…community leader urges President Buhari to treat killer herdsmen in language they would understand

…….says 55 persons killed in community in 10 days

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Benue state has confirmed that two of its officials were among the five persons killed Thursday by suspected armed herdsmen at Zongu Akiki village, Mbalagh Council Ward of Makurdi Local Government Area, LGA, of the state.

The armed men had Thursday morning ambushed and killed the five victims while on their way to their respective farms.

A survivor of the attack who narrowly escaped death, one Nyitamen Iorzer disclosed that the victims were waylaid at about 7am by the armed herders where they usually converged in the morning before moving into their farms.

“They opened fire on us and killed five persons. It took the grace of God for me to escape with one other person,” he said.

Confirming the gruesome murder of the two APC officials, the Caretaker State Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. James Ornguga said “of the five persons killed in the attack by armed herders, two of them were party officials from Mbalagh Council Ward.

“Mr. Moses Allagh was the Public Relations Officer of the APC in Mbalagh Ward, whole Simon Ugber was the Financial Secretary,” he said.

Reacting, the President Mbalagh Youth Development Association, Mr. Jude Nyam decried the continued unprovoked attacks on his people by herdsmen wondering when President Muhamedu Buhari “will start treating killer herdsmen in the language they would understand.

“The latest attack has brought the number of people killed by herdsmen in the past 10 days in Mbalagh community alone to 55 persons,” he said.

Nyam also called on President Buhari to be a President to all Nigerians and not only for herdsmen.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent, DSP, Catherine Anene confirmed that the corpses of the five victims had been deposited at the morgue of the Federal Medical Centre Makurdi.

Defend yourselves. Stop calling on buhari. Even if they deployed all the military and police personnel we have in the country to the south west alone, they're inadequate, talk-less of sharing them evenly all over the country.

I'm sure you understand what I meant when I said you should defend yourselves, try it once and all the nonsense would stop. Enough said

Killer Herdsmen are Buhari brothers doing their legal duty, just try to kill one of them, then you will see how buhari will send his army to flush everyone in the town.

Please they shouldn't use this to distract our President ; he is "working tirelessly " so please don't disturb him

But I hope these Benue people are not cowards? They should start 'spoiling' immediately or else they will be an extinct race.

Oh dear Lord have mercy on the land

I'm very sure that they must have spent the whole day defending Buhari's government and insulting those that opposed them both online and offline only to be murdered by Buhari's foot soldiers, I see them regretting their decisions wherever they are, I see them begging for a second chance to come back to this world, I see their request being denied cos judgment is set.

This I have seen.

Fulfulde and violence are the languages they understand.

Of course Buhari would be mute in this case.

Izzy alright

BENUE YOUTHS are not serious.
IF it's to carry out JUNGLE JUSTICE on suspected thieves you'll see them yelling.

Dis is a situation dat calls for overwhelming Jungle justice or do they need to be told too?
Where are those BENUE youths that keep burning thieves, their collective expertise is needed here.
