Men armed with assorted weapons Thursday reportedly invaded
Abaji Market in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area of Benue State, killing five
persons and leaving scores with various degrees of injuries.
The attack came barely three weeks after unknown armed men
invaded the popular Zaki Biam International Yam Market, killing several
persons, injuring many and razing many shops, houses, and leaving behind heaps
of burnt yam tubers.
The attack also defiled the Special Forces from the Force
Headquarters deployed to the axis to stem the wanton killings in Benue
North-East senatorial district.
