According to Vanguard, the incident which occurred on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 in parts of Logo local government area of state, is coming barely a week after suspected Fulani invaders killed about 300 persons in Agatu communities in the state.
Four villages; Tse Chia, Tse Nhumbe, Deghkia and Ngorukgan were stormed at about 2am, were besieged by the gunmen who were said to be shooting sporadically and burning down houses and huts in the affected communities.
“It was a coordinated attack on the four villages by the well armed herdsmen who stormed our villages in large number, around 2am and shooting sporadically.
“It was the sound of their gunshot that woke everyone from sleep resulting in a stampede and the gunning down and macheting of about 8 persons though the causality figure maybe more than that because many person are still unaccounted for just as scores sustained serious injuries.
“As I speak with you the affected villages have been deserted and the invaders have taken over and are razing in the ancestral homes of the people who have fled to Anyii, Ugba and Abeda towns, in their thousands, for fear of being killed.
“It’s a pathetic situation, the development has inflicted untold hardship on women, children and the elderly who are trekking long distances in search of safe haven and awaiting the intervention of security operatives,” a source informed.
The Benue state police spokesman, Assistant Superintendent (ASP), Moses Yamu in his response to the attack, said he was yet to receive details of the development.
This is not the first time that the cattle rustlers would enter communities to kill residents as they also ensured serious panic in Uzo Uwani local council area of Enugu state, where many people were confirmed dead and properties worth millions destroyed. http://www.bengist247.com/2016/03/8-feared-dead-as-fulani-herdsmen-attack.html?m=0
