At least 15 bodies have been recovered after an attack by armed invaders on Ugboju community in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.

Locals said many people were still missing after the invasion of the village on Wednesday evening by the assailants who had continued attacks on the area for two weeks.

A villager, who spoke to our correspondent on telephone, said the bodies were recovered Thursday morning, adding that the people were helpless over the situation.

He stated that before noon, more bodies might be discovered as search parties continued to comb bushes for missing persons.

Prince Inalegwu Adagole Simon, who hails from the affected village, narrated to our correspondent in Makurdi that the attackers besieged the community around 3pm on Wednesday.

[b]“It was around 3pm yesterday (Wednesday) those attackers came to my village and killed 15 persons. Some persons have been displaced from home. Before now, we had no issue with them (attackers),” [/b]Simon said.

The member representing Agatu constituency in the State House of Assembly, Godwin Edoh, also decried the fresh killings which he said happened on Wednesday.

Edoh said, “I’m frustrated as a representative of my people by their cries. I have forwarded all the gory photos of the bodies recovered to the WhatsApp lines of both the governor and his deputy.”

Spokeswoman of the police in Benue, Catherine Anene, said she was yet to receive information about the incident from the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Agatu.

“Let’s wait for the DPO, I will confirm from him. As we speak, there are so many police teams deployed to Agatu,” Anene said.

Thank God these people slept with at least boxers on.
Imagine the embarrassment they would have felt if they slept naked and were killed by Fulani herdsmen.

Not only will they be dead but their nakedneşs will be all over the internet; in which case will be a proper scenario of the term "double wahala for dead body".

God1000:
Not again, where are the vigilante group formed by the former governor Ortom? Are they sleeping or what

The federal government will not help anyone in Benue, so my people should defend themselves.

In Bayo Onanuga's voice just Only 15, when hundreds die in South Africa and USA.

The killings over there in Agatu is real.

My colleague over here who happens to be from one of the villages in Agatu LGA was inundated with calls and videos of the killings this night and I was privileged to see them and get first hand information.

The security agencies in Nigeria needs to up their game with immediate effect to forestall all these brutal killings by rampaging herdsmen hell bent on taking other peoples lands.
