Over 50 communities across five local government areas in Benue State have been sacked by armed herdsmen, according to the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).
The report, released amidst renewed attacks in Ukum, Logo, Otukpo, and Gwer East LGAs, shows widespread displacement. Gwer West is the worst hit, alongside communities in Guma, Makurdi, and Kwande LGAs.
Thousands have fled to IDP camps, with many displaced for over eight years.
Reacting, President of Mdzou U Tiv Worldwide, Iorbee Ihagh, lamented the destruction and called for urgent federal intervention.
