Agbenema is in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State.

Also, the houses of former chairman, Adofu Stephen; and that of his parents were burnt.

Residents said  soldiers who were drafted to curtail the herdsmen’s rampage allegedly refused to assist them to repel the suspected herdsmen.

“We were surprised when we approached the soldiers who were stationed at the Guest House at Abejukolo for assistance.

“They refused to act professionally, as they used their vehicle to block us from advancing to the troubled spot to help our people.

“They have razed down Ojuwo Ajomayeigbi, Iyade, Agbenema and Opada villages.

“We want the world to come to our assistance before they exterminate and inherit our land.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the state command said he was yet to be briefed by the DPO in Omala.

He promised to get back with details.

The blood shed in Nigeria is really alarming. Human lives is not refrenced again.

Naija wic way na

The military wont respond to distress call except in the event of attacks against herdsmen

Iam saddened by the quietness of everyone; one day it may be your turn or mine. We all need to lalastically rise to say no to violence

Nigeria is at war! It is only yet to be declared officially. These herders perpetrate evil with cheer impunity and arrogance, parading their guns and swords in the face of the law. Yet they go free. They kill us, yet we should treat them as our brothers and tap on their shoulder with a smile when they destroy our crops. A government cannot be more insincere and insensitive to its people than what we see in this herders vs farmers crisis. They and their cows are more important than Nigerians after all, they are only yet to say that to press!

Naija is at war

Lordspicy:
Naija is at war

May the Lord give us peace

Dino and Yayaha have not seen this oooo. May God protect the helpless.
