In a show of killing audacity, suspected Fulani Herdsmen have launched new attacks in Benue and Adamawa States, killing at least two soldiers, a police man and two civilians and about 29 other people.

Suanu's Blog gathered that the Benue attack occurred near Otukpo last night and the victims who included two soldiers and a police man were men of the Joint Task Force, JTF, in the state.

It was further gathered that the deceased were mercilessly butchered by their attackers with some parts of their bodies chopped off. Their corpses have been deposited at the mortuary at Otukpo General Hospital, Thursday morning.

Meanwhile in Adamawa State, the suspected herdsmen on Wednesday also attacked Bare village in the Numan Local Government of the State, killing two people and inflicting 29 others with various degrees of injury.

Suanu's gathered that those killed were attacked on their farms, while the attackers also set the villages ablaze.

The Chairman, Numan Local Government Area, Rev. Arnold Ijibla, while calling on the people not to take laws into their hands, lamented that the security agencies were in control of the situation.

One of the victims of the attack, Simeon Mailaimu, who is the councillor representing Bare Council Ward in the local government, described the attack as unprovoked. Mailaimu, who is the leader of the Numan Legislative Council, also said that cows belonging to Fulani herdsmen had invaded a farmland, adding that the community was attacked because the residents tried to chase the cows away from the farm.

These attacks are coming as more Nigerians continue to condemn the recent attack on about 11 villages in Plateau State where over 200 persons have been confirmed dead from a similar attack from Fulani Herdsmen.
