Over 30 persons have been reportedly killed in Kwande, Katsina/Ala and Logo local government areas of Benue state after suspected Fulani herdsmen dressed in military uniforms sacked six villages in the three council areas.
According to an eyewitness, the herdsmen also burnt down farmlands, house and huts in the affected communities.
It was reliably gathered that the invaders who had in the last few weeks attacked the southern part of the state, moved up north and were said to be heading towards the country home of Governor Gabriel Suswam in Logo and that of the former Minister of Steel, Wantaregh Paul Unongo in Jato Aka.
According to our source, “eighteen people were said to have been killed at Tse Ibor, Tombo and Mbawa all in Logo local government area, while another seven were said to have been killed at Anyiase near Kashimbila in Kwande local government area.”
Reacting to the fresh crisis, Governor Gabriel Suswam decried the latest attack on the Tiv communities.
