EXCLUSIVE: Military Launches Air Strikes On Benue To Kill Unknown Gunmen, Residents Panic
The aircraft flew as low as 5 to 10 metres above the roof level with a wicked soldier who was shooting randomly and emptying a lot of magazines in motion

and the Nigerian Air Force have begun air strikes on Bonta community in Shangev Tiev, Konshisha Local Government Area of Benue State, to destroy the camps of unknown gunmen, believed to be militants from the South-East.

SaharaReporters learnt that the military jets after leaving Essien Udim Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday where they had been engaging operatives of the Eastern Security Network, were redirected to Benue State to continue air interdictions.


SaharaReporters gathered from eyewitnesses that the aircraft flew at low level as they released gunfire, forcing residents to run in different directions as the deafening bombardments continued on Tuesday.

“The aircraft flew as low as 5 to 10 metres above the roof level with a wicked soldier who was shooting randomly and emptying a lot of magazines in motion,” a witness stated.

“It all started this morning, when Nigerian military attacked the people of Bonta in Shangev Tiev, Konshisha LGA using aircraft. This unexpected attack made everyone run out of the villages and look for a secure place to lay low,” another resident said.

“There are actually reports of deaths from the bullets, the shock from the unexpected attack and the loud sound and vibration from the aircraft. There have truly been communal clashes between the people of Shangev Tiev and the Igede community in Okpute.

“Some military men were caught in the clash when they were attacked by some Shangev Tiev youths on their way to their place of assignment. Now, the military have come to avenge the attack on their members,” another source revealed.

The Nigerian military confirmed the aerial strikes in Benue, saying they were from troops of Operation Whirl Stroke who came to engage attackers who had ambushed some soldiers days earlier.

“Some soldiers deployed to maintain peace between two warring communities of Konshisha and Oju LGAs respectively were ambushed. The soldiers were said to be on routine patrol in parts of Konshisha and Oju LGAs at about 5pm when the armed attackers seized them and went away with about eight soldiers after they opened fire on the troops.

“The military then went to reinforce and are back to the community,” a military source stated.

Only on Tuesday, the military aircraft had also caused an uproar in Essien Udim, Akwa Ibom, when the gunmen were targeted in aerial strikes for earlier killing a Chief Superintendent of Police, Benedict Okoh Ajide and other police officers.

The gunmen also killed a yet-to-be-ascertained number of military officers while many others were injured.

The policemen and soldiers were said to be in the community for peacekeeping efforts.

Why we in the core north think we can fight the rest of the country and win surprises me, honestly. How desperate can we be that we want to attack the whole south and all the the minorities in the north and frustrate their regions?

If independent investigation is carried out in most of the unknown gunmen attacks and herders clashes, the North is culpable in all of them. We are threading dangerously indeed.

Who is leading the north into annihilation?

Buhari is dislodging all the Fulani's resistance in the minority states to pave way for his marauding fulani terrorist clads

Why not apply Thesame force against fulani Herdsmen and bandits.

Bomb everywhere.

Let no one remain

Kill what anything that move

rubbish

They love soft targets too like the police.

we need peace

Prepare yourselves. Total DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA is at hand!
Our new born countries must be FREE of Fulani terrorism.

Bokoharam kill, bandits kill , Army kill, Police kill, Known gunmen kill
Major Casualty: Civilians

The north that needs the military bombardment of bandits and terrorists are left alone?

Sad

saaron:
Prepare yourselves. Total DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA is at hand!
Our new born countries must be FREE of Fulani terrorism.

Please, I beg you, it's not all of us that are bad in the north. We don't want to be begging food when Nigeria disintegrates.

All northerners should start begging the southerners, we cannot finish what we want to start.

They said southeast will be like bornu state, they never knew that Nigeria itself will be worse that somalia if they don't let BIAFRA go.

Soon, it's just matter of time, the heat will spread to every state.

Because those herdsmen and bandits control the whole country. You have to pity our president, his hands are tied.

All this show of force just to put fears on people.



Last last Nigeria must divide because unity is not by force.

This government is just looking for any means to start a war, seems they’re succeeding

this is Nigeria

Please UGM take the battle out of South East, I am neither for Nigeria or biafra but I am against the destruction of the east and the killing of innocent eastern by hausa and Fulanis soldiers and militia

Nigeria is a land of tears, sorrow, death

Too late for begging. The country is Disintegrating. The signs are visible to the blind.
We must start drafting a people-constitution NOW for our new Republics.

Why go bomb innocent citizens, when u know the culprits? This Nigeria army should take things easy, they are overstretched already.

This one na media war
After bombing people shop
Go to bbc pidgin and here from indigenes

Nigeria self if this unknown gun men
Acquire anti aircraft sub machine gun it is finish

How could this be true?

All of these are needed in Sambisa

God bless the Nigerian Army.
They want war and now they are crying victim.

Nigerian military bombing Nigeria.

What a cursed country.

When you kill a soldier you will know that Nigeria has an army.

Tiv land is not in Biafra map. So you need to check who you're bombing.

don't use air to attack people at random. Come ground with army take it out on close quarter fight. Using air means killing both Innocents and belligerent
