Herdsmen strike in Benue, kill two in Guma

By: Oliseama Okwuchukwu

Suspected herdsmen last night killed at least two persons, injured several others and razed many houses in a fresh attack on Tse-Kyoon, Nyiev Clan, Guma LGA, Benue State.

GRASSROOTS gathered that the attackers, armed with dangerous weapons, stormed the village, Monday evening and started shooting sporadically into the air.

Guma is the county home of the state governor, Samuel Ortom.

The development forced many residents to desert their homes.

A resident of the community told our reporter that the suspected herdsmen, after killing the two victims, set ablaze some houses in the community before returning to their base.
