- There has been serious apprehension in many communities in Nigeria following constant invasion by herdsmen

- Benue state has been one of the most hit with many inhabitants and killed while others have become refugees

Some communities in Benue state are currently in mourning after an alleged attack by Fulani herdsmen.

Currently, not less than 30 bodies of killed indigenes and residents, including that of the secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Buruku local government area, Mr Ter Ashirga, have been recovered

The dead, according to the New Telegraph, include a tax collector and four refugees.

They were allegedly killed on Sunday at Abuku, a crossing point on River Buruku, and dumped at the bank of the river.

The APC chieftain was allegedly murdered when the Fulani herdsmen stormed his village at Mbagbaan, Tombo in Buruku. The report said he was shot alongside some of his kinsmen.

After his death, the village was razed down making many inhabitants to flee leaving their farmlands. After the attack, the herdsmen reportedly brought their cattle into the farmland to eat up what was left.

It was learnt that over 3,000 houses were deserted with the inhabitants leaving their properties and foodstuff.

The report said those who fled the troubled area are now camped in Gboko, the traditional headquarters of the Tiv nation, and Katsina-Ala, as refugees.

The scene has been visited by Governor Samuel Ortom and members of the state security and executive council for an assessment of the security and humanitarian situation.

Condemning the killing, the governor called on the people to avoid any revenge. He also called on the federal government to assist the state to end the crisis.

The governor tasked the people of the state to always report any suspicion and further attacks.

With all sincerity I think the governor of Benue state is as useless as the p psychology.... what happened to the oath he sworn to protect the lives and property of the good people of Benue state?why not take the necessary steps to checkmate and curb this menace....the other time after the military action that left some dead,he couldn't say anything rather than ask the community to provide those that were involved....Such a weakling!

timota:
u don't know how this herdsmen operate .they will notify the army of a community that they want to attack then the army will go and disarm that community by seizing their guns then within two weeks the herdsmen will attack the community

defemidefemi:
I guess our government need someone to remind them that one of the reasons we elect them is for them to protect our lives. Why is playing politics with citizens lives has now become normal in this country and no one is saying anything against it both at the federal and states level? Or are these abnormalities that is taking place everyday one of there election manifestos for we the electorate?

Their mentor its back, so its normal and expected.
All through the time while Buhari was away i din't hear of one single herdsmen attack until when he came back and resumed office, upon all the attacks by the herdsmen not even a single soul has been arrested by the security operatives in the country, not even one.

This is not a country, i can't call it one.
The Igbos may be right though, first time am concuring with them, they may be perfectly right.

in ekiti grazing is illegal based on the state law and those people are state govt security agent so it is a different case altogether and Ekiti does not have an apc governor

obailala:
And what stops the governor of Benue state from toeing the same line of action seeing that his state needs it more?.... Can't you see that is exactly what I'm pointing at by calling out the governor?

timota:
he can't do that since he an apc governor if he tries that they will not give him ticket for second term.

obailala:
But can't you see that's what makes him the 'USELESS' man i labelled him before?... Being more interested in 2nd tenure than the lives of the people he should be protecting. And what make anyone even think he can win a rerun with his current performance especially as regards security?

Welcome party for the great and ancient one from Daura!

And of course, no action will be taken to identify, apprehend, arrest or prosecute the culprits..

Baba is in charge!
