Six people including two soldiers have been confirmed killed during Tuesday’s attack on Egwuma community in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State by armed men suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.

According to an eyewitness, soldiers deployed to the area refused to respond to the invaders attack. The gunmen later attacked the soldiers’ base after attacking the community.

The eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, said the bandits took four of the soldiers’ motorcycles and killed two of them.

“The entire community has been deserted. There is nobody left behind again, except for the few soldiers that are remaining there.

“The caretaker committee chairman of Agatu LGC has drawn the attention of the state government to this attack and we are still waiting for them to do the needful so as to avert further attacks.

“The bandits had before now attacked this same community in the past and killed 12 people before soldiers were drafted to the area. I don’t know why they still came back to attack our people even with the presence of armed soldiers.

“This is a terrible situation; we need more presence of armed security personnel in the community. Nobody knows the mission of these invaders,” the eyewitness said.

Efforts to get reaction of the military on the incident were not successful.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations’ Office said in a text message, ‘I don’t have this report please’.
