Gunmen Invade Idps Camp In Benue, Kill 7 by 3Ebisco: 7:20am On Apr 27, 2018
Seven internally displaced persons (IDPs) taking refuge at the African Church and LGEA Primary School, Mondo, were, yesterday, killed in Ukemberagya, Gaambe-Tiev, Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.

The latest attack is just two days after the killing of two Catholic priests and 17 parishioners in Mbalom, Gwer Local Government Area, and barely 24 hours after the murder of 37 persons in Guma on Wednesday.

A community leader in the area, Chief Joseph Anawah, told Daily Sun that the attackers stormed the area around 12:22am while the people were still sleeping. He said the victims were among those camped in African Church and LGEA Primary School, Mondo, after they were displaced from their homes by suspected herdsmen.

“At about 12:22am, gunshots were heard in the area that woke the people up, as they scampered for safety. In the process, seven of them were killed on the spot and several others are said to be missing. The marauders did not stop there, they went ahead to mount a roadblock along Wukari-Anyiin road and seized more than four motorcycles. As I speak with you, the area is completely deserted,” he said.

Chairman of the local government area, Mr. Richard Nyajo, who confirmed the report, said seven persons were killed.

Reacting to the incident, the acting governor, Engr. Benson Abounu, lamented that the state was under the siege of Fulani herdsmen from all corners. He urged the Federal Government as well as security chiefs to get to the root of the incessant killings, with a view to finding a lasting solution.

However, the police could not be reached at the time of this report as both the commissioner of police in the state, Fatai Owoseni, and the state’s police public relations officer, ASP Moses Yamu, did not pick their calls.

Invade a whole IDP Camp?


In Public Service and Public Administration there is

Misfeasance: "a transgression, especially the wrongful exercise of lawful authority."

Nonfeasence: "failure to perform an act that is required by law."

Malfeasance: "wrongdoing, especially (US) by a public official."


The last one has mal- (malice/evil) as a prefix, Nigerian Governments particularly THIS CURRENT ONE appear to act with MALICE/EVIL against its citizens (indeed not simply citizens but those to whom they ordinarily should render account)

Individuals can be sued in their personal capacity for any of the three infractions above (in line with the provisions of the Public Officers Protection Act) the caveat though is that Statute of Limitation is 3 Months!!



Etymology of Malfeasance: late 17th century: from Anglo-Norman French malfaisance, from mal- ‘evil’ + Old French faisance ‘activity’. Compare with misfeasance.

Is there anyone still in doubt that tribes from the middle belt are being systematically targeted for a certain reason?
I absolutely believe they want the people to abandon their lands. The killings isn't necessarily aimed at wiping off the entire indigenes. This is almost impossible. The full occupation of the land is what is being aimed at.
These people were not killed for confronting herdsmen in their farms. They were killed inside IDP camps! This is sending a strong message: you are not safe within the boundaries of your lands. Keep off permanently if you want to stay alive! That's the message.

A message that is covertly receiving support from an inept federal government that has not been seen to take decisive steps at curbing this perception.

But it baffles me how a group of armed bandits will invade a community, kill and razed down buildings and also leave without being confronted not challenged not even one of the attackers caught or killed!!!
And this locations are isolated with their own vigilant men armed with AK47.
Nigeria politics is the scariest in the world!

Nigeria has lost her dignity as a country under the watch of our Old age leader that is willing to contest again. For some years now Nigeria remain stagnant, things getting worse day by day. Which way for this country.

This is alarming.

This is just so crazy.

Why can't the government declare a state of emergency in Benue?
