Suspected herdsmen, late last
night ambushed traders in Guma LGA of Benue State, killing many of them,
including market women and children.
It was gathered that the victims
were returning from the popular Yelewata Market when the attackers laid ambush
on them, hacking some of them to death and inflicting injuries on several
others.
Earlier, the suspected herdsmen
had attacked Tse Igbe at Nyiev Council Ward in Guma Benue State, killing one
Christopher Unenge, a Catholic catechist and another villager identified as
Ayem Mbakuughur and many others.
Among those killed in the latest
attack was a man identified as Aondowase Uma, market women and some children.
“They killed Aondowase Uma, many
other persons and even injured four people who were returning from Yelewata
Market last night.
“As we speak, several persons are
still missing; as at this morning, search is still ongoing,” a fleeing resident
told our reporter Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, several calls to the
Benue State Police Command Police Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, ASP, for
comment were not responded.
How can ASP Yamu respond to the call since they are the ones aiding the killings.
