Again, Many Shot As Gunmen Hit Yelwata In Benue by BadNews(op): 11:52am On Aug 11, 2025
Tension has gripped Yelwata community in Benue State after gunmen reportedly people in the early hours of Monday.

Eyewitnesses said the renewed attack triggered a protest by local women, who took to the streets demanding that soldiers stationed in the area be withdrawn to their barracks.

The aggrieved residents also called for immediate transportation to Makurdi, insisting they no longer feel safe in the community.

“They should take us to Makurdi because the government cannot protect us,” one protester said.

The attack is coming barely two months after gunmen, believed to be herders, on June 13, stormed the community and killed between 200 people, including internally displaced persons, with many burned alive during a night of brutal violence.

Not again. Tinubu is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria. He won't still do anything about this killing going on in Benue

The president was so quick to commiserate with Ghana after the fatal helicopter crash that killed some government officials, but it will take him weeks after much groaning from Nigerians. Then they will unleash their 20k data boys online to see if Peter obi will condemn the massacre or not.

But Tinubu and his supporters want Nigerians to believe that IPOB is a terrorist group when Tinubu himself and his supporters are supporting terrorists to kill Nigerians with the help of the military, these are the people who claim to be patriotic Nigerians

This community is not in the bush. This community is right by a federal government road. It is disgraceful that even with the presence of Nigerian army personnel, that community still gets attacked.

Yelwata again?

If soldiers had been stationed there and they watched while this community bleeds, there is something someone is not saying.

All soldiers on duty should be interrogated

Nigeria is the size of the state of Texas and to be honest it shouldn't be this difficult to secure this country, not like we are the size of Russia, Canada and the US. Just irresponsible leadership with no political will is the bane of the insecurity ravaging this place.

They obviously know what it is going on! Nigeria is under a siege by an ideology that is being supported by some of our leaders

Re: Again, Many Shot As Gunmen Hit Yelwata In Benue by ukukaegbu(m):
I hope the bandits informed the governor before coming, since he said anybody visiting his state must call to get clearance

He will continue playing yeye politics with the welfare of his people.

So, you don't know that the Venue governor did that before Edo governor followed suit?
Re: Again, Many Shot As Gunmen Hit Yelwata In Benue by mariovito(m): 1:43pm On Aug 11, 2025
In other words, the president, the army, police are all useless because if after their forced visits and setting up bases there, this could still happen barely two months apart.

Are we actually save in this zoology country called Nigeria, on what ground will killing be happening every now and then with the security apparatus totally in disarray in a particular community or region with no arrest made . What's really happening in this country for crying out loud?. Who's fault is this now, is the fault the citizen that pays government revenue and tax, is the fault point to the peace and loving people going about their daily business to make ends meet?. I called on the Nigeria government, one day the people will ask you and you will answer the questions in full Force.
Re: Again, Many Shot As Gunmen Hit Yelwata In Benue by Kukutente23:
