NIGERIANS GROAN AS SUSPECTED HERDSMEN MASSACRE SEVERAL RESIDENTS IN KATSINA ALA LGA OF BENUE
Eons Intelligence have gathered that herdsmen attacked Shikaan Mbagena Kpav village, a TIV community in Benue State, killing about 36 residents in the process.
Sources say the attackers invaded the community in the early hours of Thursday and butchered the defenceless residents.
Multiple reports confirm that over 150 people have been killed in Benue in the last 7 days by Armed Herdsmen.
This incident has attracted series of comments from Nigerians who have taken to social media using the hashtag #BenueUnderAttack to express their anguish.
A Twitter user with the handle @realsabidr said; ‘’It has become exceedingly necessary that @GovSamuelOrtom initiates an urgent #benuesecurityconference that will bring together prominent benue sons & daughters to consider strategies on how to decisively contain the incessant threats from killer herdsmen. #BenueUnderAttack’’
Another Twitter user @Vinaprisca_Ik took to her Twitter page and tweeted; ‘’Hearing of all the killings happening in this country is seriously exhausting & doing crazy things to my mental health Broken heartBroken heart Now it's #BenueUnderAttack
Over 130 people killed in one week??Face with open mouth and cold sweatFace with open mouth and cold sweat
How can a country exhibit such nonchalance concerning the protection of citizens' lives?’’
Another Twitter user said; “If you see these pictures about the Genocide ongoing in Benue State and you are not scared or worried then you are not human. Retweet for the world to know about this ugly work done by Fulani herdsmen.”
“Don’t say it is happening in Benue and it doesn’t concern you, when they are done with Benue they will have free access to the south. Lend your voice now!!! #BenueUnderAttack.”
“Hello big brother @magnitofreshout we your fans are under attack here in Benue. There’s a bloody genocide going on. Pls lend your voice #BenueUnderAttack.”
This is coming amid a rise in insecurity in the nation. In the eastern part of Nigeria, there have been unprecedented attacks on security operatives and police formations. Scores of policemen have been killed and dozens of police stations set ablaze.
Similarly, the spike in Kidnappings in the South-West is worrisome with over 30 abductions recorded in the last one month.
