"I Lost Two Sons To Benue Killings" – Monarch Cries Out

Many survivors and aggrieved families in Benue State have spoken about how they escaped being killed.

The survivors on Saturday narrated their ordeals in the hands of suspected killer-herdsmen that invaded Mgban Primary School on Friday.

The district head of Nyiev Community, Bernard Shawa, said he lost two of his sons to the attack.

Narrating her ordeal as well, one of the survivors, Mnenna Orkega, said she and her children had gone to sleep only to be woken up by indiscriminate gunshots.

Orkega, who lost her 10-year-old daughter, said, “I and my children were already asleep but we were woken up by gunshots that swept over here.”

Speaking in the Tiv language, the woman said she attempted to escape through the window when one of the herdsmen grabbed her child and killed her.

On his part, the community head, Bernard said, “I lost two of my sons during the attack, this was not the first time these people (herdsmen) were attacking us here. There was an attack on the day of the presidential election, February 25, 2023 during which 12 persons were killed,” he said.

The traditional ruler appealed to state and federal governments to stop the killing of innocent people in the state.

Gistmania reports that it was a black Good Friday in the state as suspected killer-herdsmen invaded the primary school at Mgban in Nyiev Council Ward in the Guma Local Government Area of the state where scores of people were killed.

You  will  lose more after the swearing in of their stooges on 29th may.  Come the  next meeting  of the  19 northern  states your  state  Benue  will be  in attendance as part of the  north  while they slaughter you like chickens.  Fools. This  reminds us of your  major  role in the  slaughtering of  igbos who  ran away from  up north   hoping they were near  home  ended up being slaughtered in neighbouring Benue state.  May God  punish  those fulani animals that don't value lives  but forgive you  for  sins against ndigbo during the 1966 genocide.  After  these killings  no single  fulani  will be arrested and our Fulani dominated  National Assembly  will not  say a word. Mark my words
