81 killed in herdsmen attack in Benue state

No fewer than 81 persons have been reported dead during herdsmen attacks in Logo and Ukum council areas in Benue state in the last two weeks. Attacks on communities in the locality have been consistent and have led to death of so many people. The traditional ruler of Logo council area, Chief Jimmy Meeme, who spoke to Channels Television said 70 people have been killed in six out of the 10 council wards in his domain.
Eyewitnesses also claim that Turan, Mbagber, Yonov and Tombo communities in Logo were attacked on the same day while Varser in Ukum Local Government came under siege, leaving 53 persons dead.

Speaking on the new statistics of the dead victims from the attack, the spokesman of the Benue State Police Command, ASP Moses Yamu, denied the claims, arguing that only 22 deaths were recorded in Logo and Ukum local government areas.

It beggars belief that indigenes no matter their location/area can't muster up courage and viciously defend their territory from these Fulani savages. If I was a village chief, heaven knows the government will continue to pack the carcasses of both the Fulani barbarians and their damned cattle!!!

Nigeria, Nigeria, Nigeria!!! Are we going to watch as they annihilate the communities in Benue before we take permanent action against this madness? It was Borno, then Enugu, now every month its a little from Benue. OUTRAGE!!!#//$*()
These are human beings for goodness sake!!! This has nothing to do with APC or PDP. They are both the same. BUHARI SHOULD RESIGN IF HE CANNOT DEFEND HIS TERRITORY. Security was the singular reason why he was preferred over GEJ during the campaign. what is now the difference btw him and GEJ upon all his military connections. Shame, shame, shame!!

Does the life of Nigerians really matter? The authorities keep denying the existence of these evil fulani herdsmen. Our President is not saying anything.. The police are forever 'on top of the sitiation'.. How long can this continue? Only two deaths in America and they are out on the streets protesting..and the world is talking about it. what are we doing in Nigeria?... We act like it's normal for hundreds of lives to be lost.. May God help our country.

All this policemen sef, even if it one person that died does it worth it. The state government should do something ASAP, If possible stop herdsmen from entering the state. Let them go back to daura. RIP to those that dead.

There is no oil in Benue, there lives don't matter to APC/buhari govt, they don't add to de economy.
Military are busy intimidating innocent women n children in SS/ND region. DSS will never carry news like dis dis dey are busy investigating FAYOSE n NDAVENGERS.
And som1 will say our coexistence is non-negotiable.

Pls they are not herdsmen, they are Libyans and others who come from Mauritius. Just ask the national patron of Miyetti Allah and the minister of communication.

Until you summon up courage and stand up to a bully, he will never leave you alone. Mobilize your youths and let your rich men source guns for them. Trace the fulani vandals, attack and kill as many of them as possible in retaliation. You will see that the cowards will leave your people alone. You need to do this because those in authority are the sponsors of the herdsmen who are carrying out their agenda to confiscate your lands. Consequently they will not help you against their agents.

They are not Fulani herdsmen but the members of the Sultan of Sokoto's household. Please take note.

Even if it's 22. Is 22 lives lost a joke? Mr spokesman of police what were you and your boys doing when 81 people were slaughtered by these fulani beasts? What kind of wicked administration is these?

Na me talk am!

Long Live Lib!!!

They voted for change, they said they are northerners than southerners, they said PMB is their brother than GEJ. Now PMB cares not, they are been killed on daily basis, their brothers have denied them, nobody talks about them again, their governor is no more a PDP but APC, they are not producing oil so no army will be posted there. Shame to anyone that supported or are still supporting bloody baboon called Buhari.
