Fulani Herdsmen Attack Benue Again...


Armed men of the Fulani cattle rustlers have continued in their unabated mayhem in the Benue state with more deaths recorded. Despite the outcry that trailed the killings and sacking of Agatu communities by suspected Fulani militia, the marauders have, again, laid siege to Logo Local Government Area of the state, killing two and sacking over 25 villages.The attackers also rendered close to 3,000 homeless after several houses and huts were razed in the affected villages. Vanguard learned that the invaders have taken over the affected villages in an incursion that
reportedly started about four days ago at Ukemberegya, Bwarer, Mbawar, Gov and Gambe Tiev communities.
A victim of the attack, Mrs. Terungwa Torhemba said "So many cannot be located at the moment; we have also lost all of our belongings, farm produce and farmland to the well-armed herdsmen who have completely taken over our villages.
“At the moment we have no source of livelihood because they have also converted our farm land to grazing settlements for their cattle.”When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu, said he was yet to get full details of the attack.
