Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue
State has accused the
neighbouring Nasarawa State of
harbouring Fulani militia,
responsible for the spate of attacks
on the Tiv communities in the
border between the two states.
Suswam made the allegation at a
church in Taraku, during a recent
service in his honour.
He alleged that some individuals in the
border towns in Nasarawa State were
providing logistics support for the
Fulani invaders.
“There is no dispute whatsoever
between Benue and Nasarawa states,
but the Fulanis, who are causing
problems in Benue State find shelter in
the neighboring communities in
Nasarawa State. And if the Tiv
communities eventually become
enraged and decide to cross into
Nasarawa State to pursue the
attackers, it will become a major
problem. This is what we are trying to
avoid,” Suswam said.
He promised to find a lasting solution
to the problem, while disclosing that
the two governors would soon hold a
meeting with traditional rulers from the
affected communities.
He said adequate security measures
would also be put in place to prevent
further attacks.
