 6-year old boy in Benue

Little Samson Bernard had his life cut down by bullets from suspected cultists in the North Bank area of Makurdi, Benue State capital.
The six-year-old met his death in a rather bizarre and painful manner in the hands of armed gang of young Nigerians parading the streets of major towns of Benue. The gang sometimes engage in bloody conflicts to gain supremacy.Samson was the fourth child in a family of seven.
His mother, a bean cake hawker, Mrs. Deborah Bernard , fought back tears as she narrated how her little boy was gunned down in her presence ..
According to her, she had just prepared bean cake, that morning, and served her seven children. They had barely started eating when she heard sound of gun shots.She told Vanguard
“Samson was sitting and eating his own share of the food at the entrance of our home while I continued to attend to customers who came to buy ‘moin moin’, bean cake, from me.

My son and the other children were yet to finished eating the breakfast when I heard the sound of gun shots from across our street, directly opposite our house.People started running. I immediately jumped up from where I was sitting and shouted to my children to move into the room.
I was also trying to run into the house for safety.Seconds later, my son (Samson) started calling me, saying ‘mama’ with blood dripping from his mouth. It was then I realized that he had been hit by bullet and was bleeding profusely from the mouth.At that point, I looked across the road at one of the boys who was involved in the incident that led to the shooting, and who is also our neighbour. I started wailing, ‘Emma, you have killed my son, you have killed by son’; he then fled.
