Following a series of attacks and killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen, the residents of Olena in Asa community, Otukpo Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State, have fled their homes.

The source recalls that the community has been under siege for the past four days, with several people killed and many others abducted.

A resident who spoke under the guise of anonymity confirmed that villagers were forced to flee their homes on Monday night, March 30, after realizing that no help was coming.

The resident, who is now seeking refuge in a neighboring community, Upu, described the situation as dire.

“I escaped with my family last night. At the moment, we have all vacated our community. Olena has been under attack for days now.
