Many people have been killed in several communities of Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State after suspected herders launched attacks on the areas.
Witnesses said many people were still missing some with gun shot wounds on several inhabitants and burnt houses.
A local said the attacks began barely a week ago and escalated during the weekend to other parts of Kwande LGA, including Moon, Mbaikyor, Mbadura and Ilyav council wards.
But the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) said there was a recent confrontation between herders and local guards in the affected areas over confiscation of livestock.
