As I speak, many people are still missing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another native, Akerigba, who spoke on the phone, said eight bodies had so far been recovered.<\/p>\n<p>He identified the names of recovered bodies that were severely mutilated to include Gbaeren Orsoo, Terdoo Tsega, Bemdoo Tsega, Abacha Tsega, Terkaa Tsega, A\u00f4ndoaseer Tyov, Iorhen Atim and A\u00f4ndowase Igba.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman of Kwande Local Government Area, Tartor Chianson, who confirmed the killing, said eight corpses had been recovered and taken to the morgue at Jato -Aka.<\/p>\n<p>Chianson stated, \u201cMy people went to their farm on Thursday because it rained on Wednesday night. So, they went to their farm to prepare the land for planting and they were ambushed and killed on their farms at Waya community close to Anwase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe herdsmen came a few days ago and set a lot of houses ablaze. They also kidnapped some other persons, took away their motorcycles and later brought their mutilated bodies and dumped them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll they are doing is just to collect our ancestral homes. As I speak with you, five council wards; Mbachura, Kumakwagh, Yaav, Moon and Mbaikyur, are under siege. Over 50 persons have lost their lives in the area in the last three months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, we have recovered eight bodies, but the fear of being attacked by the herdsmen who are still in the area has not made it possible for us to go farther to see if we can recover more corpses. The corpses have been deposited at the morgue in Jato-Aka.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Gwer West, a native who identified herself as Mrs Tsegba, said, \u201cThe suspected Fulani herders Thursday evening attacked two of our communities of Ikyande and Mbapa in Gwer West LGA of Benue State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I speak to you (Friday evening), 12 corpses have been recovered from the two villages and names of some of the corpses are Torhile Jir, Akura JoJo, Simon Shenge, Shenge\u2019s child, two of Nyitamen children, whose names have yet to be confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gwer West Chairman, Mrs Grace Igbabon, who confirmed the attack on the two communities declined to give the figure of casualties.<br \/>\nWhen contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Catherine Anene, said she had yet to receive any report from the two council areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have yet to receive any report from the two local government areas about the attack. At times, it takes a little time before we get information because of the terrain. Those communities are in the interior,\u201d Anene said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suspected herders killed 20 persons in a renewed onslaught on communities in two local government areas of Benue State.
