No fewer than 100 persons, mostly women, children and the elderly, were
feared dead early Sunday morning in villages and refugee camps located
at Ukura, Gafa, Per and Tse-Gusa in Logo Local Government Area of Benue
State, home town of Governor Gabriel Suswam, in one of the bloodiest
attacks on Benue communities by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
It was learnt that some of the attackers dressed in military uniform, stormed the affected villages in large numbers and after sacking the communities, matched into the camps and opened sustained fire on the helpless refugees. The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Gabriel Suswam on Media Affairs, Mr. Joseph Anawa, confirmed the incident.
