Suspected armed bandits on Sunday attacked Tse Akor Gbatse village in Mbamar clan, Nyiev Council Ward of Guma Local Government Area, Benue State, killing a farmer, Mr. Tachia Akor, and injuring his wife and another woman, Mrs. Mbagbedi Tsetim.
The attack, which occurred between midnight and 1 a.m., came less than 24 hours after residents reportedly raised an alarm about a possible assault by suspected herders in the area. Community sources said several persons were still missing as of the time of filing this report, while the injured victims were taken to Adi Hospital in Daudu.
The body of the deceased farmer has been deposited at the Daudu morgue.
A resident disclosed that intelligence reports earlier warned of planned attacks by armed groups allegedly camped at Rukubi town in Nasarawa State.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer for the Benue State Command, DSP Udeme Edet, confirmed the incident, stating that officers have been deployed to restore calm and that investigations are ongoing.
