Several people were killed in a suspected herdsmen attack in Umogidi township, Entekpa Adoka district, Otukupo Local Government Area, Benue State.

The ugly incident that took place on Wednesday left 46 people dead, including the son of the head of the Otukpo Municipality, Mr Bako Eje.

Lt. Col. Paul Hemba, Gov. Samuel Oltom’s special adviser on security, confirmed the progress to the Daily Post on Thursday.

Though 46 bodies were found, many residents suffered critical injuries, implying the death toll would rise. He said:

“I can confirm to you that there was an attack in Umogidi, and as of this morning, the casualty figure, from those who were seen physically from what I was told, was 46. But the figure may be higher because some people are still reported missing.”

The fresh attack came a day after the daredevil terrorists invaded the community and killed three people on Tuesday.

The suspected herdsmen attacked the Igbobi community in Apa Local Government Area before the incident.
