Just days after the State House of Assembly passed into
law, prohibition of Open Rearing and Grazing of Livestock, three persons
have been confirmed killed by herdsmen in Tse-Akaa village, Ugondo Mbamar
District of Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.
An eyewitness, Margaret Acka, recounted that three persons
were killed in the process while several others were injured.
According to her, a few others are missing after they fled
to seek refuge at a nearby village.
“Fulani herdsmen were in my father’s house, shooting and killing at will. Three reported dead and others wounded. When will this end?”, she said.
Benue State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP
Moses Yamu confirmed the killings.
He stated that the suspected Fulani herdsmen were relocating
from the area as a result of the onset of the raining season and a clash with
the villagers ensued.
“Three persons were killed in the process but the police immediately mobilised to the area and I can assure you that peace has now been restored there.”Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
