Gunmen suspected to be herdsmen attacked and killed a farmer, Okeke Nkemjika in Amaeze community, Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
It was learned that the victim hails from neighbouring Lolopa community in Abia State but was based in the community.

“In the early hours of today, I got a call from the security officer at Yitter Quarry located at the former Setraco site at Umbro Ajanyim.
“He was complaining that he noticed the movement of five herdsmen with rifles and matchets along the farm area as he came out in the night to go round the company.”
