Seven Killed As Herdsmen Attack IDP Camp In Benue
Fulani herdsmen have killed seven persons and injured many others after they attacked Abagena community housing Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp in Makurdi Local government Area of Benue State
It was gathered that angry youths, who were enraged by the killings, took the Makurdi-Lafia road to protest on Tuesday morning, blocking the roads with the dead bodies.
Governor Samuel Ortom described the attack on the IDPs camp as inhuman, barbaric and unacceptable in a statement while reacting to the sad accident.
The Governor called on President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his responsibility of protecting Nigerians.
He lamented that in the last two weeks, over 70 persons had been killed in Makurdi Local Government alone, while various communities across Benue were suffering from the same militia herdsmen.
Ortom also called for urgent action against the activities of militia herdsmen across the country.
“If the Federal Government had taken the issue of militia herders seriously, it wouldn’t have escalated to this level,” he said.
