Three persons have been reportedly killed by suspected armed herdsmen in an ambush on the busy Makurdi-Lafia road around Ortese in Guma Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state.
According to him, “on the first day which was Thursday evening, the armed herdsmen come out to the Makurdi-Lafia road near where you have the NYSC farm and shot three persons. “We are scared that they might take over the road again on Saturday if security is not beefed up around that axis. Those killed were not travelers on the busy road. But they might be targeting travelers on that busy road.
