Suspected Fulani herdsmen killed at least 37 people and injured several others Shikaan Mbagena Kpav, a TIV community in Benue State, May 27.
The Daily Page learnt that the attack was carried in the early hours of Thursday, and the motive behind the attack remains unclear.
Tweeps on micro-blogging platform Twitter are calling the government for immediate assistance as the death toll could rise over the coming days.
Nigerians are retweeting a hashtag, #BenueUnderAttack, and @Renoomokri wrote, “Except Benue gets their own Sunday Igboho, these almost daily attacks that have characterised #BenueUnderAttack will continue to happen. If Benue people clash with cows, General @MBuhari will ALWAYS side with cows. Benue needs an Igboho that will side with them”
