At least 14 killed in attack in Nigeria’s Benue state: Officials
At least 14 villagers were killed and several others injured in an attack in Nigeria’s Benue state on Tuesday, a local official said, extending a cycle of violence in the country’s central belt linked to land and resource disputes.
The latest attack occurred in Efeyi village in Benue state’s Otukpo area early on Tuesday, with gunmen killing 14 people and wounded several others, Otukpo council chairman Maxwell Ogiri told Reuters.
Ogiri blamed the attack on Fulani militia, saying the assailants struck without warning and that similar incidents had occurred in nearby communities in recent days.
