Not Again! Herdsmen Attack IDPs Camp, Kill Seven In Benue

Armed Fulani herdsmen have killed seven persons after attacking an Internally Displaced Persons camp in Makurdi Local government Area of Benue State.

The incident forced angry youths to block the Makurdi-Lafia Road with the bodies of the victims in protest against the attack.

Reacting, the State Governor, Samuel Ortom in a statement, described the attack on the IDPs camp as inhuman, barbaric and unacceptable.

The Governor who called for urgent action against the activities of militia herdsmen across the country said the inhumane killings would not have escalated if government had taken it seriously.

He lamented that in the last two weeks, over seventy persons had been killed in Makurdi Local Government alone while various communities across Benue are suffering from same militia herdsmen.

Ortom therefore called on President Muhammadu Buhari to live up to his responsibility of protecting Nigerians.
