Suspected Fulani gunmen, early Friday morning, invaded Agojeju-Odo, a community in Omala Local Government Council in Kogi East Senatorial District, killing scores.
It was gathered that the marauders who are fully armed surrounded the community and opened fire, killing and burning houses as twenty seven corpses have been reportedly recovered, while some local vigilante men have moved into the bush looking for missing persons.
Speaking with Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Ovye Aya, he confirmed the attack, but said the Commissioner of Police immediately drafted the tactical squad to the scene to restore normalcy.
Although the Police Spokesman could not confirm the figure of dead persons, he promised to get back after speaking with the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Omala Local Government Council.
