The Force Commander of the military spike, Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), Major General, Adeyemi Yekini, has confirmed the killing of seven people in Agabge village of Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State by gunmen.

Even the chairman of the local government, Francis Ayagah, has alleged that 16 people were killed in some villages in his council by Fulani herdsmen on Saturday evening.

Yekini who spoke to newsmen on the killing at a press conference on Sunday in Makurdi also warned trouble makers who derive joy by fomenting violence in Benue State to desist or face the wrath of the law.

The force commander said that seven names of trouble makers who were allegedly involved in the violence which led to the death of the deceased had been forwarded to OPWS by the council chairman of the area and would be handed to the police for arrest.

“It is obvious that some forces are bent on instigating violence in Benue State and they are armed too. I’m warning them to stop immediately or else, the arm of the law will catch up with them,” he warned.

Yekini, while corroborating the account of his unit commander overseeing the Gwer West axis, Flight Lieutenant, Abubakar Mohammed, explained that some armed men dressed in military uniforms had on Saturday killed innocent people and rustled cattle in Agabge area.

The force commander, who confirmed that those who were killed in the attack were innocent natives of the Agagbe community, added an investigation was ongoing to unravel the true identity of the attackers with a view to bringing them to book.

Earlier, the OPWS unit commander told newsmen that acting on a tip-off, he had led his patrol team to where some men (not his soldiers) in military uniform rustled cattle in the area.

Mohammed said his troops repelled the attackers and recovered three dead bodies which they brought to Naka town and later, another four bodies were recovered, bringing the number to seven.

But in a telephone chat with newsmen, the Gwer West Council boss, Ayaga, who insisted that 16 people were killed in the attack which he alleged was carried out by militia herdsmen.

Ayagah who gave the names of the affected villages under Agagbe community as Tse-Tuma, Shaia, Tse-Jagu, and other surrounding villages, posited that there was also suspicion about those involved in the killings.

He confirmed that he had already forwarded seven names of suspects whom he wants the police to investigate to the OPWS.

Omenka is not from Benue

He is an afonja Kwara rat.

Please pray for Benue.














I’m joking.

We are not surprise. Come on guys, we're u expecting less attack? Next level means new or higher height. So u know what it is.

God please just help us and protect your children.

RIP to the dead

90% of people who voted for Bubu are Moslems and the only reason they voted for him is because of Islam! From Northern Moslems to Yoruba Moslems! Remove SS/SE from Nigeria and you get a fully islamized country! Infact if SS/SE leaves today, by tomorrow Sharia will be declared throughout the country and Sunday will be a working day!

I hope SE/SS won’t put mouth in their family issue.

Especially when they enter SW

Chaiii

Can we for a moment stop thinking like APC Zone-Bs or PDP i-pigs...

Let's just think like humans.

These killings stopped some months to the Election, then resumed on the day the Election results were announced.

An independent investigation is highly required, either someone is continuing their government of massacre or someone who lost the Election is trying to destabilise the government.

The truth has to be unveiled and it has to be fast!

na WA oooo

Their patron don win, their confidence don return

smh....next level

That is family problem,




nothing concern me.

Kai

I am certain the venue people voted for APC out of fear for the future.

They have been surpressed already

Let them die abeg. They are too stupid to be classified as sensible humans.

How can they support buhari and expect peace? To other foolish non-Fulani buhari supporter Buhari does not know any other than Fulani and his main aim is Fulani domination.

Nigeria needs to really monitor PDP

With the number of votes that Buhari received in Benue State I don't think I want to put mouth in a matter between Fulani and Benue, it's like a family affair.
Benue will not vote for any candidate that has Igbo man as running mate despite being neighbours to Igbos in Enugu they formed the bulk of the foot soldiers who slaughtered Biafrans and prevented food from getting to starving Biafrans refugees.
I don't want to intervene in husband and wife matter

Season 1 of nextlevel.

Herdsmen of integrity

Them never start with them oo... This is just the genesis of the exodus of this administration hate towards their insensitivity as a people. Christians in that part of the country will experience more anguish than they've ever experienced or thought of.. I pray for them but don't pity them due to their poor choice of vote
