BREAKING: Soldier, Others Killed in Hours-Long Attack by Suspected Herdsmen in Benue | #Politicsnigeria


A soldier and several other residents have been confirmed dead following an hours-long attack by suspected herdsmen on Ikobi-Ochekwu community in Apa Local Government Area of Benue State late Wednesday night.

The armed assailants reportedly stormed the community under the cover of darkness, unleashing sporadic gunfire and setting homes ablaze in a siege that lasted for several hours.

“The attackers stormed the village under the cover of darkness, shooting sporadically at residents and setting houses ablaze,” a resident, Ochofie, who witnessed the incident said.

The full casualty count remains uncertain as many residents are still unaccounted for. However, local sources revealed that among the victims was a soldier who was said to have recently tied the knot.

“In the early hours of Thursday, two more bodies were discovered in nearby Ijaha, identified as Sani Ngbede and Aduba Paul Ogboyi,” a source said.

Authorities are yet to release an official statement, and the identities of other victims, including the fallen soldier, have not been formally confirmed at the time of this report.

Of course, the Northern elders and elites have been deaf since the massacre of Benue people began. The evil Tinubu government as well. Let the case be reversed and see Arewa, Northerners and this bigoted and prejudiced government swing into full action as they spare no resources in fishing out the culprits.

The only way to easily end these daily massacres is for nigerians to come together and boot out the apc from aso rock come 2027. Once those foreign fulani jihadists buhari invited to fight gej in 2015 hears that their beloved apc party has been booted out of power they will immediately start fleeing nigeria in droves cause they know that there won't be any more govt cover for them.

Thousands killed not a single Fulani herdsman arrested. Today they all have TikTok and Facebook channels parading assorted guns and cash unchallenged because they know tinubu government is more interested in arresting innocent Nigerians voicing against widespread hunger and insecurity today in Nigeria

What I still don't get is why Nigerians are silent over these killer herdsmen issue.. what these destructive lots are doing now will set this country back a thousand years. The little gains we've made since Independence will disappear in a space of 5-10years.
