Several persons are feared dead and many others injured following a deadly attack by suspected herdsmen on Agan community in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
Sources said the attackers stormed the community around 6 pm on Thursday, shooting sporadically and setting houses ablaze.
Agan is located just a few minutes from Makurdi.
As the attack persisted without any security intervention, residents were forced to flee for their lives.
