The Makurdi Local Government Area Education Authority (LGEA) Education Secretary, Patrick Aese, who confirmed the report said the attack is popular among a section of Tiv people in Benue State.

He added that the demonic attack was easily triggered by red colors which happens mostly during burial ceremonies and in most cases while whistling or making noise. Affected people are left running and manifesting uncommon strength once attacked by the familiar spirits.
