Fulani Terrorists Kill 46 Christians in Benue State, Nigeria

Villages are attacked uncontested for two days.

June 14, 2023 By Our Nigeria Correspondent:

ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen on June 3 and 4 killed 46 Christians in attacks on a cluster of villages in Benue state, Nigeria, sources said.

The herdsmen invaded Imande Mbakange village in the early hours of June 3, killing 28 Christians, according to a press statement from the Shitile Development Association, signed by Samuel Door, SDA president, and Ephraim Zuai, secretary of the association.

On June 4, Fulani herdsmen killed another 18 Christians, six in each of the villages of Michihe, Achamegh and Mbagene Kpav, they said.

“Altogether, 46 Christians were killed by the terrorists in the two days of attacks on our communities,” they said. “Most disturbing also is the fact that the identity of the perpetrators is known to security agencies and the Nigerian government, and yet nothing has been done to end this carnage.”

Those who escaped death have fled the areas, leaving their homes and farmlands for safety, they said.

“As our people are fleeing, herders are occupying these areas and grazing freely on our farms,” the two community leaders said. “Though due to the fear of general insecurity it is difficult to move from village to village to gather exact statistics, hordes of lives have been horrendously eliminated in several villages across the land, such that the whole land is thrown into wailing and mourning.”

Alfred Atera, council official of the Kastina-Ala Local Government Area, confirmed the attacks in a press statement.

“In the early hours of 3 June, there was an attack on Imande Mbakange community and other neighboring communities in Mbacher Council Ward by gunmen believed to be herdsmen, which claimed at least 46 lives and left several others injured and houses burnt with properties worth millions,” Atera said. “These senseless killings by the terrorists are inhuman and barbaric. I call on all security agencies to double their efforts in combating these renewed attacks as a matter of urgency.”

Catherine Anene, spokesperson for the Benue State Police Command, said police had received reports from Katsina-Ala about a break-down of law and order in the area.

“Police personnel and other security agents have been deployed to the area to end the attacks,” Anene said.
