Fulani Herdsmen – More than 45 persons including some unidentified security operatives have been killed by suspected armed Fulani herdsmen in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue state.
The killing occurred when armed men numbering about seven hundred invaded the community. They reportedly killed 38 persons on Sunday while the others were murdered in another fresh heinous attack in the early hours of today.
Thousands of people including fishermen and government workers were displaced, even as majority of the victims of the attack had fled to Ogbokpo, the headquarters of Agatu LGA and to some neighboring Igala villages in Kogi state.
The entire clans of Agatu LGA, churches, market places, schools and government offices were completely closed down, just as workers could not go to work for fear of being killed by the herdsmen. –
