LAFIA—No fewer than 15 people were feared killed in suspected fresh Fulani herdsmen attack on Kompany village in Lafia East Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, early Tuesday.

An eyewitness told Vanguard that the insurgents invaded the village at about 2a.m. and started shooting sporadically.

According to the witness, over 15 dead bodies, mainly women and children, were reco-vered as at yesterday, with many still missing.

Worried by this development and incessant killing of farmers and innocent citizens by the herdsmen, the state chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Yunana Iliya, yesterday appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to quickly intervene to stop the activities of the herdsmen from degenerating into another insurgency.
