It is impossible that all of the reports coming out of Benue and other middle-belt states are false. And it doesn’t matter who the perpetrators are. Whether foreigners, unknown gunmen, or indigenous arm-wielding gangs, this tidal wave of killings must be stopped.

Has the government given immunity to Fulani herdsmen in this country ? They are killing the indigenous occupants of Benue state and nothing is still being done.
This is pure Genocide.

Out of the 23 local government areas in Benue state, the Killer herdsmen have invaded
and occupied 14 and may invade the remaining 9 if urgent measures are taken to curb this Genocide.

Tired of saying #BenueUnderAttack, it’s exhausting.
Killings been going on for years by one group of people, and nobody has been arrested, nobody has been prosecuted.
The solution right now is State Police and arming the citizens, nothing else.

We can’t fold our hands and watch anymore. #BenueUnderAttack
People are being killed in their homes and lands and the government is watching. This is a ticking time bomb.
Protect all Nigerian citizens.

As the killings keep rising and nothing substantial is being done, we all in Benue State and the entire Middle Belt may end up losing our lives, our identity and our land if we fail to rise up now! This is a genocide and must be referred to as such!! #BenueUnderAttack.
