Suspected Fulani herdsmen have
reportedly issued a notice of attack to some communities in Benue State.
Tribune reports that a threat
letter was delivered to one of the communities in Gwer West Local Government
Area on Friday.
The situation forced residents of
Adaka community in Makurdi, a boundary area with Gwer to flee their homes.
But the Police said security had
been beefed up in the area.
Spokesman of the Benue Police
Command, Moses Yamu, who confirmed the development, said the state Commissioner
of Police, Fatai Owoseni, had led officers and men to the area for on-the-spot
information and assessment.
He added that police units are
currently in strategic parts of Gwer to douse tension.
On Thursday, three persons were
confirmed killed following an attack on Tsokwa village in Anyii, Logo Local
Government Area of Benue.
Chairman of Logo local
government, Nyajo Richard, said attackers suspected to be herdsmen stormed the
village in large number, shooting at different directions.
