#BenueUnderAttack: Unknown gunmen massacre 36 in Benue

Some Fulani herdsmen have reportedly massacre over 36 residents and college students in Shikaan Mbagena Kpav, a TIV community in Benue State.

No doubt the insistent killing that has bedevilled Benue state is really any eyesore incident; Moreso, the deaths were recorded in the early hours of today, May 27.

You will recall that we earlier reported that the chairman of the Katsina-Ala local government area of Benue State, Alfred Atera, has lamented that bandits have killed over a hundred people in the state between Saturday and Sunday.

Apparently, the recent attack is the latest in the series of attacks that have befallen the state which affected four council wards, Yoyo, Utang, Mbatyu/mberev, and Mbayongo – in the local government.

However, in reacting to the massacre, Nigerians have stormed Twitter to trend the #BenueUnderAttack, thereby calling for the state government to take serious measures in curbing the crisis.

An aide to former President, Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri an avid critic of the Buhari led government who was commenting on the situation said: “Except Benue gets their own Sunday Igboho, these almost daily attacks that have characterised #BenueUnderAttack will continue to happen. If Benue people clash with cows, General

@MBuhari will ALWAYS side with cows. Benue needs an Igboho that will side with them
