Fulani terrorists carried out an attack on Mbapa in Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State on Saturday evening.
At least four people lost their lives in the incident, and search teams continue to look for several others who remain missing.
One survivor lies unconscious while many families fled into the surrounding bushes for safety.
Residents describe scenes of panic as people ran to escape the violence.
Some returned later to check on loved ones, only to find homes empty or damaged.
Community leaders have started efforts to locate the missing and support those who now have nowhere to stay.
This event comes after similar incidents in nearby areas of Gwer West and Gwer East earlier this month.

Security forces usually step up operations in such cases, but details on any immediate response remain unclear.
Governor Hyacinth Alia has spoken out against such violence in the past and called for stronger protection for communities.
Many residents hope authorities will act quickly to restore calm and prevent further harm.
As searches continue, families wait for news about their relatives.
The situation highlights the ongoing challenges that affect daily life for people living in parts of Benue State.
