Six persons have been allegedly killed by some suspected Fulani herdsmen who attacked some villages in Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State on Thursday.

An eyewitness who made a distress call to our correspondent around 12 midnight yesterday said the attackers started attempting to invade the communities since 2pm but met with stiff resistance.

Our source stated further that many persons were injured during the attack adding that villagers had deserted Okoklo, Ologba and other neighbouring villages following the attack.

Member representing Agatu State Constituency, Alhaji Sule Audu who lamented the incessant attacks on his people by suspected Fulani herdsmen called on the state and federal government to quickly wade into the matter with a view to finding a lasting solution to the problem.

When contacted, state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Moses Yamu disclosed that the state Police Command had already sent operatives to the area to ascertain the true situation of things so as not to just act on rumor.

“Yes, we heard something like that and we have sent some operatives to the area to see what is really happening because we don’t just want to be actin on the basis of rumor. I cannot say anything further until they come back.”

Our correspondent observed that incidence of Herders/farmers clashes is becoming rampant in the state, a development that is becoming worrisome even to the state government.

Recall that just early this week, the State Governor, Samuel Ortom at a security meeting held at the Government House directed security agencies to arrest those who are behind herders/ farmers clashes in the state.

Those guys're criminals, they kill and run, but because they might be muslims doesn't mean every muslim out is like them..
If they're, anyone wont rest and you won't be able sleep soundly like you used to.

You won't see that coward here..but he will be the first to rant gleefully in any Igbo/ipob thread..he never makes any comment without attaching Igbo to it..yet his people are facing a systemic ethnic cleansing..what a being!

Omenka self acclaimed ngbada come and see your master killing your people as slaves. And you are hiding

Omenka Whayasay ?

Why is it that when village attack neighboring village, they usually fight it out without calling Governmnet. But when Fulani Herdmen which is a mobile village attack other village, they start calling Government? It is obvious that Government do not care about the havoc these Fulani mobile villagers are cursing. So why can't villagers organize and defend their selfs the same way they have been doing it when neighboring village invade and attack? Organize your youths and vigilantes, go and meet them where they stay and fight it out. Why are you so scared of them? They can never outnumber your village. Theso cows do not fight, it's only the few people rearing them that fight? I hate reading about Fulani cow men do this and that.. How can you go to someones village and kill them over their own land and crops that your animals are destroying?

These herdsmen still feel they are in the 5th century where they conquer villages and take over..they kill with reckless abandon..its high time the government take these guys seriously...they are wrecking havoc in most rural communities...

Anoda subset of islam doin d will of mohammed piss b upon him in hell.
