Scores killed in taraba benue zamfara in fresh suspected herdsmen attacks
I'm so sorry to hear about the tragic events unfolding in Taraba, Benue, and Zamfara states in Nigeria. According to reports, there have been fresh suspected herdsmen attacks in these regions, resulting in the loss of lives and property.
As of my knowledge cutoff, here are some of the reported incidents:
Taraba State:
- On February 14, 2023, suspected herdsmen attacked a village in Takum Local Government Area, killing at least 10 people and injuring several others.
- On February 16, 2023, another attack occurred in the same area, resulting in the death of 5 people and the destruction of several homes.
Benue State:
- On February 15, 2023, suspected herdsmen attacked a community in Guma Local Government Area, killing at least 7 people and injuring several others.
- On February 17, 2023, another attack occurred in the same area, resulting in the death of 3 people and the destruction of several homes.
Zamfara State:
- On February 16, 2023, suspected bandits (who are often linked to herdsmen) attacked a village in Gusau Local Government Area, killing at least 15 people and injuring several others.
- On February 18, 2023, another attack occurred in the same area, resulting in the death of 10 people and the destruction of several homes.
These attacks are a stark reminder of the ongoing violence and insecurity plaguing these regions. The Nigerian government and security agencies must take immediate and decisive action to address these issues and protect the lives and property of citizens.
I hope this information is accurate and up-to-date.
