Troops Raid Militia’s Shrine In Benue, Arrest Chief Priest by AnotherZik: 9:55pm On Jan 30, 2018
Troops of 707 Special Forces Brigade, Nigerian Army, on Monday raided the shrine and suspected hideout of a notorious witch doctor, Mr. Tordue Gber (Tiv Swem), who acts as spiritual adviser to wanted armed criminal militias at Tor-Dunga town, Katsina-Ala Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state.

During the operation, the soldiers succeeded in arresting the occupant, Gber (Tiv Swem), who is an ally of the wanted notorious criminal, Akwazar Terwase (alias Gana), who was declared wanted by the security agencies and has been at large since 2016.

According to a statement issued on Tuesday bythe Army spokesman, Sani Usman, preliminary investigation shows that “Tiv Swem acts as spiritual counselor that provides Gana with “diabolical” powers and the shrine serves as hideout for wanted armed militia, meeting and planning point for operations and logistics base for the criminal armed militias that operate in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba States”.

They are using the Nigerian army to attack tiv militia who are trying to defend themselves against Fulani herdsmen. Instead of the army to go after the Fulani terrorists that have been on rampage in Benue state.

Nice step

They are just trying to weaken any potential threats to the herdsmen. Why have they not found out the hideouts of the Fulani herdsmen or arrest those sponsoring them. We are not only fighting the herdsmen, we are also fighting the military and the police that is shielding them.
