Agatu Killings: Benue Threatens Reprisal, Urges Fg’s Intervention by superstar1(m): 9:57pm On Mar 19, 2016 |
Members of the Benue State Caucus of the House of Representatives on Friday asked the Federal Government to stop what they described as “senseless killings” by herdsmen in Benue State, particularly the ongoing attacks in Agatu Local Government Area where over 500 lives have been lost. Describing the killings as “genocide” and taking a pattern similar to that of the Boko Haram insurgents, the lawmakers warned that should President Muhammadu Buhari fail to act fast, the people of Benue State would retaliate. The Chairman, House Committee on Rules/Business, Mr. Orker Jev, who read the caucus’s position at a news conference held at the National Assembly in Abuja, said, “We condemn the belated reaction of Buhari and his Minister of Interior, Lt-Gen. Abulrahman Danbazzau (retd), who broke their unholy silence a week after over 500 people were killed and 10 villages razed in Agatu area of the state. “It is curious that till today, the investigative panel purportedly instituted by the Federal Government to probe the attacks has not been made public or inaugurated. Who are the members of the committee? “Jev recalled that many parts of the state had been under sustained attacks by herdsmen since 2013. Besides Agatu, the caucus said Buruku, Otukpo, Guma, Gwer-West/East, Logo, Kwande, Tarka, Makurdi and Katsina-Ala had been attacked in the past, “resulting in the death of thousands of Benue people.” The caucus noted that the “unsympathetic statement” of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, that the number of the casualties in Agatu was blown out of proportion, “encouraged the herdsmen to intensify their killing bazaar in the state.” Meanwhile, the Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, denied that communal clash between Fulani herdsmen and farmers was a genocide. According to him, the crisis has been in existence before he was elected governor. Al-Makura spoke at Udeni-Magaji when he went to the community to inspect the level of destruction done to the area during the Fulani herdsmen/farmers violence. http://news-me.com/agatu-killings-benue-threatens-reprisal-urges-fgs-intervention/ 3 Likes |

Do you think those blood thirsty demons calling themselves fulani herdsmen understand all these Turenchi? If you have been under their attack for 3years and you are still here blowing grammar, just know that you are finished. No story. 66 Likes 1 Share |

superstar1: I am sure you can make a little pretence at being civil. Insults, (especially the sly ethnocentric variety) can not detract any discerning mind from the puerility of your comment. In any case, as long as Mumuharri continues as Presidiot, there is very little risk of forgetting the election or forgiving any idiat that made that catastrophe possible. We took over 2 decades to recover from the Animal's last outing. Only our ancestors know how we will survive this time. 54 Likes 5 Shares |

My only advice to the people of Benue is; "Less noise,MORE ACTION!!!" That's why I love the SS states Delta,Edo,Bayelsa and Rivers.They don't talk much,they let their actions do the talking. Since this government has failed in its duties to secure your lives and properties,go ahead and defend your land and children by any means possible. 55 Likes 1 Share |

Are there no able bodied men in that Agatu, or Benue as a whole that will give these fulani men fire for fire, there is no need for threatening, they should attack the fulani people already, how many are they fulani people, abi their cows dey carry guns too. If they continue to cower like this, the fulani guys will continue to take advantage of them. 22 Likes |

Alright , I support that when the government refuse to protect them. We are our own NEPA, Water cooperation, Police ,security agent , ministry of works building our own drainage etc. Nija which way forward . The Reps and Senate needs to give PMB a run for his money so he can stop visiting the nation he was elected to govern. HE IS NOW A VISITING PRESIDENT 10 Likes 2 Shares |

The dullard will not do anything until his fo0lani people are killed in reprisal attack...Just watch. When the citizens of Benue attack back, you will see the illiterate threatening fire and brimstone on the perpetrators... He will deploy all the military might to destroy them..Just watch. 32 Likes 1 Share |

I witnessed several hausa/fulani vs Plateau indigenes crises in Jos. The plateau people rather than wait on FG, they took the initiative to safeguard their land and heritage. They fought back. It wasn't easy though but they did it. When last did u hear anything about Jos crisis. Benue, u cannot leave ur well-being and lives in someone elses hands. Give the herdsmen a double of what they have. Don't forget to kill their flocks. They burn down ur houses but they don't have homes for u to burn so kill their animals (cows, sheep, goats, chickens -jst any animal they have). For every shot dey throw, give them six in reply. You should learn from history. The Fulanis r the most barbaric humans ever liveth. To kill a rat, think like a rat 34 Likes 2 Shares |
