No fewer than 30 people were feared killed with many sustaining varying degrees of injuries in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, after suspected Fulani herdsmen in their large numbers sacked over 24 communities and villages in the area.

Some of the affected communities included Chembe, Tse-Mue, Tse-Shigbe, Mgbakpa and Oragbai all in Ukemberagya council ward, which is four kilometers away from Anyiin, Governor Gabriel Suswam’s country home.

The crisis, according to eyewitness started on Sunday night after the marauders besieged the area, shooting sporadically and burning down houses, huts and farmlands in the affected communities.

Reports from villagers indicate that at the time of filing this report, more bodies were still being recovered in the affected areas after nine corpses were allegedly recovered at the scene of attack about one week ago.

Following the development, Governor Gabriel Suswam, who also hails from the area had to pay an unscheduled visit to the affected communities yesterday, even as it was observed that the communities had remained deserted following the massive destruction of houses, schools and worship centres by the Fulani herders.

Daily Sun gathered that villagers in the affected communities had to flee their homes into different directions for safety while the herdsmen have continued grazing hundreds of their cows in the vicinity.

Suswam, while addressing a remnant of the people, who came out from their hidings, said he was in the area in company of all heads of security agencies in the state to see things for himself and to leave behind a combination of security forces to tackle the trouble makers, even as he assured them of his administration’s commitment to ensure safety of lives and property.

Also speaking, the Commissioner of Police, Hyacinth Dagala, Commanding Officer of 72 Special Forces Battalion, Makurdi, Col. T. A Lagbaja and Deputy Director, State Security Services (SSS), Mr. Frank, advised the people not to take laws into their hands as they returned back to their homes and allow the security operatives to do their job.

Daily Sun, however, observed that many of the affected people no longer had homes to return to as the fresh invasion of their land, which is incidentally only four kilometres away from Suswam’s country home, Anyiin, had led to the destruction of everything they ever worked for including farm produce.

I don't blame them, iLay the blame on lord Luggard


The seed he planted is germinating and has been germinating since time immemorial. I wonder what he(if he is still alive) or perhaps his children might be feeling always hearing one part of the country causing Havoc for other Part..


~Why didn't he just pack his luggage and leave and NOT joining the two Protectorate together (North /South) ? I am pretty all these incessant and unprovoked killings here and there wouldn't have been.. iFeel very Riled up when iRemember his name lord Luggard

r u not just stupid? Re u not just a bas.tard? Oh u tink buhari doesnt know what his brothers are doing? He should call them to order fast!! He is a very influential member of the cattle rearing association! Btw who is our?? May ur prick not function today!.

Those Fulani cattle rearers are the most troublesome and the most dangerous people in Nigeria.

They take their cattle into farm lands and destroy hard working farmers' crops/plants. And when the farmers complain or raise alarm, they get killed.

If not for heartlessness, why will someone always derive pleasure in using his means of livelihood to destroy other people's livelihood?

I don't blame them tho. Its the Benue people I blame because if the Tiv alone (talk more other Benue tribes) should come together and fight these people, they will run for their lives but when some of them are being killed, other Tiv people living far away will say that its none of their business and that the ones being killed by Fulani people should settle their problems with them..

Buhari fulani people at it again.Buhari pls call your people to other after all you are their cow rearing patron

if he cannot control his people how can he control this nation.I am sure he has that bloody thristy gene elaborated on by the poster above me and he proved it during his traynnical brief rule that almost turned us into north korea and by all means he wants to do it again

Toktee, see your messiah's people killing your own people. Hope you're alive?
