Three Killed, Others Injured As Herdsmen Ambush Travelers On Benue-Nasarawa Road

Several armed herders attacked and killed at least three individuals while injuring several others along the Benue-Nasarawa road on Friday.

Saturday Telegraph gathered that the gun-wielding herdsmen staged an ambush, resulting in the deaths of three travellers and causing severe injuries to numerous others along the Makurdi-Lafia road near Ortese in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State.

This attack is coming barely a week after armed herders ambushed and killed three Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who were fishing in the Gwer West LGA area of Benue State.

A local source revealed that the attackers set up an ambush on the Makurdi-Lafia road on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Their targets were innocent travellers near the Hirnyam, Pevkyaa, and Ortaver villages. Multiple individuals were left with grievous injuries.

Mr Christopher Waku, the Security Secretary of the Guma Local Government Area, verified the incident, confirming that the assailants had set up an ambush for two successive days near Ortese, along the Daudu/Ortese road on the Makurdi-Lafia Highway. During these assaults, they fatally shot three individuals, all of whom were local residents.

“It was not a roadblock; the armed herdsmen stood on the Daudu – Ortese road. They killed two persons on Thursday, at about 5 pm, and injured one person who is currently receiving treatment at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH).

person, bringing the total fatalities to three. Regrettably, all the victims were local residents,” Waku said.

This is becoming normal and it's not good.

Those Nigerians who have been protesting about Gaza over to you.

Bandit's, terrorists and Fulani's are busy commiting genocide in the north and nobody is saying anything, instead we are more concerned about the war going on between two Arab nations.

The ones hiding under religion,and trying to confuse people that they are protesting about humanity,my question is,are the middle belt people not under the radar of humanity?.

The ones shouting about how the Israel is taking Palestinian land, are middle belt people not also entitled to their own ancestral land?.

Even today,I saw a topic on front page,where Nigeria government is asking Israel to ceasefire based on humanitarian ground.

A man whose house is on fire,is busy chasing rat. What a shame.

My advice to those Nigerians who have developed selective amnesia is, please remove the log from your eye before you take the speck from other people's eyes.

The last time Nigerian army operated in Benue state, it was against the Tivs that were armed and fending off the fulanis. The Nigerian army used aircrafts to bomb them with many residential houses destroyed. It happened in Konshisha LGA.
Tivs and other Christian ethnic groups of the middlebelt have been marked for extermination. No one will speak for them. Why is Yakubu Gowon not talking? Why have all the prominent Tiv men silent? Why are the vocal Yoruba elder statesmen not talking? Expect more killings in Benue.

This is how you will know that I know what I'm talking about. This thread will not get as much attention from Nigeria as much as the Gazans get yet Benue is here in Nigeria and they are the food basket of the contraption yet no one cares.
It sucks to be from Nigeria.

The Tiv people are getting what they deserve, they know the fulanis don't like them but they are always willing to align with the fulanis, the Nigerian biafra civil war half of the soldiers that participated in that war were the Tiv people , they were willing to die for one Nigeria and they are now enjoying the one Nigeria they fought for
