Suspected Fulani herdsmen have abducted passengers travelling on Benue Links bus to Otukpo en route Naka road Gwer West LGA at Tyolaha village.
One passenger was killed and several others were injured during the attack by the marauders.
It was gathered that the latest attack was not the first time marauding herdsmen had carried out such gruesome attacks on passengers along the dilapidated road.
Tyolaha village has been a hotspot for persistent attacks by suspected Fulani Herdsmen.
The herdsmen who were almost 15 in number countered any resistance which caused them to escape with ease.
These incessant attacks had caused most residents to flee and farmers to relocate from that part of the road while the remnants call on the government and security operatives for protection.
Benue Police Public Relations Officer, Anekwe Catherine, who confirmed the incident said “a bus belonging to Benue Links which was heading to Otukpo was attacked by unknown gunmen and three persons including women were wounded and one person died this morning.”
