Notorious native doctor, Tordue Gber (Tiv Swem), who allegedly acts as a spiritual adviser to wanted armed criminal militias, has been killed.

He was killed by the military in a operation at Tor-Dunga town in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area (LGA) of Benue State.

The Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Sani Kukasheka Usman, confirmed in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The suspect was also accused of providing spiritual support to wanted notorious criminal suspect, Akwazar Terwase, also known as Gana.

“Preliminary investigation shows that Mr Tordue Gber (Tiv Swem) acts as spiritual counsellor that provides Gana with “diabolical” powers.

“The shrine serves as hideout for wanted armed militia, meeting and planning point for operations and logistics base for the criminal armed militias that operate in Benue, Nasarawa and Taraba States,” Usman said.

Troops of 707 Special Forces Brigade arrested Tordue on Monday following a raid of his shrine in the state, he explained.

He was arrested along with one Atoo Kuwe Francis – suspected to be his accomplice – while reportedly planning to carry out an attack and abduct one Zaya at Tse Bente village in the same local government.

The native doctor was, however, “shot dead during the struggle to disarm him.”

Items recovered by troops during the operation include a locally fabricated pistol, two Baretta pistols, 11 rounds of 9mm ammunition, three motorcycles, and assorted charms.

Also retrieved at the hideout are warm clothing for concealing weapons, two mobile telephones and three generators amongst other items.(NAN)

Nigerian Army and extrajudicial killings is like 5&6. So they are afraid of juju?

Nigerian army killed him for protecting his community against the Fulani terrorist herdsmen attacks.

When will the Nigerian army start killing terrorist Fulani herdsmen who have taking the laws in their hands by killing and maiming both young and old. Abi their intelligence no reach to find out the terrorist herdsmen?

Troops of 707 Special Forces Brigade arrested Tordue on Monday following a raid of his shrine in the state, he explained.

The Army does not have the constitutional right to arrest anyone

Hmmmm

Killed someone who's already in your custody.

I weak

Going after the terrorist Fulani is not the duty of the military but of police, while the militias that was formed to protect it's people is now the duty of military not police in the same state. Mstw, I weep for my country.

Have you forgotten that all the security forces in Nigeria are headed by the fulanis?

You think buhari was stupid when he made all the appointments?

This was the plan..... Now it is playing out.

The Nigerian army are quick to kill criminals from other tribes, but no fulani criminal has be killed by the army.

Herdsmen most not be killed by the army... Because they are fulanis.

When fulanis are involved the police and man o war are sent, when other tribes are involed they send army.

I am very happy.... Next time they should vote buhari!

Buhari will keep killing you!

wtf they arrested him even though they have no constitutional rights (that's the job of the police) because he was a "spiritual consultant " and now they have killed him without trial while he's still in custody stupid shithole country meanwhile the Fulani herdsmen are still at large not even one arrest has been.
