At least four persons were killed
in a renewed attack on Uhime and Angyo communities at Dooka in Doma Local
Government Area of Nasarawa State by armed men suspected to be herdsmen.
A resident of the area, John
Tyojembe, who escaped death by the whiskers, told newsmen in Lafia, the state
capital, that herdsmen invaded the communities in the early hours of Tuesday,
shooting sporadically.
Tyojembe said that apart from
those killed, the herdsmen destroyed many houses and foodstuff.
He said survivors, mostly women
and children, fled to Kadarko and Doma as well as Benue State.
Tyojembe called on both the
Federal Government and the state government to end the persistent attacks on
his people and provide lasting peace between farmers and herdsmen.
The state Police Public Relations
Officer (PPRO), DSP Idirisu Kennedy, could not be reached for comment.
