Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Sunday, attacked and killed over 30 Igbo speaking indigenes of Ado Local Government Area of Benue State.

James Oche, the Local Government Area Chairman, confirmed this in a Facebook post on Monday, sharing videos and photos of the incident.

The suspected herdsmen were said to have attacked Ndigwe, Ataloga, Odokem, Ekile, Nduobasi, Ekpufu, Obakota and other nearby villages in the LGA.

He called on the people of the area to defend themselves, adding that the era of arms folding is over.

The LGA boss wrote, “Yesterday, no fewer than 30 Igbo speaking indigenes of Ado Local Government lost their lives to attacks by Fulani herdsmen and their mercenaries on Ndigwe, Ataloga, Odokem, Ekile, Nduobasi, Ekpufu, Obakota and other nearby villages.

“We have a situation of nearly 5000 internally displaced persons in addition to the destruction occasioned by the assailants. It took the concerted efforts of Operation Whirlstroke after we informed them, to repel the attacks.

“The era of lip service and arms folding is over. The people of Ado must rise up to the occasion in self-defence. In whatever way possible, our people must be empowered to defend themselves. Enough of the killings, we are not cowards.”

All FULANIS are with the same agenda, instead of you to condemn fulanis act you are involving UGM....

The best achievement of Buhari government is to divide the country not the people.

Nobody has monopoly of violence!

A retaliation was expected and development is not shocking.

As a matter of fact, It is just the beginning.

What people clamor for, they must have a feel.

Mazi Kanu has everything mapped out.

So UGM are not terrorist abi

Wait, we have Igbo communities in Benue? WTF are they doing in Benue state?!!! Kai Nigerian government have really done Ndigbo dirty, that's how they carved out lots of territories from Imo and Abia states to Rivers and other non-Igbo indigenous states, Igbos are easily the largest population in Nigeria if we include these estranged Igbo communities!

Don't pretend as if you didn't support fulanis, I caught you, Yes I'm in support of UGM.. I'm strongly support in UGM, since the UGM has been operating have they ever killed an innocent Hausas or Yorubas, they are killing the soldiers and police, the police are terrorist in Igbo land.. government are sending soldiers from NORTH to South and carry south soldiers to North to go and die in vain...

Any day you comment to tell us SE/SS is turning to NorthEast I pray something bad will happen to you...

Why do you pretend to care for the Igbos when you are supporting the fulanis killing the innocent igbos...

I have never seen an Igbo person condemning the activities of ESN/UGN, so fucking what?

IGBOS can never CONDEMN it, when we protested for BIAFRA with empty hand the government killed us, you want us to protest again and die in vain... Yeah I know some peaceful igbos are still CONDEMING the IPOB for peace to reign in this country but the truth is that fulanis don't want peace in this country...

Say the truth, have the fulanis been peaceful ever since they came to Nigeria...
EVERYONE knows Igbos are peaceful, the government pushed the people to the walls and bet me this is just the beginning..

Let the government send the fulanis back to there land for peace to reign..

You want the igbos to fold their hands and die like a fowl in the hands of the fulanis.. Never!

So sad.
When will there be Peace.

Benue should be completely bombed, the slow sacrifices is making the gods get upset.

LOL... were they interviewing them each to find out if they spoke Igbo ?

Dey lie with sense nah.

Fulani herdsmen attack.
