Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen have killed two persons and carted away four motorcycles in Igwuma community, Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.
It was gathered that the attack occurred in the early hours of Friday, throwing residents into panic.
Eyewitnesses said the armed men invaded the community and shot sporadically, forcing villagers to flee for safety.
Two victims of the attack were later identified as Mr. Yusuf Onuminya and Mr. Ochopefu Ochoweche, both of Igwuma community.
Community members also reported that four motorcycles were stolen during the invasion, although no houses were destroyed.
Normalcy has since returned to the area, but residents expressed fear of further attacks.
