JUST-IN: Herdsmen Launched Fresh Assault In Agatu, Apa
Many people in the Agatu and Apa Local Government areas of Benue State have reportedly lost their lives to another attack by suspected herdsmen.
Reports say that the attack occured Tuesday evening as one Sunday Dutse, a native of Odejo and younger brother to a former chairman of the local government, was killed along the Odugbeho-Ogbaulu road.
Dutse was reportedly displaced from his community in an earlier herdsmen attack and had been taking refuge in Ogwule-Kaduna, also in Agatu LGA.
On that same day, three youths were ambushed and killed in a separate attack which occurred in EdikwG’Icho, a community in Apa LGA; two of the victims were reportedly from EdikwG’Icho, while the third hailed from Ugbokpo.
These attacks came despite the recent visit by top military authorities, including the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), who promised increased security measures in troubled parts of the state.
