3 Villages Displaced As Many Are Feared Dead

  In less than 48 hours after the South-East Governors Forum announced formation of its regional security outfit, EbubeAgu, some Ebonyi villages were again in focus yesterday as many people were feared killed, following an attack allegedly carried out by some assailants on the villages at Ngbo in Ohaukwu Local Government Area. But the state government controverted survivors of the attack who claimed many people died, saying only four persons lost their lives.  The latest attack came just two weeks after more than 27 persons were killed in four communities in the state by suspected herdsmen. While the state government attributed yesterday’s attack to indigenes of Agila community in Benue State, villagers in Ngbo community who spoke to newsmen, described them as herdsmen.
