Again, suspected militia herdsmen in military uniforms attacked Tse-Ancha community in Makurdi Local Council, killing eight persons and wounding several others.

This latest incident took place in less than 24 hours after seven bodies of victims of Abagena Internally-Displaced Person (IDP) Camp that were killed by herdsmen were laid to rest, last Friday.

Tse-Ancha community is less than one kilometre from Abagena IDP Camp and all are in Makurdi Local Council.

The Chairman of Makurdi Local Council, Anthony Dyegeh, who condemned the act, called on various security agencies to stand up to their duties of securing citizens’ lives and property.

Dyegeh expressed pains while evacuating eight bodies, and transporting those injured to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi.

He said those killed in the attack included seven men and a woman, while five persons were seriously injured

Special Adviser to the Governor on Security matters, Colonel Paul Hembah (rtd.), who accompanied the Chairman to the scene, called on the people to stop relying solely on federal security, but should stand up to defend themselves and their lands.

He extended Governor Samuel Ortom’s condolences to the people and prayed for peace to return in the state.

It was gathered that an ATM card bearing Audullayi Sabo with life and empty bullets were picked at the scene of the attack.

A member of House of Representatives, representing Makurdi/Guma Constituency, Benjamin Mzondu, who condemned the attack, urged security agencies to protect Nigerians.

Mzondu, in a statement by his media Coordinator, Skilful Normal, yesterday, maintained that he was hurt by the attack, which claimed no fewer than 10 lives in Tse-Ancha.

People should be careful and take responsibility.


Buhari's brothers are dancing to the pop of federal stronghold.

Even in football, attacking minded teams don't cry of defeat. The day Benue residents realize that the best way to defend is to attack, then we won't hear these kind of stories anymore.

Foolanis again?

It's high time benue start distancing themselves from north and join southern movements so that they won't be lone rangers

UGM has started infiltrating the North.

This is purely the handwork of IPOB and UGM to tarnish the image of Fulani`s

Do you guys remember when Ortom while still in APC, asked Benue people to submit their guns and get paid or anyone that failed to submit his gun and is later caught with a gun will be jailed?

Do you guys remember us seeing pictures of assault rifles that were returned to govt?

Well it is proving costly today.

And I wanna believe disarming Benue people was a mandate given to Ortom when he was still in APC by the Fulani president but he didn’t know they had sinister intentions.

Today he’s charging Benue people to defend themselves...

With what?

How do you defend yourself with bare hands against an AK47 welding enemy?

I pray Benue doesn’t fall!

Defend una sef una no go hear, until they kill una Finnish abi

Fulani Herdsmen have finished vulturegriller people

They are just killing Benue people like chicken

Defend your self today, and get airstrikes tomorrow...
Defend your self today, and get declared as terrorists tomorrow
Defend your self today and get called children of hate, and haters of Islam

Are you ready to defend yourself?

Ladies and gentlemen, are you happy with this incessant killings and abductions of your fellow countrymen and women?

BigSarah:
Defend your self today, and get airstrikes tomorrow...
Defend your self today, and get declared as terrorists tomorrow
Defend your self today and get called children of hate, and haters of Islam

Are you ready to defend yourself?

But, what solution can you suggests?

They can't just fold their hands nah!

It's a terribly helpless situation, no suggestions because the available options would result in deaths
