By Peter Duru, Makurdi
At least 18 persons have been killed in separate attacks on communities in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, following fresh incursions by suspected armed herdsmen.
The attacks, which occurred over the weekend, have heightened concerns over the worsening security situation in Benue South.
It was gathered that the first incident occurred on Friday when the attackers invaded Akpachi village in Ugboju community, killing two farmers on their farmland. Their bodies were recovered on Saturday and buried.
