    Suspected herdsmen start new attack on Naka, Benue, with scores feared dead

    Published on

    Suspected armed herders attacked the Tyoshin hamlet in Naka, the seat of the Gwer West Local Government Area in Benue State, late Sunday night, killing a number of people.

    Local sources claim that the terrorists terrorized innocent locals when they invaded the neighborhood in the dark.

    Although the precise number of fatalities was unknown at the time this article was filed, witnesses characterized the attack as vicious and destructive.

    Monday Dooden, a local resident, was one of the people killed in the Naka attack.

    “Monday Dooden, my brother, we ran away from the village because of Fulani attacks to Naka over ten years ago, but we didn’t escape,” said his brother Akawe Francis on social media, expressing his sorrow. The same Fulani killed you last night.

    Suspected herdsmen were said to have carried out a similar attack earlier in the day in Edikwu Ankpali, Apa Local Government Area, where multiple people were reportedly slain.
