Among those killed is a head of a family, Timothy Emberga Akwa, his two sons, Innocent Akwa, Terhemba Emberga Akwa, and an in-law identified as Orban.
Wife of the deceased Terhemba Emberga, Veronica, sustained bullet wounds in her waist and foot in the process of running for safety with her infant.
She said they were already sleeping when suddenly the gunmen struck at her father-in-law’s compound and opened gunfire on everyone inside, causing them to scamper to safety.
A witness, Helen Waku, told our correspondent that as soon as gunshots rented the air in the community at exactly 11:14 pm, she ran with her five children and hid in the bush.
He said the attack which took place at about 11 pm on Friday, led to the death of the head and some members of the Akwa family – Mr Emberga Akwa, Innocent Akwa, Terhemba Akwa and an in-law identified as Orban. Condemning the act, Ortom recalled that a few weeks ago, herders came without cattle and killed a husband and wife at Tse-Tyohemba, in the same axis of Makurdi, saying that security agents trailed and apprehended three of the assailants. He explained that seven persons were also injured and are at the Benue State Teaching Hospital (BUSTH), Makurdi, undergoing treatment. The governor said the security operatives are doing their best, adding that his administration will restrategise to mitigate the new pattern of attacks on the people.
