Several persons were reportedly killed after suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked Tse Igbudu Taraka in Benue State.
A resident of the area, James Gbudu, who reportedly confirmed the incident, said he barely escaped with his life. Gbudu said the development forced many to flee their homes.
According to him, the gunmen invaded the community in the wee hours of Tuesday and started, killing anybody in sight.
“As of now, there are no security personnel to help the situation.
“I managed to escape and reach where there is network to post this,” Gbudu said.
The Benue State Police PRO, Moses Yamu, was reported as saying that some officers have been deployed to the area to contain the situation.
“Our men are already on their way to the place to calm the situation. Will get back to you,” he added.
