The Benue State Police Command, has refuted media reports that 81 persons were killed by suspected Fulani Herdsmen between May 30 and June 20, 2016, in Logo and Ukums Local government areas of the state, among others. In a statement by the command's spokesperson, ASP Moses Yamu, via the Force Headquarter's Facebook page on Tuesday, the Police said it witnessed only 22 deaths and not 81. The statement read: "The attention of the Benue State Police Command has been drawn to a publication on page 8 of the a national newspaper (not Vanguard), dated July 11, 2016, tagged "Herdmen kill 81 in Benue." The Command wishes to state that the reports was a gross misrepresentation of the true facts on ground in the state. "For purposes of clarity, the Benue State command witnessed incidents of herdsmen attacks on some communities in the state including: Logo and Ukum LGAs where we recorded 22 deaths between May 30 and June 20, 2016. "Further breakdown of the incidents and casualties recorded is enunciated as follows: On 30/5/2016, Tse Aondo and Tse Ankyou communities in Ukum LGA were attacked, where seven persons were killed. "On 21/6/2016, Vaase community of Ukum LGA attacked and four persons killed. "On 17/6/2016, Mbachom community in the Turan council ward and Tse Gabo village, in the Nenzev council ward, were attacked and one and six persons killed respectively. "On 20/6/2016, Anyiin community was attacked and four persons killed. "The total number of deaths recorded during the period, was 22 persons and not 81 as reported." Adding, Yamu, said: "Meanwhile, in order to quickly stem the tide of such incidents in the affected areas and indeed, other perceived volatile locations in the state, Mobile Policemen have been fully deployed to effectively checkmate these excesses. "The Commissioner of Police Benue State, assures members of the general public and the good people of Benue State of her renewed efforts in crime fighting and appeals to all citizens to remain calm and report suspicious persons or objects to the Police.

Can we see what these wicked government and its security agents have reduced human life to? Hear him only which also means just. I don't blame them, I blame anybody still supporting this government and keeping quiet while watching the blood of his people being spilled like water. |

God will give these bastards police and their stupid almajiri president mumuhamed a shameful death. What of the one that happened in my compound, I mean in my family house TSE AKUME DOKI IN UKUM WHERE 3 PEOPLE WERE KILLED INSTANTLY AND 3 OTHERS WHO DIED A DAY AFTER AS RESULT OF INJURIES. BESIDE ARE THEY SAYING THAT IF IT IS 22 IT IS WORTH CONDEMNATION OR WHAT? MUST IT BE 81 BEFORE BUBU WILL DO SOMETHING? THE PEOPLE THAT GAVE THESE FIGURES ARE ON GROUND THEY KNOW ALL WHO DIED NOT THOSE LAZY MOFOS OF POLICE MEN. MY UNCLE NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH ON THE DAY THEY CAME TO OUR HOUSE, HE WAS BLOCKED INSIDE HOUSE WITH HIS WIFE BUT GOD HAVE HIS WAY AND THEY ESCAPED UNHARMED. UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE THAT WERE KILLED ARE THOSE THAT RAN FROM THEIR VILLAGES BECAUSE OF SAME FULANI MURDERERS. WHAT BAFOS ME IS WHY WILL A PRESIDENT NEGLECT THE KILLING OF PEOPLE, BUT MORE CONCERN IN SENDING TROOPS TO SECURE PIPE LINES, RE PIPE LINES MORE VALUABLE THAN HUMAN LIVES? UP TILL DATE NO SECURITY ON GROUND TO PROTECT THESE PEOPLE. I M A RELIABLE WITNESS TO THESE. ITS NOT THEM SAY THING, ITS JUST THE TRUTH NO SECURITY. THE RE JUST FOOLISH LYING POLICE MEN. HOW ON EARTH IS AN OLD MAN LIKE BUBU SO FOOLISH AND INSENSITIVE LIKE 12 YEAR BABE. I GAVE UP ON THESE zoo long ago!!!!!!!!!! 1 Like |

#FoodForThought....... The media aides to PMB reacted within 24hrs to the story of him wearing N243k Gucci shoes but are yet to make any single comment as to the purported massacre of over 80 lives in Benue state by suspected herdsmen. The only remark credited to any FG agency so far is this one by the Benue state Police command claiming that ONLY a few lives were lost, without recourse to the fact that we are talking about human beings here. Imagine if we were to start a rumour today that $1 billion was found in Diezani's house, Lie Mohd and Femi Adeshina would have spoken 5 times each by now. When I look at the priorities of this current govt, I just keep weeping for my nation. |
