Summary: Fresh attack in Benue State as gunmen invade Sai community in Katsina-Ala LGA, leaving scores dead. Get the details on this tragic event in Nigeria’s food basket.
Tears and sorrow have once again visited Benue State, the food basket of our nation. The news coming in this morning is just heartbreaking.
In what is becoming a painfully familiar story, gunmen launched a deadly attack in the early hours of the morning, leaving a trail of blood, tears, and fear.
According to reports from the ground, the attackers stormed Sai community in Mbajir Council Ward, right inside Katsina-Ala Local Government Area, when most people were still in their beds or just starting their day.
Sources say scores of innocent people were killed in the brutal assault. Imagine waking up not to the crow of the cock, but to the sound of gunshots and cries for help. That was the tragic reality for the people of Sai this morning.
While details are still coming in, fingers are being pointed at suspected armed herdsmen who descended on the community with pure violence. The peace of the village has been shattered, and families have been thrown into mourning.
This is one attack too many. For how long will our people in Benue and other affected parts of the country continue to live in fear on their own ancestral lands?
Our hearts and prayers are with the families who have lost their loved ones in this senseless violence. We pray for comfort for the bereaved and for the entire Sai community.
May the souls of the departed rest in perfect peace. Amen.
