The masacre of innocent citizens by fulani herdsmen: The silence is deafening.

No fewer than than 50 persons including nine members of the Benue State Livestock Guards have been reportedly killed in coordinated attacks on Tom-Atar and Umenge, Akor villages in Guma, Governor Samuel Ortom’s home town and Ayilamo, Turan, Ngambe-Tiev in Logo local government areas of Benue state by suspected herdsmen.

This is just as tearful Governor Samuel Ortom has called on the President Muhammadu Buhari and the federal government to protect the people of the state from blood thirsty herdsmen who are overrunning Benue communities.

The attacks on the communities which started late New Year’s Day continued to the early hours of Tuesday living several persons injured, many homes razed several persons unaccounted for and thousands of people fleeing their ancestral homes.


We are all complicit and complacent , not just the FG. Life is going on until this cancer spreads like wildfire and hits our homes then we will react.
 If you have seen the gory machete-scarred faces of the victims what did you do?
These people died for nothing, absolutely nothing.

I guess Femi Fani-Kayode said it all:


Fulani herdsmen have killed a traditional ruler, the Etum Numana, and his pregnant wife at their home in Sanga in southern Kaduna today. They stormed his home,...killed him and his wife, wounded his son, burnt down his palace and burnt his cars. Be rest assured that Buhari will say and do NOTHING!
