Now fewer than 17 persons including women and children have been reportedly killed by armed herdsmen in the home town of the Wife of the Benue state Governor, Mrs. Eunice Ortom, in separate attacks on two communities in Gwer West Local Government Area, LGA, of Benue state Vanguard gathered that the communities affected in the fresh attacks were Agbanu, along Naka-Agagbe road, Saghev Council Ward and Tse Amgbem close to Aondoana all in Gwer West LGA.

The attackers who reportedly burnt down Tse Amgbem in Tijime Council Ward and sacked the inhabitants of the community also left scores injured and many fleeing to nearby Aondoana community. According to a source, the attacks by the armed herders which was unprovoked started at about 5pm on Sunday when they launched an attack on Agbanu, along Naka-Agagbe road, killing two persons. Confirming the development, an indigene of the area and Special Adviser to the Benue state Governor on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Ken Achabo who said he had just visited the attacked communities explained that 15 corpses had been recovered from the deserted community in Tijime Council Ward where several houses were also razed by the invaders. He said two corpses were also recovered from Agbanu community along Naka-Agagbe road. According to the Adviser, “the armed herders attacked Tijime Council Ward, which is the Benue First Lady’s Council Ward where they killed 15 persons and burnt down the community. “Right now we have an Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, situation in the area because the people have all moved to Aondoana which is a town community. “I have just visited them to reassure them of Governor Samuel Ortom’s concern over the development. I am still on the road traveling back to the Local Government Headquarters in Naka. “Aside that particular attack, there was also another attack along the Naka-Agagbe road, where two persons were killed on Sunday evening. “I also visited the people to give them that sense of hope that they are not alone. We have just realized that it was a coordinated attack which the herdsmen militia launched from different angles.

“The attacks left many persons injured and some are receiving treatment in Naka and Aondoana. “The development is so painful because it has forced the people out of their homes and communities when they are supposed to be preparing to move into the farms to cultivate their produce. “Their worry now is how they would survive after these attacks because they are scared that they might not return home anytime soon to enable them go to their farms. Though soldiers have moved into the communities to ensure the return of peace,” Mr Achabo said. When contacted, the Gwer West Local Government Council Chairmen, Mrs. Grace Igbabon who confirm the attacks and 17 deaths said the search for more corpses or survivors was ongoing. “We have been violated, it is indeed a sad day for us because these attacks are unprovoked. The herdsmen sneaked into these communities killed women, children and even the elderly for no reason whatsoever. “Though I cannot give you the exact number of the injured and the burnt houses but many were injured and several houses were also razed by the armed herdsmen. “The development has left us with a huge humanitarian crisis because the people have deserted their ancestral homes most of which have been razed and they are now seeking refuge in Aondoana,” Mrs. Igbabon said. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Catherine Anene confirmed the attacks and deaths promising to issue more details on the development later.

After the attacks by Fulani Terrorists, the murderous Nigeria Army comes in to secure the village for the Fulani, then the state government fails the villagers by not giving them guns to repossess their villages.

Land Grab by Fulani in our full HD GLARE.

Benue does not have a Governor

A pestle they have in Government house.

Very incompetent thing

Only wails without action

Sam ortom is an idiot , a weakling and foolish

The blood of every benue men and women killed by this terrorist Fulani herdsmen shall be on his head

Weakling , idiot.

Benue Youths and Governor are very Foolish and Useless

Its high time Benue youth arm themselves to the teeth to defend their land, since the clueless guy in aso rock and the cry cry baby in government can't guarantee their safety....

I think it's high time the youth stood up to fight this..Kill any arms bearing herdsman..

The governor too is probably doing little or nothing about this. Even though you are not the Commander in chief of the armed forces, you can be your state's commander in chief. Spend more on security. Recruit thousands of youths and secure your land. You can't continue to wait for the president forever.


Yes, local policing is the answer

Fulani people are in a hurry....if you like be shouting ONLY GOD CAN HELP US

BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR ADVICE AWAY FROM SOUTH EAST

The Fulani's are simply calling for ethnic cleansing as their grand patron has less than 2 years in power, I hope when it starts they won't start crying as they are literally pushing all other ethnic group to the wall.....

This is the reason why Muslims are always attacking Christians all the time. You hardly see them attacking other religion but Christians because they know most Christians will never fight back but rather wait for God to jump down and fight for them

Ortom has been deceiving himself with his fight against killer herdsmen.

The question is for how long

"if the mountain will not go to Mohammed (pbuh),
then Mohammed (pbuh) will go to the mpuntain".

if you like dey there for 40 dayys doing fasting and prayer for Pantami to save infidels.

Is it not time yet for the governor to form local vigilant group and properly arm them. I am tired of his wailing and waiting for FG when in reality this herdsmen are not ready to back down and FG through its body language does not give a fuvc even if everyone dies in Benue.

honestly brother I can't just understand how Christianity took away the natural defense mechanism God gave us....ordinary ant will sting you once you sit on it but a full grown human being is shouting ONLY GOD CAN HELP US OH! I don't think I will raise my kids through religion.... When they grow up they should decide for themselves.... YOUR GOVERNOR IS SPEAKING ENGLISH "CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL" "MY HANDS ARE TIED" AND YOU'RE THERE TOO INSTEAD OF DEFENDING YOUR SELVES AND STANDING YOUR GROUND....

But they chose to be turning the other cheek and remembering thou shall not kill in the bible and remembering after life....they forgot even God was on the side of many kings who went to war with their enemies

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE NEVER RISEN UP TO DEFEND YOUR LAND AGAINST FULANI HERDSMEN TERRORIST KEEP YOU ADVICE AWAY FROM SOUTH EAST......

Bro, the insecurity in the land is too much and 2 years is still far.

Something needs to be done drastically.

And you want igbos to emulate him and his people ?.

They were one of the useful idiots that massively voted in this disaster.
They should carry their cross

Keep supporting ONE Nigeria.

Christians should understand that,Angel Michael or Gabriel will not come down from heaven with a gun or cutlass to fight this Fulani Jihadists.

Defend yourselves.
Arm yourselves.
Fight for your life, families,lands.

If the people of benue wait for the lizard in asorock to do something about it, they are on a long thing. Self defence is not a crime, it is your natural right, don't let the terrorist in asorock take it away from you. The military are always quick to disarm you people, while they live the fulanis to go about killing without any opposition. Benue people you have a right to life, exercise it. You are free to defend your right at all cost even against the state(the police, Soldiers, Buhari) etc

Their governor is only good in wailing and accusing buhari, equip your people to defend themselves either by crook or legit way.
