He said, “The incident happened around 4pm. The herders were two but one escaped the attack. We have reported the case to the DPO of Bassa LGA Police Headquarters.
“There is no justification in the killing because the deceased was just rearing the cattle. What has he done to deserve the killing? We can’t continue to be tolerating this kind of dastardly act. We are calling on security agencies to act past to arrest the perpetrators of the act.”
