The herdsmen menace is current not at bay as the blood-sucking cattle breeders reportedly launched an attack on a Benue community where two persons were sent to an early grave.
The herders attacked Agasha town, Guma local government area of Benue state, killed two while no fewer than three other people were seriously wounded as well as rustled a hundred cows.
The report gathers that the three people who were wounded during the horrible incident are current in an undisclosed hospital for proper medical attention.
Police spokesperson, DSP Moses Yamu however, claimed he has not gotten any report confirming the unpleasant scenario from the Guma Divisional Police Office.
Speaking on the incident, president of Tiv Barenda Association (TBA) Chief Aondona Adzuu, claimed the herdsmen invaded the house of one of the victim called Asema at about 2am when everyone fast asleep.
“They surrounded his house located on Tilley Gyado Farm road in Agasha town and shot him dead before rustling his 100 cows,” said Chief Adzuu.
Going further, Adzuu, who is a leader in Agasha community said that the second victim died as a result of the gunshot he sustained from the armed cattle breeders.
Agasha town was first attacked in 2014 where seven Tiv farmers were slaughtered while the recent attack is a re-occurrence of the massacre that plagued the community years back.
Meanwhile, NIGERIA NEWS had reported that Benue governor Samuel Ortom will in due time begin a 12-day annual leave.
