A young farmer is in critical condition after being attacked by suspected armed Fulani herdsmen at Tse-Iordye in Ndzorov Council Ward, Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.
The victim, who was working on his farm during the assault, suffered life-threatening injuries, including an amputated finger, severed veins from deep arm cuts, and multiple head wounds. Medical officials attending to him said his chances of survival were “50-50.”
He was first taken to the police divisional headquarters in Gbajimba before being moved to a hospital, where doctors are struggling to stabilize him.
Residents have appealed to both the state and federal governments to urgently step in and halt the recurring violence, which has led to repeated killings and mass displacement in the area.
