Suspected Fulani herders have unleashed another round of terror on Mchia, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, killing five people.


The Chairman of Logo Local Government Area, Richard Nyajo, told a journalist on the phone on Monday that the herdsmen stormed the village at about 9p.m. and opened fire on the people most of whom were still out trading.

 He said five persons were killed instantly with several others sustaining serious injuries.

 "Yes, I can confirm to you that the herdsmen attacked my village (Mchia), killing five persons and injuring many others. After the attack, they withdrew through Arugu, a village close to Anyiin. The villager traced their footsteps and discovered some bank ATM cards which will be given as evidence to security personnel to investigate. They were 10 in number,” he said.

The chairman also said soldiers in the area went after the attackers but “we do not know what happened afterward,” adding that he has deposited the corpses as well as the injured persons at the General Hospital in Anyiin.
However, the police and the army are yet to  confirm the latest killing in Logo.
