Armed herders have invaded Uikpam community, beheaded a farmer in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.

It was gathered that the armed herders stormed the community at about 9:00am on Thursday morning and started shooting sporadically before capturing a farmer who was on his farm.

Former Special Assistant to former Benue State governor, Jimin Geoffrey, confirmed this ugly development to journalists on phone in Makurdi.

He said the bandits “also beheaded the victim and also cut off one of his hands and took it away”.

Benue State has been under intense attacks by armed herders, who have been causing chaos across the country.

Just a month ago, the armed herders launched attacked on Yelwata community in Guma LGA, killing over 200 persons and displaced several others.
