Fulani Herdsmen And Tiv People Clash In Benue State (Graphic Photos) by DailyPost: 10:25am On Feb 07, 2016 |
By Peter Duru MAKURDI—No fewer than 10 persons were feared dead yesterday, in an outbreak of fresh hostilities between Fulani herdsmen and farmers at Tom-Anyiin and Tom-Ataan communities, Mbaya, Tombu in Buruku Local Government Area of Benue State. This is just as the Council Chairman, Godwin Iorsue, the Divisional Police Officer at Buruku, the Area Commander and other stakeholders in the area, on assessment tour of the communities, were ambushed and attacked by the herdsmen who had seized the area and sacked the inhabitants. Vanguard gathered that the renewed crisis has created a huge refugee situation in the area with over 300 people displaced from the affected communities and scores injured in the bloody clash. A source from one of the affected communities disclosed that the Fulani invaders stormed the communities late Saturday night, shooting sporadically and burning down houses, huts, food barn, farmland and economic trees. The source said: “As I speak with you, fighting is still raging in the affected communities. Although I cannot give you a precise figure of the dead, about 10 have been killed, many are missing and many others sustained injures.” Meanwhile, the Council Chairman, Mr. Godwin Iorsue, who spoke on phone, said that he had invited senior security officers to accompany him in assessing the situation, when they were ambushed and attacked by the herdsmen. Iorsue said: “It was only God that saved us. They were over 30 and well armed while we had only four armed police officers with us. Our cars were perforated with bullets.” When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Moses Yamu, who confirmed the attack on the Council Chairman and his entourage, said no live was lost. Yamu said: “The people ran away from their communities in fear of a possible attack by Fulani herdsmen, but there were neither killing nor destruction of property in the area. “I can confirm that the DPO, the Area Commander, the Caretaker Council Chairman and selected stakeholders were attacked by suspected herdsmen when they visited to assess the situation in the area.” At press time, Vanguard gathered that fighting in the two communities was still raging.. : http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/10-killed-300-homeless-as-fulani-herdsmen-invade-benue-villages/ Photos from: http://www.viviangist.com/graphic-photos-clash-between-fulani-herdsmen-and-tiv-people-in-benue-state-yesterday 2 Shares

omenka: Peace, brother. Perhaps she is just acting as her moniker suggests. The problem with us Nigerians is we'd rather confront ourselves, instead of the government who doesn't care a hoot if we all survive or perish. With the amount of death and destruction Fulani herdsmen had caused, you'd think the government would have put stringent measures in place to check their activities. More than 40 decades with thousands dead across the central and southern parts of Nigeria, yet till this day, it is treated as a none issue. What would happen if affected states decide to totally shut down every economic activities for a few days or weeks, to press for reforms? Haven't we had enough of these killings? |

The Idomas have their problems-the Agatu front..same as the Egede, Jukun, Berom,Angas etc fighting fulani in the longest attrition war in Africa. Other Idomas, say Agatus are troublesome, Tivs say their warring brothers are quarrelsome..Not until a Tiv Is a Tiv and a Berom a Berom, a Landowner is a Landowner and a Herdsman viewed As an Enemy of all will this systematic genocide end. I have shouted myself hoarse with different monikers to highlight this fact, but no one takes me seriously. I expected a Militant group to have sprung up vowing to protect the interest of the Christian Middlebelt by FORCE (eg OPC, MASSOB, IPOB, MEND,Boko Haram, Miyetti Allah, etc), but the closest they have come cheap is Ombatse, which was neutralised by their enemies. I do not wish to provoke hatred or incite, but the truth about Nigeria is that "whoever barks loudest, gets heard" It's all about Igbo now because Ipob is barking...it was once MEND, OPC etc When will the MB have an Asari, Tompolo,Gani Adams, Kanu, etc? Ever since Gideon Orkar died, e be like say dem use jazz subjugate their youths..kai! 43 Likes 6 Shares |
