Over six lives were lost on Monday after unknown gunmen invaded Utonkon village in Ado local government area of Benue State.
According to reports, many were also wounded from the attack while others were declared missing.
It's said that four gunmen stormed the community on motorbikes while some of the locals were busy sharing meat they had bought for the Christmas celebration and started shooting sporadically, sending citizens scampering for safety.
“The armed men at a point came down from their bikes and started moving from one compound to another as if they were searching for something or somebody, shooting at anything in sight including animals", an eyewitness said.
“Shortly after, they all mounted their bikes and fled", the person added.
However, the Benue State Police Command said two people died in the attack.
