Herdsmen Kill 15 in Fresh Attack on Benue Communities
No fewer than 15 persons were feared killed in fresh crisis between
herdsmen and farmers in Turan communities in Kwande Local Government
Area of Benue State.
However, the state Police Command claimed that two bodies had been recovered from the affected communities.
Vanguard
gathered that the renewed crisis has led to the disappearance of many
persons, while several houses, huts and farmlands have also been razed
in the besieged communities. According to a local in one of the affected
communities, the crisis erupted early Sunday morning when suspected
armed herdsmen invaded Ikyoawen, where four persons were reportedly
killed and houses razed.
The local said: “After that attack, they moved into Nzaav and Alaba in
Yaav council ward, where over 11 persons were hacked to death and
several houses burnt down by the herdsmen.
“Though the affected communities have been deserted, we are still
searching in the bushes for many missing persons, including women and
children.

“We also realized that the attackers have occupied the sacked
communities without resistance. As we speak, several of the houses are
still on fire.”
Reacting, the National Coordinator of Miyetti
Allah Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN, Alhaji Garus Gololo, said he
was not aware of the presence of herdsmen in the affected communities.
According to Gololo, “if anything is happening there, it would certainly
be the handiwork of criminal elements, who are bent on frustrating the
efforts of the government to ensure peaceful co-existence in the state.”
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, who
confirmed the attack noted that two deaths were recorded. Yamu said: “We
heard that Alaba and Mande Ordue communities in Yaav council ward of
Kwande council were under attack by suspected herdsmen.
“Mobile policemen have been deployed to the area as two persons,
including 65-year-old Keemo Anumen and 46-year-old Tervershima Dado,
have so far been confirmed dead and their corpses deposited at the NKST
morgue in Jato Aka.”
