Members of the House of Representatives were angry on Wednesday as a result of the failure of key stakeholders to attend an investigative hearing on the recent killings in Benue State by suspected Fulani herdsmen, particularly in Agatu villages.
At least 500 villagers were reportedly hacked to death by the invaders in Agatu in March. The attackers also razed many houses, resulting in more than 7,000 inhabitants being displaced from their ancestral land.
