Many k!lled as suspected herdsmen attack Benue community

Gunmen suspected to be herders have k!lled many people in a renewed attack on Anyiin community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.

 

It was gathered that the attackers invaded the town around 6:32 pm on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. 

 

Several others reportedly sustained varying degrees of injuries, while many people were reported missing as of the time of filing this report.

 

A community leader from Anyiin, Joseph Anawah, who confirmed the incident to the punch on Thursday, said that the suspected bandits, numbering over 20 and heavily armed, carried out an operation that lasted three hours.

 

“Terrorists yesterday, Wednesday, October 30, 2024, unleashed terror on Anyiin town, Logo LGA of Benue State, in an operation that started around 6:32 pm, leaving over 15 people dead, some with injuries, and others missing,” he said. 

 

Among those k!lled in the gruesome attack are a retired primary school supervisor, Orihundu Ati, and the son of the Kindred Head of Mbawuave, Zaki Mbatern.

 

He listed include the son of the former Chief of Staff to the former Logo local government chairman, Tordoo Suswam, (pictured) and the son of Mr Uyange Chembe, the younger brother of the late District Head of Ukemberagya, Zaki John Chembe.

 

Anawah, a former aide to the former governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam, said the large number of invaders overwhelmed the security operatives stationed in the town.

 

While noting that Wednesday’s attack was the second in October, Anawah called on the state government to collaborate with the Federal Government to provide maximum security in the area.
