Suspected armed herdsmen have reportedly invaded Imatom community in Chembe- Ukemberagya, Logo Lacal Government Area, LGA, of Benue State killing three man and injuring several others.
The incident came shortly after a similar attack by suspected armed herders claimed some lives and left others injured when a state owned Benue Links Transport Company was attacked by armed herdsmen on Makurdi-Naka road while conveying passengers from Makurdi to Otukpo.
According to him “the spate of renewed attacks by Fulani herdsmen militia on the people of Gaambe-Tiev especially Ukemberagya communities in Logo LGA has taken a different dimension in an alarming proportion. The people are attacked on their farms, in their homes and waylaid and murdered on the roads.
“Another attack took place on Wednesday October 11, 2023 around 9am at Iorza along Tse Abiem road where two young men, Mbaadega Vihimga and Chuku Gaku who went to buy fish at Zebo Market near River Benue were waylaid on their way back by Fulani militia who inflicted them with various degrees of injuries. They are now receiving treatment at a medical facility at Iorza.
“That is why we are appealing and calling on the state and Federal Governments to as a matter of urgency deploy security to secure the area. If security personnel are stationed at Chembe village, Iorza settlement and Jootar village it will go a long way in providing security for the people on that axis.
