Herdsmen Attack Nasarawa Communities, Kill 4

Armed men suspected to be herdsmen have killed at least four persons in a renewed attack on Uhime and Angyo communities at Dooka in Doma, Nasarawa state.

Speaking to newsmen, a resident of the area John Tyojembe said herdsmen invaded the communities in the early hours of Tuesday, shooting sporadically.

Tyojembe said apart from those killed, the herdsmen destroyed many houses and foodstuff.

He said survivors, mostly women and children, fled to Kadarko and Doma as well as neighbouring Benue state.

Tyojembe called on both the federal and the state governments to end the persistent attacks.

The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Idirisu Kennedy, could not be reached for comment.
