Unidentified gunmen have reportedly killed no fewer than at least 11 people in an attack on some communities in Nyiev-ya, Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State.

It was gathered that the incident happened on December 25 when the people were celebrating Christmas with their families.

A resident in the community confirmed the attack to newsmen on Thursday.

The resident, who preferred to be anonymous, said they received a distress message that Nyiev-ya was under attack.

“The terrorist herders came this afternoon (December 25), and invaded Ubutu and GSS Anwase, killing and burning houses.

“Daniel Jam’s son was killed by the terrorists. Pray for our community for God’s and Government intervention,” the resident said.

While the killing was going on in Tse Azege community, another resident also disclosed that an attack was also ongoing in Ityuluv, in Nyiev-ya community.

“If there is anything the chairman or the government will do, let it be fast. The news coming from Kwande is still not pleasant.

“The terrorist herders have continued with their onslaught against our people today, (December 26),” he said.

The President General of Mzough U Tiv Worldwide, Iorbee Ihagh, who hails from Kwande LGA, said the community head in the area confirmed the attack.

He described the attack as unprovoked and said several people were killed on Christmas Day.

“11 people were reportedly killed during the attack on Kwande LGA yesterday. The attack was unprovoked but the attackers who were herdsmen invaded the communities and attacked the people.

“Many are still missing. Leaders of the affected communities have reported the attack at the police station,” he said.

Another local, Solomon Amande, whose community was affected, confirmed the death of 11 persons, saying the killings were carried out by armed herders and militia groups.

Contacted, the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, Sewuese Anene, said she had no information on the incident.
