Residents of Gbeji, Tse Akaanya and Tse Hiityo where Fulani herdsmen invaded last week Wednesday and Thursday, killed more than 50 people and destroyed properties worth millions of naira have accused the Nigerian Army of colluding and leading the Fulani militias to attack their villages.

Narrating their ordeal before the Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Prof. Tersoo Kpelai who took a team of journalists to the communities to asses the level of destruction and commiserate with the families, Mr. Sunday Kulegwa and Iortaver Idye (the most elderly person in Gbeji town) all pointed accusing fingers on the army noting that army personnel using official vehicles were not only spotted on the scene of the attacks with the invaders but also participated in the shooting and killing of innocent people.

Similarly, in Tse Akaanya and Tse Hiityo all in Lumbuv council ward, Hon. Timothy Iorfa, Councilor representing Lumbuv ward, Austin Damsa and Terkaa Agera who witnessed the attack maintained that, men of the Nigerian Army in their personnel carriers and other army utility vehicles mounted with launchers and other sophisticated weapons were seeing shooting and killing people why the Fulani militias followed the troops burning houses and carting away with other valuables.

Reacting, Commissioner for Industry, Trade and Investment, Prof. Tersoo Kpelai condoles the family of the deceased saying it is worrisome that innocent people are attacked and killed in their ancestral homes without any slightest provocation and promised to liaise with the appropriate authorities to investigate allegations of military involvement in the attacks.

Prof. Kpelai also assured the communities that he will meet with the Executive Secretary, Benue State Emergency Management Agency to discus the way forward and see if Government will come to the aide of the displaced.

NA conniving with herdsmen to carry out an attack? Confusion everywhere in Nigeria

They collude with Herdsmen. They Nigerian Army.

No pity for them sha.

Is this what Naija Army has turned to? Save naija with ur vote come 2019.

how true is it?

Sooo true

Military Uniforms can be used by those savages. Bokoharam also use Lafiya Dole Uniforms

Soldiers led buhari foot soldiers to kill Nigerians

let me report the matter to lalasticlala

this one weak me o

There is a serious campaign of calumny against the Nigerian Army sponsored by some useles unpatriotic politicians in the opposition, who are bent on making the President because he is Fulani look sympathetic to killer militias sponsored by the same group.

Time will tell

Absolutely not true.

The Fulani usually hire mercenaries to do this dirty work and they are masters of war.

I very much suspect that the mercenaries most likely work in collaboration with rogue elements in the army to perpetuate these crimes.

The army is well structured and mixed tribally so it is hard to believe the army can successfully collude with these Fulani murderers

lie

Naija

post photos of NA doing the shootings or I don't believe it.. simple

Taraba accused them, now Benue. This must be true

God bless GEJ

never heard of fulani herdsmen during his time as president

These fulani herdsmen are they not humans like us

Y can't d governor do something about dese guys cos this is getting out of hand.

If our own soldiers could do this then It is finished Naija!!! Which way

TY Danjuma must hear this

Benue people are hellbent on squeezing every last ounce of political juice out of their predicament.

Later they'll ask for the same NA to save them.

Y do i think dis is funani herdmen/boko haram dressed in army uniform?

If after all these atrocities,lies,bigotry,seeds of hatred being planted in once brotherly neighbours,and severe economic hardship,you still want Buhari for a second term,you must begin to question your sanity.

Is this not the Benue people that massacre Igbos to please their Fulani masters? What can I say if not that they should suck it up.

Over to you Nigerian Army. Oya come and defend yourself ooo. They said they saw you...

T Y Danjuma in my mind

hmmm.....

Achebe saw it long time ago.

indeed, there was a country

Imagine
