For the umpteenth time, suspected herdsmen, this time disguised in military uniforms, were reported to have invaded yet another community in the North-central geopolitical zone, killing no fewer than 25 persons in the process.
The latest attacks, which took place in the Oganienugwu and Ikende communities in Dekina Local Government Area and Abejukolo in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, came two years after a similar onslaught, when sectarian violence led to the death of four herders and an unspecified number of their livestock.
In the attack, the herdsmen were said to have fled from Benue State, where they were being overwhelmed by the security forces.
