No fewer than 100 persons were killed by herders in six Local Government Areas in Benue State, a Special Adviser to Governor Ortom on Bureau of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ken Achabo, has claimed.
Achabo, who made this known, also raised the alarm that armed herdsmen had occupied some parts of the LGAs, grazing, destroying farm lands and harvested crops .
The SA, in statement made available to reporters in Makurdi, named the councils as Gwer West, Guma, Makurdi ,Logo, kwande and Agatu.
