Protecting oil facilities is more important than protecting lives. Oil and cows holds more value than human life in this present stage.

No pics to back up your claims? I hope is not true

Why is this particular issue not getting required publicity and pragmatic action? Just don't get it! These guys are now operating with unprecedented impunity and audacity.

Again, suspected Fulani herdsmen on Monday invaded Igbongun com­munity in Tsaav Ward of Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State, killing five people.
Only last Sunday, the herds­men struck in Tse Wankyor in the same Tsaav Ward and killed 10 and injured several others.
Yesterday’s incident brings the death toll from the two at­tacks to 15.
A source told The AUTHOR­ITY that the armed herders numbering over 50 invaded the community through the neigh­bouring Kente settlement in Tara­ba State at 11pm on Monday and unleashed terror on the people with their sophisticated weapons.
He claimed that six motorcy­cles were carted away by the ram­paging herdsmen.
The District Head of Tsaav, His Royal Highness (HRH) Jo­seph Ivuen, told The AUTHOR­ITY that the attack was unwar­ranted because they have never had issues with the Fulani cattle rearers.

The monarch said that the community had been desert­ed for fear of further attacks and called on the Federal Govern­ment to provide a lasting solu­tion to the continued invasion of Benue villages by the herdsmen.
The Chairman of Ukum Lo­cal Government Area, Hon. Si­mon Kachina, who confirmed the attacks, said that they were strange because the affected com­munities never had issues with the herdsmen and charged the authorities to intensify efforts to­wards ending such barbaric acts.
The council boss who gave the names of victims whose bod­ies had been recovered as Kery­um Mku, Terkura Ajo and Ter­hemba Gwa, added that the search for others had continued.
Kachina said: “It is most un­fortunate and the most worri­some aspect of these attacks lies in the fact that they are normal­ly carried out during cropping season and for a local govern­ment whose economic mainstay is farming, the continued sacking of our people will not augur well for our economic survival. I am appealing especially to the Fed­eral Government to put in efforts that will curtail the barbaric acts of these headsmen.”
The member represent­ing Ukum, Logo and Katsina/Ala Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr. Emmanuel Udende, said that a public hearing into the contin­ued attacks on Benue commu­nities by the herdsmen had be­gun at the Lower House.
Through his Special Assis­tant on Media, Mr. Jerry Iorn­gaem, who was at the ravaged community, the lawmaker urged his constituents not to resort to self-help.
The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Moses Yamu, con­firmed the attacks.

Fulani herdsmen again!!??

PMB should tackle this Fulani issue the way he's doing to NDA........I mean, he should deploy soldiers and machineries to affected places(especially Enugu and Benue) and they should be based there permanently, till they curb the problem.

Buhari send 100 armoured saladines and attack helicopters to fulani settlements in

Don't 4get 2 tell soldiers to enter fulani mosques(and shrines if any) and take selfies behind statues too for subsequent posting on social media

And they sent the military swiftly to crush the ND Avengers while the Fulani's are allowed to go on a killing spree

Meanwhile some will be busy crying about how the government is being buffeted by many things beyond their control. Foolish Arase will not order disarmament here o! May the souls of those killed rest in peace.



Could this be one of the problems beyond Saraki? The government is stretched too thin perhaps in its quiet efforts expended towards this situation?

These infidels what exactly are you contributing to the Nigerian economy to be crying over a few throats slit? As far as we're concerned you don't count in the grand scheme of things. We're more focused on the Niger Delta for now and securing the lifeline of the nation. When we're done we can revisit your petty issues..sigh

A dog in the US has more intrinsic value than a Nigerian in Nigeria. What a sad country.
