As Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom battles to ensure the return of
sustainable peace in the war-torn Agatu communities of the state
following invasion of the area by suspected Fulani insurgents, the
invaders last Thursday extended their attack to nine villages in the
homestead of former governor of the state, Dr. Gabriel Suswam, leaving
at least 40 people dead.
Many people are reported wounded, several houses as well as farmlands
produce burnt to ashes, while hordes of other people are still missing
just as the entire has been deserted.
The recent attack by the herders on innocent farmers in the area is
coming barely 10 days after the insurgents invaded the densely populated
Ukemberagya community in Logo Local Government Area killing one person.
‘New Telegraph’ learnt that trouble started when the Fulani herdsmen
drove their cattle for grazing on the compound of one Mr. Orvesen of
Tswarev community last Thursday.
