2 policemen, 4 others killed in gun battle with herdsmen in Benue

NO fewer than six persons were feared dead, weekend, in a heavy gun battle between officers of Benue State Police Command and over 200 herdsmen at Yogbo community in Guma Local Government Area of the state.

Vanguard reliably gathered that the suspected herdsmen had attacked and set many houses and farm produce ablaze in the community, before being confronted by the Police drafted to maintain peace and security
in the community.

Vanguard gathered that the
entire Yogbo community has been deserted by the locals for fear of being killed by the rampaging herdsmen.

Confirming the development, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu, in a statement yesterday, said: “The
Police officers deployed to
Yogbo community came under
serious attack by heavily-armed militia group numbering about 200.

“Our Police team braced up to the challenge and engaged them in a gun battle.
Three of the militants died in the battle,
but their corpses were taken away by their fleeing members, some of who suffered severe gunshot wounds.

“Sadly, however, the Police lost one non-commissioned officer,while another one is yet to be seen.

One other person whose
identity is yet to be
ascertained, but believed to be a resident of the area, also died.
