No fewer than 47 people have been killed in fresh
violence in Taraba and Benue states.
Many other people were also injured in the attack.
In Taraba State, 27 were killed a fresh violence at
Nwonko village in Wukari Local Government Area
of the state, while 20 were killed in Benue State.
Our correspondent gathered the attack began at the
early hours of the day leading to destruction of
farmlands and other property worth several
millions of naira.
The member representing Wukari Constituency in
the state House of Assembly, Daniel Gani, said
most of the victims were women and children.
He said “At the beginning, we thought the attackers
were Boko Haram insurgents from Maiduguri
because of their large numbers. But we discovered
later that they were Fulani herdsmen.”
The police spokesperson, Mr. Joseph Kwaji,
confirmed the incident, but said nine people were
killed.
Also, gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen
invaded Anyiin in Logo Local Government Area of
Benue State and killed 20 persons.
A resident, who identified himself as Kume, said 20
bodies were counted after the attack.
But the local government chairman, Mr. Kester
Kyenge, said that 15 bodies were seen of the time
of the last count.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr.
John Bako, confirmed the attack, but said five
bodies had been discovered so far while a search
is ongoing for the others.
A lawyer and activist, Sonia Ajoko, condemned the
attack and urged the state government to assist the
injured victims.[b]
