Armed Herdsmen Attack Wannune, Benue 48 Hours After Tinubu's Visit by Mj4199(op): 6:14am On Jun 21, 2025

Marauding herdsmen have launched an attack on Wannune community, Tarka Local Government Area of Benue State, barely 48 hours after President Bola Tinubu visited the state to address the worsening insecurity.

According to residents who spoke with SaharaReporters on Friday evening, the attackers burned houses and everything in sight, forcing residents to flee for safety.

This latest attack raises concerns about the effectiveness of President Tinubu's recent visit and the measures put in place to address the insecurity in Benue State.

During his visit, Tinubu had met with stakeholders and directed the Inspector General of Police and the Chief of Defence Staff to arrest those responsible for the killings.

The President's visit followed the massacre in Yelewata community in Guma Local Government Area, which saw around 200 people killed.
The attack sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many questioning the government's ability to protect its citizens.

The fresh attack in Wannune highlights the ongoing security challenges in Benue State and the need for effective measures to protect lives and property.

The government has been urged to take concrete steps to address the root causes of the violence and ensure the safety of its citizens.

Why are these unnecessary killings still happening despite presdo's visit?

Why are these alleged herdsmen bent on killings instead of doing business the legitimate way?

If every adult in Naija should be allowed to carry Ak-47 as the herders do, would they have same courage to attack villages?

Enough of these unnecessary killings, human blood no be cow or chicken blood. Humans are sacred beings that even God Himself made it so.

This is now the new normal abi? If everyone over there had a gun and perhaps other destructive weapons to fight back it would be nice. Enough is enough!

Why is it so difficult for security agencies to crush these Fulani herdsmen?
Is there something going on that we don't understand?

This is what happens when terrorists are given a leeway to be more daring while peaceful seperatists are seen as terrorists.

Imagine bandits/terrorists being given presidential pardon while the worsening insecurity continued. Terrible country with terrible leaders

They’re not just sowing chaos; they’re laying siege to your presidency, trying to hold it hostage with insecurity.

Tinubu, now is the time to reveal the grand strategist within. This is your moment to orchestrate the unexpected, to rewrite the rules of engagement.

You’ve mastered defense. But great leaders know when to shift the board and go on the offensive, not brazenly, but with finesse. Use layered proxies: third-party actors, invisible enforcers, and regional influencers to reshape the narrative and tilt the battlefield.

Play it brilliantly, they’ll beg you to mediate, not knowing you authored the script from page one.

I agree with your suggestions.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO CREATE STATE POLICE.

Tinubu is only thinking of 2027 Presidential election.

So herdsmen waited for the President to finish speech and waka comot before launching episode 2? This country na real Netflix original, but na horror series.

How can the solution to insecurity be more insecurity? We don’t need presidential handshakes, we need action that won’t expire after the convoy passes.

Fat lies, it was not Fulani herdsmen, my younger ones are schooling there and they all ran heading to another community where their mother is residing untill we got the news that it was on individual who was shot by some youth for whatever reason. No single house was burnt. You guys should stop this nonsense pls..
