Suspected herdsmen on Monday evening launched fresh assaults
in Agatu and Apa Local Government areas of Benue State, leaving several people
dead.
It was gathered that in Agatu LGA, one Sunday Dutse, a
native of Odejo and younger brother to a former chairman of the local
government, was killed along the Odugbeho-Ogbaulu road.
Dutse was reportedly displaced from his community in an
earlier herdsmen attack and had been taking refuge in Ogwule-Kaduna, also in
Agatu LGA.
Earlier in the day, a separate attack occurred in
EdikwG’Icho, a community in Apa LGA, where three youths were ambushed and
killed.
Two of the victims were reportedly from EdikwG’Icho, while
the third hailed from Ugbokpo.
These attacks came despite the recent visit by top military
authorities, including the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), who promised increased
security measures in troubled parts of the state.
