Suspected herders in Benue kill five, torch homes

During a four-day assault by alleged herdsmen who invaded various communities in Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State, at least 50 people are presumed dead.

Adam, Iyarinwa, Abamde Ityuluv, Waya Boagundu, Agura Ayaga, and Azege villages in Turan Council Ward, Kwande LGA, are among the impacted communities

Tertsua Yarkbewan, the immediate past chairman of the LGA, told journalists on Monday that about 50 people were massacred during the attacks by alleged herdsmen.

He said, “My people are being massacred like goats. What we have been hearing is that there are Fulani attacks, especially in Turan in the Kwande axis. Even places where there were no attacks before are witnessing attacks.

“Now, every day you hear that five or four people were killed, you cannot have the exact number of those that have been killed because some corpses are still in the bush and yet to be recovered. But looking at the number of people being killed in the past few days, I think the casualty figures should be over 50.”
