Armed persons on Thursday night attacked villages around Anyiin, a major town in Logo Local Government Area, LGA, that serves as a base for special forces and has one of the biggest IDP camps.

Residents in Anyiin reported heavy gunshots from attacks in nearby villages Thursday night.

At least five persons were in critical condition from gunshot wounds in the attacks by suspected herdsmen, according to residents accounts to PREMIUM TIMES.
Four residents informed PREMIUM TIMES in separate exchanges that residents in Anyiin are panicked and are on the run.

Residents said Nigerian soldiers who were alerted about the attacks brought five villagers who were critically wounded to the hospital in Anyiin.

“They’re at NKST Hospital now in Anyiin,” Terkura Suswam, a politician and founder of Ashi Polytechnic in Anyiin, told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone.

One of the villages is Tsukwa, which was amongst those attacked on January 1. The village recorded up to 10 casualties in that attack, according to residents who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES two weeks ago.

Tsukwa is about a mile from Anyiin, which has a police special forces unit and one of the biggest camps for the internally displaced persons in Benue State.

The commander of the special forces, Ibrahim Ignatius, told PREMIUM TIMES he was not aware of the attack because he is in Makurdi, the state capital.

The Divisional Police Officer of Anyiin Division, Celestine Utim, told PREMIUM TIMES he is trying to find out what is going on.

Another Anyiin resident who confirmed the attack to PREMIUM TIMES was Alijah Auna, the secretary of the IDP camp there.

“Yes, they’ve been attacking villages around Anyiin this night,” Mr. Auna said. “Many people at the camp here have started running away.”

“But I am still at the camp,” he added.
It was not immediately clear the number of villages that were attacked Thursday night.

Witnesses said the attackers had fled before soldiers arrived at some of the villages.

Scores of villagers were killed in the January 1 attacks in Logo LGA. Survivors have remained largely at various IDP camps in the local government because their villages are still not safe for their return, despite the police’s assertions that the areas had been secured.

When PREMIUM TIMES visited Logo LGA last month, Tsukwa, where at least two persons were reportedly short tonight, was the only village that was accessible out of the seven that were attacked on January 1.

I hope the National Bureau of Statistics is updating the "maimed" and the "murdered" data by tribe. We will need their consolidated records when the time is right ...

So sad.... for my country.

Who doesn't know that deployments of soldiers to Benue was nothing but a way to disarm Benue people who have decided to protect themselves from Fulani terrorists and also to help Fulani terrorist to continue to unleash terror on innocent poor Christians in those areas ?
This is what I said that day soldiers were sent to Benue, but some iddiotic bastsrds were busy on my mention vomiting rubbish all in a bid to defend this satanic/ isllamic government led by Buhari.

If not for the reason I gave above, why are Nig soldiers not protecting the citizens as they made us to believe ?
Why is Buhari so reluctant in declaring Fulani herdsmen terrorist group in Nigeria ? Mind you.. this group is the fourth deadliest terrorist group globally, but Buhari has refused to follow the global trend by not declaring these monsters terrorist.

Buhari should know that everybody must not be a Muslim, so hiding under herdsmen to reduce the population of Christians so that he can be able to unveil his evil plan is dead on arrival.
This islimization agenda that is in progress must surely crumble along the line.

Buhari is a Muslim
Buhari is a terrorist
Buhari stop killing Christians


STOP KILLING CHRISTIANS !

Hope lalasticlala has moved this news to front page.?
Tivs, join the Igbos now that you guys still have numbers in existence.

Shithole.

God bless Donald Trump for stating the obvious.

people think I am doing nothing while Benue is on fire,I am seriously thinking of solution to the problems. _buhari

Alas! There was a country! Forcefully married. Things have fallen apart, the centre can no longer hold.


A house set against itself cannot stand... woe to blood suckers.

so when scores were killed by the same herdsmen during GEJs regime, was it also Buharis handiwork?

GOD help us!

May God continue to protect his children

Oj

I thought the IGP has moved to Benue as directed by the President. He should be replaced already!

May the souls of the faithful departed Rest In Peace. Amen

Will you keep that fucking finger of yours from typing rubbish? The same your was in the forefront in blaming GEJ for all the killings during his reign and now you want us to praise the useless man of Daura.

silastemplar:

Go and read Buhari's statement about sharia.
I won't educate you.

I went to an interview today and was asked few simple questions but I'm finding it difficult to answer....
1. Living in Nigeria or living in Syria, which is safer?
2. The life of humans and that of cows, which holds more value to the Nigerian populace?
3. What are Fulani herdsmen known for?

dont worry about the education, just answer the question if you can

silastemplar:

Are you this daft
Try and get common sense.
After all, it should be common.

FUNKE

If this government is serious they would have ordered Fulani Herdsmen to withdraw completely from Benue state and other states where they are not allowed to graze. How long would these nonsense continue ? No wonder this country is referred as shithole

*yawns* yet another simpleton. meanwhile none of em is yet to come up with an answer to the question

Guy, please, stop this whole thing of attaching and asking the Tivs to join Igbos. Stop making us look like beggars.

I do not like many of their responses to us during the IPOB and Army saga but please, don't bring this in every thread.

suspected herdsmen!

suspected herdsmen!

it's always suspected herdsmen!

nobody ever sees the herdsmen nor their cattle.

it's always suspected herdsmen!

now am not saying categorically that herdsmen don't murder people,
but for all these incidents let us demand for sensible evidence na!


my earnest prayer to almighty God is to punish severely whoever murders a fellow human in benue whether herdsmen or not.

and to punish anybody also who mischievously spreads false information deliberately or accuses another person or group falsely out of hatred or politics.

Cyynthialove:

so buhari was responsible for the herdsmen kiliings during GEJ's regime and he's also responsible for the herdsmen killings now!
