BREAKING: Residents flee as suspected herdsmen attack another community in Benue
Residents of Ondo community in Ugboju, Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, fled their homes on Tuesday morning following a fresh attack by suspected armed herdsmen.
DAILY POST gathered that the attackers stormed the community in the early hours of the day and opened fire, forcing residents to flee for safety.
A native of the community and Labour Party House of Assembly candidate for the 2027 elections, Hon. Jimmy Nart, said the attack was ongoing at the time of filing this report.
In a message, he wrote: “I just received information from my family that Fulani terrorists are currently attacking Ondo, Ugboju. Protect yourself.”
The latest attack comes barely 48 hours after suspected armed herdsmen invaded Otukpo-Nobi community in the same local government area, where more than 18 people were reportedly killed.
As of the time of filing this report, the exact number of casualties from the latest attack could not be independently verified.
Efforts to obtain an official reaction from the Benue State Police Command were unsuccessful. The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Udeme Edet, did not respond to calls or a text message seeking confirmation and comments.
Residents said the situation remained tense as many families continued to flee the area for fear of further attacks.
