It was gathered that the trio had gone to weed the farm Saturday morning and at noon they were confronted by armed herdsmen who killed the woman and her son on the spot.

“After killing the two of them, they took the wife captive. And after torturing her she luckily escape from the armed herders.

“It is more like a miracle that she made it out alive because in recent time we have not had reports of anyone caught by the invaders escaping alive,” he said.

“He assured the people that in no distance time, the crisis would be a thing of the past and reiterated his promise to prioritize the security and safety of the people.”

This Fulani killings will one day generate a brutal ethnic war. I just pity the Hausa that will be caught in the cross fire. As many people can't distinguish between a Hausa and a Fulani

Omenka will not talk, he's busy attacking Peter Obi.

Fulani herdsmen are at it again..

Hmmm.... It looks as if this guy's don get satisfied with blood.

Infact are they even Nigerians? that's the questions I have honestly wanted to ask

This food Fulani are cooking by the time other tribes in Nigeria cook for them I hope they will be able to finish it. People have said don't graze on their land. Why are you insisting you must graze on other people's lands and still kill them?

Killing everyday and the Governor is quiet. Not saying anything about the killing not to talk of taking actions and some fools and there planing on how to campaign for him. I just understand the problem of we Nigerians is self strident and not humanity

This is the state they have a figure head Rev. Fr who is playing politics, instead of protecting the people that voted for him

The attackers cannot be herdsmen from the north. They can only be from one other region.

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Will other tribes ever "cook" back for them? By now, these people should have been restricted from freely moving everywhere.
Their attacks and criminality also reflect Government complicity and that will always make it difficult (but not impossible) for other tribes to drive them out.

This new needs proper editing, how can they kill the woman and the son and the wife of the woman escaped again......women dey marry for Benue?

. Anyways RIP to the dead, I am curious, if a reverend Father with no wife and children cannot lead Benue out of the quagmire they have been into, and he can even provide exemplary leadership worthy of emulation, they we are doomed in this country.


PO to the rescue as the last hope of common man

At this point

All well meaning Nigerians Should join hands together and beg Tinubu to resign

the old man has absolutely nothing to offer Nigeria aside looting and nepotism

by the time this man is through with Nigeria
our population might be less than 50m

Not in Nigeria Nigerians are too docile and nothin moves them, unfortunately.

Very sad

This killings in middle belt are sponsored by the people who wants to Bring in GMO FOODS like bill gate foundation.




The southern and middle belt governors need to seriously delve into cattle rearing and state police.


Learn from Burkina Faso,they are sponsored

It's now clear that the blood of Benue indigenes nourishes the Fulanis and their cows.

Father Alias is useless governor. Ortom. Is far better than him.

This is the state of Nigeria but APC doesn't care..rather they're shamelessly talking about winning 2027 election even with the kind of failures they turned out to be
