Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>No fewer than 12 persons have allegedly been killed by suspected herdsmen who invaded Tyuruv community of Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State.<\/p>\n

The armed militia who were suspected to have cramped in Chito invaded Tse-Azande, Tse-Ajauka,Tse-Ugema and Tse-Guzo settlements in the early hours of Wednesday and shot sporadically.<\/p>\n

An eye witness who confirmed the incident said some of the people fleeing their homes were shot to death at close range as others escaped with bullet wounds.<\/p>\n

The invaders were also said to have set ablaze several houses within the community forcing displaced people to take shelter in nearby bushes.<\/p>\n

Soldiers of Operation Whirl Stroke have been deployed to the community to restore normalcy.<\/p>\n
