Heavily armed gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen Monday invaded six communities in the homestead of immediate past governor of Benue State, Dr. Gabriel Suswam leaving at least 10 people dead and over 25 houses burnt down to ashes.

Monday’s attack came barely few hours to the dedication of the state to God by Governor Samuel Ortom over the poor security situation in the state organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in conjunction with the state government, and saw hundreds of people including women and children displaced.

‘New Telegraph’ learnt that the killers stormed the villages in the early hours and started shooting sporadically during which 10 people were massacred.

The former Special Adviser to the ex-governor on Media and Publicity, Chief Joseph Anawan who is also an indigene of the area, told ‘New Telegraph’ that corpses of the deceased persons have been deposited at the morgue at NKST Health Centre at Anyiin, headquarters of Logo Local Government Area of the state.

One of the villages that was first attacked according to Chief Anawa was the Tse Ikyoor located along Anyiin-Wukari road, saying attempts by him and other farmers to access their village proved abortive as the herdsmen were still on rampage.

Baba why are you SILENT?

systematic genocide and ethnic cleansing is taking place in omenka 's town!! yet the whole Nigerian army is bombarding Niger delta and killing innocent protesters!! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!

again? when will these punks stop

Nigeria is gradually slipping into another civil war and our president is taking it with kids gloves. Heavy equipment have been deployed to the Nigeria Delta creeks to protect investments while these demons demons are left alone to keep slaughtering people.

Let the clown of governor keep fasting and praying (I"m not against those mind you) rather than taking decisive and mannish action agaisnt the mauraders.

By the time fulani herdsmen finish totally anihilating his people while waiting for Buhari to curb them, he would have no one to govern except his rice and cassava farms

Libyan herdsmen not Fulani. Op make the correction to avoid DSS visit.

And some people will come here to spew trash in support of the fantastic dullard

The incompetent governor said "God is angry with Benue state".

Meanwhile Omenka is busy on Niger Delta threads while Fulanis run amok in his state.
