BREAKING: Again, Fulani herdsmen attack Benue community, kill 5

No fewer than five persons have been reportedly killed in a fresh attack on Tse Alashi Kaambe community in Guma Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state by suspected armed herdsmen.

Vanguard quoted a source as saying that the attackers, in an unprovoked attack, stormed the community Friday afternoon at about 1pm when the victims were busy in their farms and brick moulding site.

He said: “The Fulani herdsmen stormed Tse Alashi, Kaambe communty this (Friday) afternoon around 1pm when the people were in their farms and their petty business places, and butchered their victims like animals without any provocation.

“They killed three people who were working on their farms and also moved to where some people were moulding burnt bricks and killed two others after which they retreated.

“It is sad because this is another unprovoked attack, just when our people are trying to cultivate their farms in order to get food for their families. They just want our people to vacate their ancestral homes for them because as we speak women and children are already fleeing from the community.”
