Gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have killed no fewer than 32 persons in Nasarawa State.
The killings took place between Saturday and Sunday across several villages.
Areas affected by the attack included Awe, Keana, Obi and Doma Local Government Areas.
Villagers fleeing from the attack, which the spokesman of the Nasarawa State Police Command, Kennedy Idirisu, said was yet to abate by Monday morning, were reportedly seen in different parts of the state capital, Lafia, taking refuge.
Idirisu said: “There was an attack on Monday morning, but the command has yet to receive details as regards the number of people that lost their lives in the early hour attacks by unknown gunmen.”
