Several people have been killed while many others remain missing after suspected herdsmen carried out a deadly attack on Ojantele, a community located along the Abuja–Otukpo road.
The gunmen reportedly invaded the area on Friday, opening fire on residents and leaving more than 20 people dead, with several others still unaccounted for.
Chairman of Apa Local Government Area, Adams Ogwola, who confirmed the incident on Friday afternoon, said the exact number of casualties could not be determined at the time.
