Suspected herdsmen have reportedly hacked to death a 30-year-old farmer, Shiaondo Goom and two others in their farms at Tse Goom Yogbo and Angela community in Guma local government area of Benue State.

Reacting, the Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP Moses Yamu said the Command received a report of the alleged murder of the 30 year old Shiaondo Goom.
“He was matcheted to death by suspected herdsmen at about 3pm while on the farm at Tse Goom Yogbo in Guma local government area. Investigation into the matter has since commenced,” Yamu said.
