The lawmaker representing Benue South Senatorial District, Senator Abba Moro, has called on security agencies in the country to, as a matter of urgency, intervene in the killings of natives by suspected herdsmen in four communities in the area.

The lawmaker made the plea during plenary on Wednesday after raising a point of order to draw the attention of the upper chamber to recent killings in Ado Local Government Area.

He described it as “a violent rising wave of Fulani herdsmen attacks in the Benue South Senatorial District of Benue State”.

He said, “The menace has spread like wildfire which poses a great threat to the continued peaceful existence of communities in Benue South Region.”

Moro further noted that on 30th May 2021, Odokem, Ataloga, Ndigwe and Nduobasi Communities of Ado LGA in Benue South Senatorial District were invaded by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

He said the assailants were heavily armed and that over 100 natives were gruesomely murdered with several victims lying critically ill in different places of treatment.

He said, “Sadly, note again that there have been recurring terror attacks on farmers and natives of the Benue South Senatorial District over the years by these herders, which attacks have been perpetually carried out with impunity with no suspect arrested by relevant agencies or operatives for proper action.

“One of such attacks again occurred in Odoke and Ezza/Effium communities of same Ado Local Government Area which resulted in people fleeing their homes to neighbouring communities and consequently the establishment of Internally Displaced Persons’ camps at Igumale and Apa-Ugogzu of the Senatorial District in fear of further attacks.

“Worried that as at the time being, no cogent intervention or panacea to tackling this ugly trend of Fulani herdsmen attacks on Benue South Constituents has come out from any quarter at any level whatsoever.”

Ortom should continue waiting for his "Mr.President"

Wetin concern you senator, those are igbo communities in Benue state and you should allow igbo people sort out their problems, you're idoma and no idoma area has been attacked yet

This country is just sinking deeper and deeper into chaos and very soon our streets will be littered with armed rebel groups clamouring for secession

So much hatred for igbos has proven they are just afraid of our dominance trait and igbos are just hard nut to crack....


They should keep sending useless troops to the SE... they'll soon get what they are looking for

One Nigeria my foot.
If you get sense, organise men like ESN to defend your land o

arm yourselves and fight them back anyone you kill and disarm is a plus of an upgraded weapon for your people, any cow or herder killed inside the bush is bushmeat

I dey wait to see wetin one Nigerians get to talk.

They should keep sending useless troops to the SE... they'll soon get what they are looking for

Corrupt government...



Rip to everyone killed by bandits,boko,iswap,ugm and covid

If the Natives should form their own security network to flush out the murderous fulanis now Baba buhari will send in his calvary to kill them all.

Arm your people and kill them all

Mugu

Is he just waking up?

The SSA to your governor on security was killed and you are here ranting

Both you and Ortom are bloody cowards

And one nincompoop was threatening that no sane Nigerians will vote an Igbo man presidential candidate because of the unrest in the East but what do we have to say about fulanis and the Northerners??

In his words and I quote;

Abdurrahman Sumaila
“With these atrocities committed by the South-East people on record, how can Nigerians entrust them to govern us? I am sure not a single right-thinking Nigerian will endanger his life to support the candidature of any South-East politician contesting for presidency come 2023 general elections,” he said.

Can anyone mention any instance where security agencies have arrested & prosecute any killer Fulani herdsmen.
The Defence Minister, Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi (rtd) said "Don’t be a coward, defend yourself against bandits". Also TY Danjuma also said "defend yourselves or you will all die"
This what ESN is doing in SE/SS and the main reason why they despise & throw all manners of tantrum & venom against ESN.
The security agencies provide cover & protection for Fulani herdsmen, the earlier they know this the better for them.

I don dey get out of hand

The only thing the northerners are shouting everywhere is civil war, South East bla bla bla....none of them has ever opened mouth to condemn the killings done by Fulani herdsmen... Infact this is where the genesis of the agitations came from.... Whereby a government will allow foreigners to enter their country illegally and arm them to kill their own citizens.... Just because the foreigners are Muslims and speak the same language with them and the president of the country won't even say anything.

The idiot Abdurrahman Sumaila says no Nigerian will vote the South East for president... Well he may be right, but any right thinking Nigerian that votes in another Fulani/northerner is a big fool.... Those people don't deserve to rule this country again... If at all Nigeria continues to exist as an entity.

Hmmm! To remember that it was the middle beltans that fought against Biafra in the civil war, makes me believe that Karma is really a bitch!

Case 1:
The herders from hell want land for grazing and thus resulted into killing the locals and destroying their homes and lands.
FG reaction: We'll create RUGA settlement while also blaming the locals for not being hospitable and accommodating enough.

Case 2:

A fraction of Igbo people in the South East in pursuit of self determination were quickly proscribed and labeled terrorists and decimated at the slightest provocations. Now that they have eventually metamorphosed into something dreadful

FG's reaction:
We'll treat them like we did to progenitors during the avoidable civil war.


You self be the judge.

Organise your youth and defend yourself from fooolani herdsmen, Ipob terrorists aka unknown gunmen and skull miners from Tinubu territory.
Kill Dem all.

I don't blame the Fulani for killing you people. Your governor is a lazy man and are u telling me that the village people cannot go and attack fulanis in their own camp??

When will those northern leaders condemn the killings?

Why is it that the SHOCK MERCHANT in Aso rock will never see or hear about this. Infidels pretending to b true Muslims just to promote their satanic ethnic agenda. Allah's judgment awaits all of you.
