BREAKING: Fulani Herdsmen Invade Benue Village, Kill and Injure Many
In a shocking and brutal attack, suspected Fulani herdsmen stormed the Adijah community in Ugbokpo, Apa Local Government Area of Benue State, on Thursday afternoon, leaving behind a trail of blood and destruction.
According to eyewitnesses, the attackers arrived in large numbers, armed with guns and machetes, and opened fire on the unsuspecting villagers, who were going about their normal activities. Many people were killed and injured, while others fled for their lives to nearby villages.
The motive behind the attack is not clear, but it may be related to the long-standing conflict between farmers and herders over land and resources in the region. Benue State has been a flashpoint of violence and insecurity, as clashes between the two groups have claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands in recent years.
The Benue State government and security agencies have been urged to intervene and restore peace and order in the area, as well as provide humanitarian assistance to the displaced and affected residents. The governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, has condemned the attack and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.
The attack has sparked outrage and fear among the people of Benue State, who are calling for an end to the senseless killings and a lasting solution to the farmer-herder crisis. The federal government has also been criticized for its failure to protect the lives and properties of its citizens from the menace of the herdsmen.
