Immediate past Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, has condemned in strong terms the continued wanton killing of people in Benue State.

He therefore called on the federal government and all the security agencies to as a matter of urgency, set out to unravel the nature of the killings and fish out those involved.

Several persons have been recently killed in series of attacks orchestrated by suspected herdsmen in Logo, Guma and Gwer East LGAs of the state. Several persons and many were rendered homeless during the attacks.

The ex-minister in a statement on Thursday, affirmed that it was high time people of Benue rose up to defend their existence from these intruders.

His statement reads:

“It is very sad that when other communities in Nigeria are brazing up to the challenges of development, Benue people are burying scores of their own. It would appear that the intractable challenges of daily slaughtering of Benue sons and daughters have defied all permutations from Agatu to Guma, Logo, Buruku, Kwande, Vandekiya, et al.

“It has been one story of wow and wanton destruction of lives and properties. It is a norm world over that the protection of lives and properties is the primary aim of government.

“For close to a decade now, Benue people have been murdered in their numbers and both government and the citizenry are still at the loss as to who these marauding hoodlums are, what their motives are and the cause(s) of their mindless killing of Benue people.

“The worrisome dimension of the recent heartless daily killings has made it imperative that government should take urgent steps to initiate policies and set up appropriate machineries to address the mayhem that has been unleashed on the Benue people.

“The government must as a matter of urgency, set out to unravel the nature of the killings the people who are involved.

“Government immaterially should set up a comprehensive special committee made of critical stakeholders, the herdsmen, farmers, security agencies and government to oversee as superintend over the relationship between the herdsmen and farmers.

“The mandate of this committee is to engender a convivial environment for dialogue to continue to be held for all component of Benue State. Clashes must always be promptly investigated and concrete action taken by government to unravel all matter connected therewith.

“Government must assume responsibility of the protective of lives and properties of Benue people.

“We can no longer wish away the fact of the reality that we must accept to live together as one. Even then, we must urgently assemble all retired Benue armed forces personnel to offer solution on how to contain the situation. At this time, all hands must be on deck. Now that government has demonstrated helplessness, all citizens of Benue must stand up to defend our existence.”

Can anyone blame this man? If the allegations against PMB's tribesmen has not been refuted and the president promise to query the IGP the last time he managed to visit Benue after endless outcry against his insensitivity to the killings, is it out of place to call on people to defend themselves against killers?

If we turn the table around and assumed the killings going on in Benue were taking place in Katsina, and perhaps Daura is under seige like Gwer, would Mr.President's attitude towards the crisis have remained the same? Would the IGP and the Service Cheif still be holding their offices? Would he be commissioing roundabout in Bauchi if two leading Imams from Daura and Or Katsina state have just been slaughtered with some worshippers?

Can Mr.President convince middle belt state he truly care about thier security like he cared when he rushed to Daura the other week to attend the burial of one of his relatives? Now in Benue hundreds are dying!���

Benue people riseup kill any hausa/fulani man

Abba Moro the immigration scammer, na u be this?

Between you and Buhari I don't even know the one I hate most.

This minister did absolutely nothing to develop his area or the Nigger Area at large and now he’s crying foul. Seriously? What goes around comes around.

When Middle Belt boys were sent to fight Biafra or bomb Odi or detain and arrest Abiola, what did this minister or his people say? Now for “a decade” they are being targeted and killed for fun by their Fulani taskmasters.

It’s not too late to ask or support referendum instead of calling on the corrupt and foreign owned FG of Nigeria to do something

Let them keep watching and voting apc, by the time the last few Benue people are buried, their eyes will clear.

Sometimes i wonder if those Benue people don't have sense. must they be told to defend themselves first before they do dat?

It is about Time.
Enough is Now Enough.


#BenueNotSafe

What have you been doing since? Why don't you wait until they cleanse the whole Benue state before you act?

The Kili Kili don too much.

Abba Mora has said the truth but he has also just awakened his corruption case , I bet you Buharis Fulani EFCC will go after this by Thursday next week

These killings have Boohar1's backing, even the Gov Ortom has said so openly.

Was this not the same man that supervised NIS recruitment where scores of Nigerian graduates died in a stampede.
His response was " Nigeria youth are impatient ".

Defend yourself online or in real life.we are tired of hearing stories,go out there attack those bastards and terrorists.

they helped dia fulani lords in commiting genocide against da igbos during d civil war....so let em enjoy wat dey sowed

You have to defend yourselves,those bastard kafir herdsmen are using juju to kill,they're not muslims.

The tiv should stop attacking innocent hausa Muslims,the bastard wicked are in bush at taking all people including Hausa in zamfara,

Does that disqualify him from speaking out against evil Fulani terrorist killers?

Always they are not muslims but kill in the name of Islam and they are all muslims faithfuls.

I blame the Benue christians for being so docile.

They would have develop a millitia and burn down the whole Abuja and Lagos to ashes.

they should defend themselves

What exactly is this APC led government doing right sef?

Being a Nigerian has never been this challenging!

keep shut,they aren't killing in the name of Islam,they are killing Muslims too,even they used to kill their Hausa neighbors in zamfara

abdelrahman:
they should defend themselves

Defending their-selves is an understatement, they should form a militia and burn down key area in Nigeria to ashes and fight the FG that is sponsoring genocide against them.

He is very right, before the armed herdsmen will finish the rest of us. It's time able bodied men rise up and defend our corporate existence.

Only God knows what is going on in the mind of President Buhari? But he and his cohorts will fail.

Please leave Islam and Allah out of this. Its not a religious thing. And even if it was, its in error. This is not the sunnah way of spreading our creed
