Gunmen kill 2 in Benue

Gunmen have reportedly killed two people in Ortese village of Guma Local Government Area in Benue State.

Witnesses said the people were killed on Sunday after the armed invaders unleashed terror on the rural vicinity.

The latest killing, our correspondent gathered, happened in the same community where over five persons were killed on Friday, which propelled a mass protest by women and youths of the affected place.

The Guma LGA Security Adviser, Christopher Waku, confirmed the killings of the two persons by suspected armed herders.
