Many Feared Killed As Suspected Herdsmen Attack SGF Akume’s Village After Tinubu’s Visit
Suspected herdsmen have reportedly launched a deadly attack on Wannune community in Tarka Local Government Area of Benue State.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, is from the local government.
The attack left many dead and several others injured, according to DailyPost.
The assault occurred just 48 hours after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu visited the state to address the worsening insecurity.
A youth corps member serving in the area described the situation as chaotic and terrifying.
“Everyone is running into the bushes for safety. Please let Nigerians pray for us. The herdsmen are ravaging the environment now,” the corps member said in a desperate SOS, calling on security agencies for urgent intervention.
During his tour of the state, the President met with stakeholders and ordered the Inspector General of Police and the Chief of Defence Staff to apprehend those behind the killings.
His visit followed a gruesome massacre in Yelewata, Guma Local Government Area, where over 200 people were killed, a tragedy that sparked national outrage and condemnation.
