Armed
intruders have struck again in Benue, one of the troubled states experiencing
deadly attacks and destruction of properties in central Nigeria, killing 41
villagers in simultaneous assaults overnight, residents and officials have told
Premium Times.
Residents who informed Premium Times in
separate exchanges between Thursday morning and afternoon said the killings
occurred in two communities in Logo and Ukum Local Government Areas, Benue
State.
The residents also said the death toll may rise
sharply in the coming hours, as more bodies are still being removed from nearby
bushes.
The attacks come a day after 10 people were killed by gunmen said to be wearing
military uniform.
