Herdsmen invade Kogi community, kill 10 farmers

Ten persons have been declared dead in Ogabifo, Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State when herdsmen invaded the farming community on Friday.
The invaders, described as herdsmen, were armed with several weapons, including AK47.
The invaders were said to have set several houses and farmlands ablaze, leaving many injured.
The attack was said to have been preceded by the invasion of a farmland in the community by the herdsmen and their cattle, who destroyed the crops there.
The resistance of further destruction of the farm led to the attack by the herdsmen.
The spokesman of the Kogi State Police Command, William Aya, confirmed the development.
Aya, however, said only two persons were killed.
He said: “I can confirm that two people were killed by unknown gunmen.”
He said the Commissioner of Police, Ali Janga, had ordered “full investigations” into the killings.
