At least eight persons were feared dead late Saturday night in a fresh attack on Agagbe community, Sengev, Gwer West local government area of Benue after an invasion by suspected herdsmen.



According to our source, the marauding herdsmen resorted to sacking the community after their entreaty to be allowed into the community with their cattle to graze was turned down by the youths and elders of the area. “They had few days ago sent emissaries to the village to be allowed entry into the village to graze their cows but the people refused.

“Shortly after, the herders were seen with thousands of cow trying to enter the village which the people resisted. “They later came back and claimed that the cows had been killed but the people insisted that there was nothing like that.
