Fulani Herdsmen Strike In Ortom’s Village, Destroy Governor’s Farmhouse

benue governor ortom vitis victim of fulani herdsmen

Suspected herdsmen, Monday, attacked Gbajimba town, all in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State, killing two persons, and destroying Governor Samuel Ortom’s farm house in fresh attacks in the area.

The latest attack came less than 24 hours after Yogbo, another community in the same local government area, also came under heavy attack by suspected herdsmen, which left six persons dead and several property and farmlands destroyed.

Confirming the latest attack at the State Police Command Headquarters, the Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni and Chairman of Guma Local Government Area, Mr. Anthony Shawon, said the herdsmen, who were backed by militant gangs, stormed the communities in the afternoon, yesterday.

“The herdsmen, backed by their militia, invaded Waku village this afternoon (yesterday) and killed two persons. They are also getting close to Gbajimba town, the local government headquarters and as I speak with you, they have attacked and sacked Governor Ortom’s farm house in Gbajimba.

“Our fear is that if we are not careful, they might overrun the local government headquarters the way they are going,” he said.

    We now know that Fulani herdsmen comprises President Buhari, Minister of defence, Minister of Interior, the IG of the criminal stealing Nigerian Police, and a host of others. They have taken the fight to governor Ortom’s doorstep. Once they are the ones in charge of government, they use state resources, and security apparatus to intimidate others as if they were the strongest in Nigeria.

    If you want this killing to stop in your state just ask Nigeria security operatives to leave your state for now because fulani herdsmen will not come attack without help of fulani herdsmen in uniform
