By Peter Duru
No fewer than 10 persons were reportedly killed and over 15 others injured in the early hours of Wednesday when suspected armed herdsmen attacked Sai community in Mbajir Council Ward of Katsina-Ala Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue State.
The latest attack came less than a week after the killing of the Benue State Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Ardo Risku Muhammad, who was ambushed and murdered at Okudu community in Otukpo LGA while returning from a security meeting in Ohimini LGA.
Residents said the attackers invaded Sai community at about 1am, shooting indiscriminately at villagers who were asleep, triggering panic as many fled for safety.
