8 Persons Feared Dead As Suspected Herdsmen Attack 2 Benue Villages by Nsonso: 9:49am On May 09, 2017
Eight persons were feared dead following an attack by
suspected herdsmen, on two villages in Logo Local
Government Area of Benue state, a Police statement said.
The Spokesman of the Police Command in Benue, ASP
Moses Yamu, confirmed the attacks in a statement on
Monday in Makurdi.
Yamu said the attacks on Akaa and Tse-Orlalu villages in
Mbamar, Ugondo communities, were perpetrated by
suspected herdsmen late on Sunday.
He said that the police had yet to establish the motive for
the attack and that adequate personnel had been drafted to
the villages to restore normalcy.
He said the attackers invaded the villages, killed eight
people and injured many others.
Meanwhile, an eye-witness told the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) on Monday that the herdsmen came in from Taraba
State through Abaji and Mbamar in Ugondo community,
“They started first by attacking Akaa village before
advancing to neighbouring Orlalu.’’
The eye-witness, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
said that several villagers were still missing.
NAN recalls that suspected herdsmen had attacked some
communities in the past, including Agatu community, where
10 persons were killed.
Meanwhile, efforts by security agencies and the state
government are still ongoing to curtail the restive herdsmen
and protect communities.
