Suspected armed herdsmen attack another Benue community, kill 3, injure others

..we’re under siege, ex Councillor cries out

By Peter Duru, Makurdi


Suspected armed herdsmen have reportedly invaded Imatom community in Chembe- Ukemberagya, Logo Lacal Government Area, LGA, of Benue State killing three man and injuring several others.

The incident came shortly after a similar attack by suspected armed herders claimed some lives and left others injured when a state owned Benue Links Transport Company was attacked by armed herdsmen on Makurdi-Naka road while conveying passengers from Makurdi to Otukpo.
It was gathered that among those killed during the Imatom attack Saturday evening, were Tertsea Terkimbi, Tertsea Mkposu and Mimi Umburga.

A former Local Government Councillor from the area who preferred anonymity, lamented that the community had come under severe attacks by suspected armed Fulani herdsmen in recent time that left several persons dead and others injured saying the community was under siege.

According to him “the spate of renewed attacks by Fulani herdsmen militia on the people of Gaambe-Tiev especially Ukemberagya communities in Logo LGA has taken a different dimension in an alarming proportion. The people are attacked on their farms, in their homes and waylaid and murdered on the roads.

“The chronicle of the renewed terrorism by Fulani herdsmen militia recently started on Saturday September 2, 2023 at about 11am when one Monday Hembaku of Chembe village was accosted and killed on his Cassava farm by Fulani herdsmen.
His corpse is still lying at NKST Anyiin morgue.

“Five days later at about 2pm two women from the same village (Chembe) Mrs. Iember Ornguga and Dinnah Chembe were macheted and badly wounded by Fulani marauders when they went to fetch fire wood in the bush.

“They were rushed to a medical facility by men of Operation Whirstroke stationed at Arufu a nearby settlement where they are recuperating.


“Another attack took place on Wednesday October 11, 2023 around 9am at Iorza along Tse Abiem road where two young men, Mbaadega Vihimga and Chuku Gaku who went to buy fish at Zebo Market near River Benue were waylaid on their way back by Fulani militia who inflicted them with various degrees of injuries. They are now receiving treatment at a medical facility at Iorza.

“Then yesterday Saturday October 14, 2023 at about 9pm three young men, Tertsea Terkimbi, Tertsea Mkposu and Mimi Umburga were killed by the same Fulani militia herdsmen at Imatom village Square near Chembe, Ukemberagya, Logo LGA.
Their corpses have been deposited at NKST hospital morgue Anyiin


“All these renewed attacks and killings without any provocation were aimed at displacing the peasant farmers in order to pave way for their cattle to graze on the people’s crops which are yet to be harvested.

“That is why we are appealing and calling on the state and Federal Governments to as a matter of urgency deploy security to secure the area. If security personnel are stationed at Chembe village, Iorza settlement and Jootar village it will go a long way in providing security for the people on that axis.

“At the moment the nearest security post close to the affected communities is located at Arufu in Taraba state. It takes them time to arrive at the point of the incident due to the distance despite their commendable efforts in responding to distress calls.”[/b]

The ex Councillor also lamented that the attacked community had already been deserted due to lack of security presence, a development he said would encourage the armed herders to graze on people’s farmland

Contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent, SP, Catherine Anene said she was yet to receive information on the incident.

I dey tell you. ESN has its faults like all small armed organizations but they really tried in curbing the fulani madness in the SE with the few resources at their disposal...men died defending the sanctity of Alaigbo. It's shocking that Benue with all their retired Generals still can't defend themselves.

Every attack must be Fulani herdsmen as every attack in the South East is by IPOB and Biafra terrorist soldiers called ESN.

You guys must learn to differentiate attacks by armed gun men within the territory commonly known as bandits and then Invaders who may probably not be herdsmen.

I will not because you hate a fulani man then expect me to constantly stand with you against another tribe when they have not done me anything personally.

I blame governor Ortom for deceiving you people that all attacks are from Fulani. Even non-Fulani men have herders. The person guiding your flocks or animal or cattles that is not a Fulani man is a herdsman. Herdsmen must not be Fulani.

Must every attack be herdsmen?

This one is either not a real Benue man or an idiot basking in the bubble of palpable ignorance, cause no true Benue blood will spill this nonsense you just vomited. There's a saying among our people that when masquerades dancing the dance of the spirits all begin to speak in a esoteric language and point towards the same direction, then a force greater than them lies ahead. So you're implying that the true indigenes and natives of various communities across Benue and Plateau who all have collectively pointed out herdsmen as the perpetrators of the massacres in their homes are now liars? Are you so stupid that you seriously think people who are at the receiving end of near ethnic cleansing don't know who their murderers are?

Honestly bastards like you who have been blinded by dirty politics because of the crumbs you get are the reason why we need a Hamas type treatment to brutally weed you out, you lots are a cancer to any form of existence.
