Un total de 24 personas fueron asesinadas por hombres armados en el estado de Benue, en el centro de Nigeria, en los últimos episodios de violencia hasta la fecha imputados a bandas armadas, dijeron el miércoles las autoridades locales.

"Presuntos pastores mataron a ocho personas en Mbadwem, en la zona de Guma, y a otras 16 en Tiortyu, en la zona de Tarka", indicó el portavoz de las autoridades locales Nathaniel Ikyur.

"Decenas de personas más resultaron heridas y están siendo tratadas en un hospital estatal", añadió Ikyur en un comunicado.
