Suspected Fulani herdsmen attacked four villages in Gwer-West local government area of Benue State and killed five persons, Newspremises reports.

It was gathered that three others including a pregnant woman were reportedly injured in the attack that happened in the early hours of Friday, April 30.

The armed herdsmen were said to have escaped with gunshot wounds after troops of Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) trailed them to the Benue Nasarawa border and engaged them in a gun duel.

According to reports, the herdsmen first invaded Ahume Village along Makurdi/Naka Road but were dislodged by the troops who then stationed at the village to ward off a possible attack by the invaders.

One of the natives who identified himself as Fidelis told Tribune that while the troops were patrolling Ahume community, the herdsmen went further to Tse-Nyarei Village and started shooting in all direction killing five people and injuring others including a pregnant woman.

The native said that the five dead bodies have so far been recovered by security agencies, while three others including a pregnant woman were rescued alive with severe gunshot injuries even as many were said to still be missing.

Fidelis said that the dead bodies have been evacuated while the wounded were also taken to the hospital for treatment.

“There was a distress call that herdsmen attacked Ahume village along Makurdi-Naka road. As troops stationed in Kula village were alerted, the bandits ran to another village Tse Nyarei where they killed three people.,” he said.

“Many others were injured. The soldiers followed and met the bandits at the river bank on the border between Benue and Nasarawa States where they exchanged fire with them. They however crossed the river and escaped into Nasarawa State.”

With the recent statement from the presidency to governor ortom, it is clear the Nigeria presidency has a hand in all that is going on in Benue and perhaps other states. I believe they are not only encouraging the attacks on Nigerian citizens but also financing it. Ruga is the ultimate goal! No one should be left in doubt about that.

See what this government has done to the average Nigerian:s psyche. The citizens have lost all confidence in the government , whether at the executive , legislature judiciary Security ,etc May God save us .I read somewhere yesterday the life expectancy of Nigerians have dropped to 50 years due to the incompetence of our old leaders who.have refused to die or allow the youth to rule.sinve 1960 The same set of recycled politicians
