Some yet-to-be identified gunmen have attacked Oju Local Government Area of Benue State, killing the traditional ruler of Ochoro community, Chief Okpe Denis Ijoko.

DAILY POST gathered that the assailants also burnt over 50 houses in another community, Ukpute, during the attack as other valuable properties were also destroyed.

When contacted, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Anene Sewuese Catherine, said she was yet to receive the report.

However, a Senior Lecturer in the Benue State University, Dr John Ogi, an indigene of the local government, confirmed the incident in a chat with DAILY POST.

Dr Ogi linked the incident to an existing crisis between the Tivs and Igede in the area saying the two tribes have been in that crisis for a year.

“This crisis has lasted for a year and the government is keeping deaf ears,” he said.

He revealed that the slain chief was kidnapped before he was murdered by the abductors.

“Ochoro community wasn’t at war with any community, the chief was in his bathroom when those militias invaded his community and captured him alongside an eight-year-old child to an unknown destination,” he revealed.

As a sai barbarian ..
How does this news concern Buhari when he's people are doing well offensively.. getting more lands to their names and increasing in number..

Buhari problem is Those proving stubborn in accepting fulani dominance .. like Igboho and Kanu...
They should learn from Niger delta people who have accepted their slave status..
3% to host communities of crude
30% to Abokki
No uproar
No protest
No whisper
Just keep clapping

A lot of government sponsored atrocities like this will go unnoticed because the Fulani administration is now using news of Igbogho and Kanu as smokescreen. We're in for a long ride, guys. If we continue snoozing as we're doing, the Islamization agenda may be completed before 2023.

Zooposki:

So oil is now your problem? Stop crying more than the bereaved. Not everything is gra gra like some certain people.

zombieHUNTER:

Oil thats located in Niger delta but belongs to Abokki ... It's not my problem
Can never be my problem.

Zooposki:

Good. Don’t cry for Argentina.

If a university in Africa has been producing architects, engineers, building economists and interior designers for over 40 years… and the same university’s modern buildings are designed by Chinese consultants, such a university should just close down.



If a country has been unable to redeem her people from poverty after 50 years of independence and several regime change-overs, maybe such a country should be handed back to her colonial masters or outsource leadership from economies that deliver tangible results for their people, not political rhetoric.

The mindless bigotry many have fallen have robbed many of the capacity to read and comprehend the news. Everything has become Fulani, Fulani Fulani... even when it is clearly written Igede and TIVs. There is no greater pyscological punishment than seeing what you hate in everything and everywhere.
