The Nigerian Police Force has denied reports that 81 people were killed by Fulani herdsmen in Benue State.
The denial was made by the Benue State Police Command via a statement released today, July 12, 2016.
The statement reads in part:
“The attention of the Benue State Police Command has been drawn to a publication on page 8 of the Sun Newspaper, dated Monday, July 11, 2016, tagged "Herdsmen kill 81 in Benue".”
“The Command wishes to state that the reports was a gross misrepresentation of the true facts on ground in the State.”
