A three-month-old baby and 12 adults have been reportedly shot dead by gunmen in separate incidents in some villages of the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.

The gunmen were said to have opened fire on travellers on Uikpam – Umenger road around 3pm on Tuesday, where five people, including the infant, lost their lives.

It was learnt that the remaining eight people were killed at Branch Ude at 10pm on the same day

The Local Government Council Chairman of Guma, Caleb Aba, who confirmed the incident to Daily Trust, noted that there was a burial in Torkula and people who were coming back from the burial came under attack

“It is true that there was an attack yesterday (Tuesday). There was a burial in Torkula and people who were coming back from the burial came under attack and about five people were killed

“At about 10pm, yesterday there was another attack at Branch Ude where about eight people were killed, bringing the total to 13 people killed only yesterday

“Two people were injured by the information I received and they are now receiving treatment in the hospital.

A source disclosed that he was forced to turn his vehicle back to Makurdi, when he observed that the vehicle in front of him was fired at severally, on his way to Umenger for a political meeting with some friends

He said the driver of the vehicle dodged the bullets and sped off to a safer location

“The herdsmen blocked the road, and opened fire on a Toyota Picnic, killing a 3 month-old baby who was shot in the chest, and his mother was shot on her lap

“My colleague, who was directly behind the Toyota Picnic on seeing the herders shot at the car in front of him, turned and returned to Uikpam

“The herders didn’t stop there, a certain Terver from Uvir, who was conveying his wife, had their life taken from them. A certain Solomon Kumaiin was butchered by the killers

“The body of Terver and his wife were immediately taken to a mortuary in Daudu, while the injured were brought to BSUTH for treatment,” he narrated

The Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Catherine Anene, said she was yet to receive reports about the incident. ......”.....the incident.

We are gradually getting used to this kind of bad news under a quota system general.

Mark my words by 2050 they will nothing like idoma ,tivi or igede they will be killed in Thousands and the rest will be forced to flee the ancestral land to foriegn lands ,Igboland should be blocked the dot nation is too small to accommodate refugees.

Hmm,according to the presidency,they are just a bunch of "economic criminals" , unlike ipob and igboho.

This is a communal clash. What's wrong with Sahara reporters? Many communities are in constant tension and some go ahead to recruit machineries from Taraba and other neighboring states.
This was the business Gana was into before he was murdered by the military when he became intolerable.

Funny enough, where this incident occurred is Governor Ortom's hometown o. Such a failure called governor. He has the security of his state under his command but keep pointing fingers at someone in far away Abuja .

Only God knows what Benue state has done wrong to him that he chose to give them useless leaders like Gabriel Suswam and Samuel Ortom respectively

I thought Buhari said people should not be reporting this kind of news?
God bless SR

herdsmen terrorist on rampage. Who will save benue people now.

What is really happening in this country those herdsmen are always on rampage whenever Ortom criticize this government, anytime tambuwa criticize this government they always attack sokoto state The same thing with makinde. once makinde do something good for Oyo state people and announced it something terrible will happen in Oyo state. Is it that they don't want anybody to criticize this government again even when they are not doing well.

Bia you this fulani terrorists sympathizer, ain't you ashamed of yourself??

It's now a communal clash because fulani terrorists are involved not IPOB
Why do you always protect the interest of known terrorists??

Let it be known to you that you can't decieve us we all know this was never a communal clash it's not today that your terrorists masters started killing people in benue.
