‘22 killed’ in fresh Benue attack

At least 22 persons have reportedly been killed by suspected herdsmen in Benue.

The attackers were said to have struck a community in Guma around 6am on Wednesday.

Dickson Taki, a member of the house of representatives from Benue state, disclosed this while speaking on the floor of the house.

He said many were injured in the attack which happened barely 24 hours after 19 persons were killed in the state.

Moses Yamu, spokesman of the state police command, was out of reach when this report was filed.

He neither responded to calls nor replied the text message sent.
