Over 150 suspected armed herdsmen have attacked Agojeju-odo in Bagaji-Odoh District of Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, killing four persons.

The lawmaker representing Omala State Constituency in the Kogi State House of Assembly, Hon. Umar Yahaya disclosed this on Wednesday in Lokoja shortly after submitting a report on the attack to Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo.

Yahaya, who condemned the incident, described the recent attack in his constituency as one too many.

According to the lawmaker, โ€œAt about 3:30 pm on Tuesday, the 30th of January 2024, the peaceful community of Agojeju-odo in Bagaji-Odoh District of Omala LGA was attacked by Fulani herdsmen numbering over 150.

โ€œThe militant herdsmen took the village by surprise and were shooting sporadically as they invaded the village in a broad daylight through the eastern part of the town.

โ€œDuring the attack, a sick woman who was on admission in a local private clinic (St. Peter Clinic) was slaughtered. Two men namely: Mr. Attai John Idagboyi and one Mr. Daniel Shuaibu were also gruesomely murdered.

โ€œThe remains of a man was also found butchered in the bush, bringing the total number of the dead to four. Thatโ€™s one woman and three men.

โ€œThey came in through Bagana in Omala LGA which borders the Agatu area of Benue and Umasha community in Nasarawa States.

โ€œThe Bagana community has been under attack for a long period now and some of our people have not been able to return home for many years now due to the incessant attacks by these Fulani herdsmen militants.โ€

He requested the governorโ€™s support in directing the State Commissioner of Police and other heads of Security Agencies to be deployed to provide armed security personnel to the affected area.

Continuing, Yahaya said, โ€œThe presence of military or armed personnel will scare the militants away pending further long term measures to prevent reoccurrence or possible solutions.โ€

He also appealed to the governor to direct the State Emergency Agency to provide relief materials to the victims in Bagana and Agojeju-Odo.
