“The recent attack by Fulani herdsmen is so disheartening and inhumane to behold, as the level at which properties were destroyed and lives maimed is barbaric,” Okpe said. “I wonder and imagine why humans will be unkind to their fellow humans to this extent. Security agencies need to do more to curtail this level of incessant attacks on Christian communities.”

ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed two Christians in central Nigeria on Wednesday (May 7) after killing 10 others in the same area the previous month, sources said.

The herdsmen killed two Christian farmers in Otabi-Alpa village, in Benue state’s Otukpo County, said Marvis Ejeh, a member of the Agatu Local Government Council; the two Christians were from Agatu County, though their farms are in Otukpo County, he said.

One of the slain Christians was Tony Adejoh, village head of predominantly Christian Odugbeho community, and Ejeh identified the other victim as Jerry John.

“Both were working on their farms in the Otobi-Akpa when they were ambushed and killed by armed herdsmen,” Eneh told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News.
