Tension has gripped Yelwata community in Benue State after gunmen reportedly people in the early hours of Monday.
Eyewitnesses said the renewed attack triggered a protest by local women, who took to the streets demanding that soldiers stationed in the area be withdrawn to their barracks.
The aggrieved residents also called for immediate transportation to Makurdi, insisting they no longer feel safe in the community.
“They should take us to Makurdi because the government cannot protect us,” one protester said.
The attack is coming barely two months after gunmen, believed to be herders, on June 13, stormed the community and killed between 200 people, including internally displaced persons, with many burned alive during a night of brutal violence.
