Again, suspected herdsmen kill 19 people in Benue

No fewer than 19 people were reportedly killed by suspected herdsmen who attacked some communities in Gwer West local government area of Benue State between Sunday and Monday.

Locals in the area said that the suspected herdsmen invaded some communities early hours of Monday and killed several people while many others were reportedly injured.

They added that several houses were also set ablaze by the suspected herdsmen.

Residents of Tse Angbeghe and Udam communities have all fled to Aondoana community which is close to Naka, the council headquarters.

According to a local who pleaded not to be mentioned, “at about 5 am this morning the attackers who are herdsmen stormed the Tse Amgbem and Udam all near Aondoana community and killed several people and left many others injured. They also burnt down many houses.”

Another source said that some suspected herdsmen had earlier on Sunday ambushed some motorcyclists at separate areas on Naka Nagi Agagbe and Naka/Makurdi roads, killing six persons.

Chairman of Gwer West local government, Mrs Grace Igbabon who confirmed the separate attacks to the Nigerian Tribune on the phone said that 19 people were killed in three separate attacks in the council area between Sunday and Monday.

She said: “We had about six persons yesterday (Sunday) and 13 people today.
“I was told that the attackers were suspected Fulani herdsmen who attacked the Mbamodu community and killed 13 people and injured several others. The attackers burnt down several houses in the community.

“Other incidents happened on Sunday at another side of Mbachon, some motorcyclists were riding on the road and they saw a man in military uniform who flagged them down.

“I was told that in the process of slowing down, another set of people who possibly had laid ambush came out from the bush and shot at them severally, four of them died and one later escaped.

Also along Naka/Makurdi road on Sunday, they (suspected herdsmen) killed two others.”

When contacted, spokesperson for Benue State Command, DSP Catherine Anene said she heard of the attack on communities near Aondoana but was yet to get details.

Why would a breathing human be against MNK in the face of all these. Some people known for prominent zombeism on nairaland are already moonwalking from being staunch supporters of baba lifeless.

Where are those Yoruba humans that love celebrating Fulani killing success

They should come oh... if Benue people start killing Fulani tomorrow

Yoruba people will be the first to call for northern revenge ...
they will call on Nigeria Fulani army to castrate those Benue people that are defending their land

This is what’s happening on nairaland and every online sites

Yoruba will remind Benue humans that they are on cattle route

Was it not adeshina that was advising Nigerians to give up their ancestral land to Fulani for peace .

They say Asgard is breaking rules .. when you tell em truth

Are yoruba people on nairaland not encouraging and stoking violence and anihiliation of igbos because they are defending their land?

Are yoruba people on this forum not calling for wars and violence in the north against igbos?

Are they not even wishing eastern Nigeria to turn Somali and Sudan?

.... yet nothing is done ...

Only wen you speak against them... they will remind mod of breaking rule 2.

Funny humans

Like we fear ban...

Truth is will always set anyone free .. not nairaland ban

Careless

We crushed the Igbos so that one Nigeria will stand Yakubu Gowon. A Christian for that matter.
