It was gathered that the attackers
invaded the town around 6:32 pm on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
Several others reportedly sustained varying
degrees of injuries, while many people were reported missing as of the time of
filing this report.
A community leader from Anyiin, Joseph
Anawah, who confirmed the incident to the punch on
Thursday, said that the suspected bandits, numbering over 20 and heavily armed,
carried out an operation that lasted three hours.
“Terrorists yesterday, Wednesday, October
30, 2024, unleashed terror on Anyiin town, Logo LGA of Benue State, in an
operation that started around 6:32 pm, leaving over 15 people dead, some with
injuries, and others missing,” he said.
Among those k!lled in the gruesome attack
are a retired primary school supervisor, Orihundu Ati, and the son of the
Kindred Head of Mbawuave, Zaki Mbatern.
He listed include the son of the former
Chief of Staff to the former Logo local government chairman, Tordoo Suswam,
(pictured) and the son of Mr Uyange Chembe, the younger brother of the late
District Head of Ukemberagya, Zaki John Chembe.
Anawah, a former aide to the former
governor of the state, Gabriel Suswam, said the large number of invaders
overwhelmed the security operatives stationed in the town.
While noting that Wednesday’s attack was
the second in October, Anawah called on the state government to collaborate
with the Federal Government to provide maximum security in the area.
