50 killed as gunmen attack host communities of IDP camps in Benue

No fewer than 50 people were killed yesterday May 24th after armed men believed to be members of Fulani militia stormed Logo local government area of Benue State where some Internally Displaced Persons are being kept. The men reportedly shot and killed at will.

According to reports, the armed men destroyed churches, cars, houses, market places during their attack which lasted for about an hour. Iorza, Faga, Per and Ukura Villages in the local government area where the IDPs are taking refuge after fleeing their villages following attacks, were affected.

Spokesman of the Benue State Police Command, ASP Austin Ezeani while confirming the incident said he could not ascertain the number of casualties.

    We were all overwhelmed by emotion yesterday at our Legion Senatus meeting, as a sister from Agatu in Benue state reported how the Fulani militia has rendered the people homeless and killed many in that community.
    Something ought to be done about this menace before it snowballs into something bigger than Boko haram.

    Oh no! Not again! This is certainly not the ordinary fulani that we know.
    I suspect boko haram. This has become so bad that farming activities has been disrupted.
    May their god give them an unpleasant end
