Seven Killed in Fresh Attack on Benue Community

At least seven people have been confirmed dead following an ആക്രമ by suspected armed herders on Channel One community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.

The affected settlement, located along the Arufu–Wukari road near the border with Taraba State, was reportedly invaded late Sunday night. Residents said the attackers stormed the area around 11 p.m., firing indiscriminately and forcing villagers to flee.

A local resident, Amos, who spoke via telephone, said the sudden gunfire caused panic as people ran for safety. A community leader, Joseph Anawah, also confirmed the нападение, initially reporting six fatalities and identifying the victims as Akor Gwakyaa, Msooter Gwakyaa, Aondoungwa Michael, Vershima Michael, Terna Michael, and Msughter Terzungwe.

He added that several others sustained serious injuries and were taken to hospitals in Anyiin, while about seven critically injured victims were transferred to Ugba for further treatment.

According to Anawah, the attackers—believed to be armed Fulani herders—arrived in large numbers on motorcycles and were heavily вооружены. He alleged that they may have come from a camp in Shaor, a deserted village in Logo LGA previously flagged in intelligence reports as a base for armed groups.

The assault has triggered fresh displacement, with residents of the affected and nearby communities fleeing to safer locations over fears of additional attacks.

Chairman of Logo LGA, Clement Kav, confirmed that seven people were killed and four others injured. He said the assailants carried out a swift हमला before retreating.

Kav noted that the incident has been reported to the police commissioner and the state’s Special Adviser on Homeland Security.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, DSP Udeme Edet, said she had not yet received full details of the incident but promised to provide updates.

The latest killings add to a growing wave of violence across Benue State. In recent days, multiple attacks have been recorded, including the killing of a traditional ruler and his family in Agatu LGA, as well as the murder of three mourners and abduction of two others in Ushongo LGA.

Community leaders are now urging both state and federal authorities to strengthen coordinated security operations, particularly along border areas, and to dismantle suspected armed camps to prevent further bloodshed.
