Late Gana Associates Attack People, Destroy Houses In Benue Community.
Bandits suspected to be close allies to Terwase Akwaza known as Gana, the late Benue terrorist leader, at the weekend stormed Dyom village near Senga community in Katsina-Alla local government area of the state and attacked about three people.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that the late Gana loyalists who were reported to be in military camouflage were said to have burnt down some houses during the attack.
This online news platform understands that the Special Adviser to the governor on Security, Col. Paul Hemba (rtd), disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Makurdi, the Benue State capital on Sunday, January 17.
Hemba, however, said that the troops of Operation Whirl Stroke who promptly swung to action arrested two of the bandits.
Hemba said the gunmen had sneaked into the village, shot sporadically and burnt people’s houses.
“These were armed men in military camouflage said to be loyalists of the late Gana. They stormed the area, shot at three persons and also burnt down houses in the community.
