BREAKING: Benue: Army allegedly opens fire, kills 70, sets community ablazePublished on April 9, 2021By Ochogwu Sunday

The Nigerian Army have allegedly killed over 70 residents of Mbator in Shangev-Tiev of Konshisha Local Government Area of Benue State.

The soldiers allegedly invaded the community following the killing of about 10 personnel who were on stabilisation operation in the state over the communal clash between Konshisha and Oju Local Government Area.

DAILY POST had reported that the military, through its Director, Public Relations, Brig.-Gen Mohammed Yerima, in a statement on Thursday, confirmed the killing of the officers, stating that they were initially declared missing.

Following the attack on the troops, the army allegedly invaded the community on Thursday, gunned down scores and set houses and other facilities ablaze.

A group known as Shangev-Tiev Assembly (STA), while addressing newsmen in Makurdi, the state capital on Friday, said about 15 other neighbouring communities have also been razed.

According to their spokesman, Elder Tyoh Jude, “The army has so far razed and demolished farms, schools, hospitals and residences of Bonta, Tse-Jembe, Tse-Anyom, Gbinde, Mbaakpur, Aku, Agidi, Gungul, Adoka, Guleya, Awajir, Shiliki, Achoho and Ullam in Gwer Local Government Area, and are still planning to do same to other neighbouring towns within Konshisha LGA.

“Our unarmed people are being killed intentionally in large numbers by armed personnel of the Nigerian Army. Presently, over 70 persons are reported dead and more than 100 people are missing, mostly women, children and the elderly and hundreds of thousands displaced with its attendant humanitarian consequences.”

That's all they know how to do.

Intelligence gathering before taking decision is zero.

This is bad and should be condemned. When civilians stage offensive, it’d be a music seeking compassion from the force about how they’re overpowered, not rightly funded, starved and the like. But now, they have the weaponry to killed scores of civilians. One day the table will turn.

Tomorrow when d sympathizers of those killed extrajudicially come for revenge some people will start talking about love for a country. Army provokes first always. Never have we heard of Army neutralising a whole community when they are killed by Boko Haram up north

Those vile fools who always assume IPOB, celebrating gunmen sacking and killing of security agencies, means it was them who perpetrated the crimes of killing those officers should come here please, i want to ask a question.

If you're a part of this community the Nigerian army indiscriminately killed it's people and burned down, would you spare a tear if tomorrow you hear soldiers were killed by anyone? That's exactly IPOB's position after countless massacre against them by the Nigerian security agencies!

I never saw a country so longing to create a rift between its citizenry and the armed forces. Need I remind them the total number of people in these security agencies in Nigeria won't be more that 1 million persons? If the masses ready face them, that day na dem go dey pull uniform run o

Middle belt must stand with the south now.

We must cut off the North and have a better country.

This d same thing dat happened on Oyigbo. They claimed dey were revenging the killing of der colleagues by EndSARS protesters, which dey tagged ipob members...and used dat narrative to commit unspeakable evil in Oyigbo. Broad daylight genocide.

And ds so-called army only came to Oyigbo, a day after Fulani traders made a video claiming that Oyigbo ppl destroyed der market.

Then fools...who do not use der thinking faculty, joined Wike to blame IPOB.

Now d same thing is happening in Benue, Ebonyi and Imo State...and some people are still trying to blame ipob.

Even if, some unknown gunmen killed military personnel, how has it become an okay thing for d army to massacre a whole village just like dat.. without any investigation?

How were d army so sure dat d fulani bandits were not responsible for d killing of d soldiers?

What has d army done about the Fulani bandits who attacked Ortom, killed lots of people in Ebonyi and continues to Kidnap and kill people gruesomely in d south.

Lots of Fulani bandits kidnapping has been going on and the so-called army has done nothing.

The time to act is now o. The so-called presidency, the army and the Fulani bandits/Herdsmen/bokoharam are the same pple.
