Mr. Perver Acham claims that “the herdsmen, numbering ten, attacked Tse Gamber in Sengev Council Ward in the early hours of Sunday, killing three persons and stealing one Iorhon Dam.”
According to the same source, three people were killed and several others were injured when an incident occurred on Sunday evening at Camp, Nagi, Mbachohon Council Ward, a village along the Naka-Agagbe route.
