Suspected herders have left at least 15 individuals dead following an attack on Ugboju community in the Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.
The assailants, who have been launching continuous assaults on the area over the past two weeks, struck the village on Wednesday evening, plunging the locals into distress.
Eyewitnesses report that several people are still unaccounted for, prompting active search parties to comb the bushes in hopes of finding any survivors left in the wake of the attack.
Godwin Edoh, the representative for Agatu Constituency in the State House of Assembly, expressed dismay at the recent surge in violence and confirmed the incident on Wednesday. Edoh lamented, saying, “I’m frustrated as a representative of my people by their cries. I have forwarded all the gory photos of the bodies recovered to the WhatsApp lines of both the governor and his deputy.”
