Over 100 women, children and farmers killed in renewed Tiv/Fulani bloodbath

 It is now getting more hotter and bloodier everyday as now fewer than 100 women, children and farmers have been reportedly dead in the last two weeks by invading Fulani herdsmen, following the bloodbath and invasion by the Tiv communities in Guma Local Government area of Benue state, by fulani herdsmen. Vanguard was able to cover and give more details on the story.

Immediate past Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, and member representing Guma State Constituency,  David Iorhemba made this known yesterday in an interview with newsmen in Makurdi.
Iorhemba lamented that despite efforts to stem the crisis in the hinterland of the state, cases of silent killings and destruction of property were still being reported by the natives adding that in his village at Yogbo, no fewer than 26 persons were allegedly murdered by the Fulani marauders in the last few days. He lamented that the crisis was taking its toll on farmers in the affected communities as farm land and crops had been destroyed, making it difficult to get seedlings for planting this farming season.
He said, ‘’the invasion of my constituency in Guma Local Government area by Fulani herdsmen is alarming. It is like a deliberate move to wipe out the Tiv race; it is  unfortunate that our people will become refugees in their fatherland as a result of incessant Fulani invasion.
”As I am talking to you now, the areas have been deserted. You know that we are  farmers in this part of the country; on a weekly basis, the herdsmen invade our lands, rape our women found in the farms, slaughter our men and deprive us of our ancestral home.
”Our people cannot farm this season because apart from destroying there farm lands and crops, many of our people have now become refugees in Makurdi because of the fear of the Fulani.”
