The Dare Devil Fulani Bandits on Tuesday launched  deadly attack on the Ajokpachi Odo Community in Omala LGA of Kogi state killing no fewer than three persons, and cart away Motorbikes, foodstuffs while scores  missing.
This deadly attack occured barely fortnight ago after the same bandits massacred over 25 people in the neighbouring Community of Agojeju Odo .
The attack was said to have occurred when the Youths in the area on surveillance mission were ambushed and killed  by the suspected Fulani Bandits.
According to the locals , the fulani militia who have been engaging in fierce battle with the Agatus for over a week now were relocating when they met the   youths who were holding brief meeting in Ajokpachi Odo and in an exchange of fire , one Musa Sule, from Ajokpachi Odo , one  from Bagaji Odo and another one from Ajomachi, a borderline village in Benue state were killed while many others  still missing.
According to a Community Leader , Nifu Abuka, who spent all night in the bush for his life  as a result of the incident, said, since  the ugly attack on  Agojeju Odo, his people have been sleeping with one eye closed.
He added that the porous and  lack of security presence in the area has made them vulnerable to incessant Fulani attacks and called on relevant government agencies to come to their rescue.
He said, the age long  feud between Agatu and Fulani in Benue and Nasarawa states have made his community, which share boundary with Agatu in Benue state -susceptible to attack.
He called on the Federal Government and  state Government to urgently deploy permanent Security outfits to the communities to save them from unsolicited deaths in the hands of the hoodlums who have taken over their farms and the  deserted  villages
