John Charles, MakurdiPersons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have killed two people along the Naka/Makurdi Road. The incident was said to have occurred on Tuesday while the deceased were returning from the burial of the Catholic priests and 17 parishioners killed by herdsmen earlier in the week. Naka/Makurdi road, which is a federal road, has been abandoned for a long time due to the activities of herdsmen along the federal highway. A native who spoke to our correspondent said, “The two men were returning from the burial of the Catholic priests and the parishioners when they were attacked by herdsmen. Just on Tuesday, two people returning from the burial were killed along Naka/Makurdi road,” Ortom told his visitor.
