The Benue Prisons Service on Monday confirmed that herdsmen invaded its Jato-Aka Farm Centre and killed an inmate, one Tersoo Agidi.

ASP Stephen Nwanchor, Public Relations Officer, Benue Prisons Service, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Makurdi that the incident took place on Saturday at the farm centre.

Nwanchor said that the invasion was not a failed jail break attempt.

“This is a new farm centre established in January, 2017. The herdsmen invaded the place, destroyed property, shot and killed one Tersoo Agidi, an inmate.

“We have evacuated all the remaining inmates from the farm centre to Gboko, pending the outcome of the investigation.

“We are not taking anything for granted. My Controller of Prison is on top of the issue, and all relevant security operatives in the state have been notified,” Nwanchor said.

The PRO said the service was investigating the invasion to ascertain the remote cause, noting that no arrest had been made so far.

Nwanchor said the service had tightened security in and around all its facilities in the state, assuring that there was no cause for alarm.

Herdsmen attack had been on increase in the last twelve months especially in the North central states.

I hope the person wasn't awaiting trial because that'd mean a potentially innocent person has been murdered.

If nothing drastic and urgent is not done to check the over bearing excesses of these so called Fulani herdsmen, we may not have people who see Benue state as their ancestral home within the shortest possible time. I think there is a deliberate plan to annihilate the people of Benue and the federal and state government are not doing much to curtail it.

This is genocide.


#SAYNOTOBENUEGENOCIDE.....

Too bad, but if you need extra source of income to combat recession see my signature.

Omenka where are you? It seems to me like Benue state has become a target practice area for this Fula guys.
This is where you expect people like Omenka to make their own contribution but NO!!! you won't see them, they prefer to salivate and masturbate over anything that has to do the Igbo.
See how ndi anumanu are having a field day and acting with all impunity to do point of going to assassinate a target in prison!!! There was indeed a country.

we are watching

Why is my country so unstable, somebody cannot be safe in nigeria again, ever

Madness everywhere in this country and Bubu is busy doing nothing

Ortom Will Instead Of Securing Benue, Attack Wike Who's Just As Concerned As Every Other Nigerian.

Worthless state, indomie filled brain Governor

I'm speechless.
How did we get to this level? Herdsmen can now invade a prison to carry out reprisal attack.
Apparently, States government house of are no longer safe.

I blame the governor
Let him ask boda Fayose how to curtail these demons

Benue again

If I tell you I no tire for this country, I lie. Just saddening that these killings go unabated. In UK four ppl were killed the whole world heard of it but in Nigeria ppl are killed like chicken nobody talks

Wike no lie sha. Assuming I no dey respect elders, I for say Benue governor na I.diot mumu.

But if it is a clash between the Idomas and the heards men now, like 30 of the Idomas would have been arrested.
As usual, no arrest has been made and am very sure none will be made. There really was a country.

Na waooo

And what will this apc government do? Yes, they will do nothing!! Fulani herdsmen rules!! They have the license to enter anywhere in Nigeria and kill anybody and nothing will have!!! What an incompetent government!!!

It is not funny oo

waiting for the idiot governor and Police Commissioner to exonerate herdsmen.yeye

Nah so dem warn our former president about Bokoharam before dem turn into what they are now.... I just don't understand why Buhari is taking the issue of the herdsmen lightly.

I blame the governor
