She said the gunmen, suspected to be herders, shot the man in the head through the windshield of his car.
The gunmen used a knife to cut the throat of the second victim who was killed on the farm, she said.The security source, who spoke to our reporter, lamented the upsurge in crimes in Ishiagu, noting that one person was killed last week by suspected kidnappers in Akaeze, a neighbouring community in the same local government area.
In March, the palace of the community’s monarch, Moses Ngele was vandalised during a protest by women of the community. The women had declared a weeklong peaceful protest against the killings and kidnapping of residents by suspected herders. The protest, which lingered for four days, later turned violent leading to the vandalisation of the Monarch’s palace by hoodlums who allegedly hijacked the protest.Sources in the area have accused the police and other security agencies of not doing enough to stop the attacks by gunmen in the area.
