Bandits kill four in fresh Benue attack

The incident, according to a community leader, Atule Amodu, happened Wednesday night.

The bandits were reported to have invaded the sleepy village where they reportedly killed four people.

Speaking to journalists on the phone on Thursday,  Amodu said, “This place is called  Ikobi but it is the outskirt. The bandits came in and caught them unawares and began to kill them.

“They killed four persons and injured one. Their style is that they come around every other day and when they come, they will be patrolling with their cattle.”

A legal practitioner from the area,  Eche Akpoko, who is also the chairman of socio socio-cultural group known as Apa Development Association said that he received a report of an attack by bandits.

“As of this morning, I was told that four bodies were recovered,” he said.

Meanwhile, the state Public Public Relations Officer, Catherine Anen,  said that she was yet to receive such a report on the matter.
