    Were the attackers identified? The fact that no mention was made leads me to believe they might have been Islamic. Nothing can be done to prevent further violence until this is known.

    Shamefully racist comment, William. Did you read the article? No one hurt, but their Lexus SUV stolen. If you know Nigeria and Benue state, you’d be assuming this was a carjacking. Not good of course, but the assumptions we carry around without cause or knowledge (prejudice) are even less good
