No fewer than 11 people were reportedly killed on Wednesday, December when some suspected herdsmen invaded the Ityuluv, Tse Azege and Innyiev ya communities in Mkomon district, the Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State.

According to residents of the affected communities, the invaders were reported to have stormed the communities when residents were celebrating the Christmas season.

One of the residents who identified himself as Terlumun, said, “The terrorist herders came this afternoon (Wednesday) when the people were celebrating Christmas and invaded our communities, killing and burning houses.”

When contacted on Thursday, the President-General of the Tiv socio-cultural group known as ‘Mdzough U Tiv Worldwide,’ Iorbee Ihagh, confirmed the attack to our correspondent via a telephone conversation.



He said, “11 people were killed in the Christmas day attack on Mkomon district of Turan in Kwande LG. Some are still missing as I speak to you now.

“Our people were celebrating Christmas when the Fulani herdsmen invaded the communities and attacked the people.”

Ihagh said some council wards in the LG, particularly, Moon council ward, had long been sacked by the herdsmen.



He called on Governor Hyacinth Alia and President Bola Tinubu to beef up security in the state.

Also, the governor’s Security Adviser on Internal Affairs and Security, Joseph Har, confirmed the attack but declined further comments.

He, however, referred our correspondent to the Director-General on Security, Gbamuam Jacob, for further information.

“It’s true. I was informed about the incident but I have forwarded the report to the Director-General on security. He’ll give you details,” Har said.

Efforts to get the DG were unsuccessful as his cellphone did not connect as of the time of filing this report.

When contacted, the spokesperson, Benue State Police Command, Catherine Anene, said she had yet to receive any reports about the incident.

“I’m yet to receive a report about that,” Anene said.

Do you know how much Tinubu budgeted for security.

why should civilians arm and fight while Tinubu steals all the funds meant to secure them

Tinubu is a certified failure and a weapon fashioned against this country

God punish all his useless supporters

They can go to Benue and eat the dead body of the victims

The indegenes have to assist FG. Federal forces can't be available in all places everytime monitoring movements.

They can't arm to secure their land from the common enermy but they can arm themselves to fight each other over cultism or communial clash

Grand Comedian or Grand Commander? GCFR for mouth. Call Tinubu to act like a president.

Benue should join Biafra, they are hated because they are a Christian state in the north this is why Israel is always at alert you can never have peace if you are a non Muslim in a muslim majority region benue should wake up this is their only saving grace or sharia is coming

If they arm themselves, the army will fight against them and around up all their leaders,

Since we both have established that Tinubu and the federal government is useless

The state government should assist by forming vigilantes and forest guarding agencies to monitor rogue movements

They can still form militia and fight back.

Benue has boundary with Enugu and Ebonyi. Ask why after over 10 years of consistence attack in the state. The fulani bandits couldn't penetrate to Enugu and Ebonyi.

If these states did not pursue them out at early stage, by now they will be dragging territory with them.

The best thing is not to welcome these people at all in your state/community

The weakest link in the country is venue people. They’re been massacred lie chicken yet they can’t defend themselves.

Fulani start small small till they take over your land which is what Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho. Currently they are taking over the ancestral lands in Yorubaland, killing Obas and replacing with their Emirs which was how they started in middle belt more than10 years ago

Oga sarrki title is for Hausa. Fulani don't replace with Sarrki title but Emir.

Even the Sarki in Hausa land has been replaced with Emirs.

Although they killed Obas in yoruba land but where did you got the info that they replaced them with their emirate or monarch?

Dem no get hands to fight back.
