Some rice farmer are currently receiving treatment at the Benue State
University Teaching Hospital after they were attacked by Fulani herdsmen in
North Bank, Makurdi on Tuesday, June 20
According to Ukan Kurugh, after butchering the
farmers, the herdsmen led their cows into the farm and started grazing.
"While we were
busy on a peaceful protest today to Government House Makurdi to show support to
the governor for passing and signing the anti grazing bill into law and to also
frown @ the various threat/comments by the Miyyeti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association (MACBAN) innocent rice farmers were however butchered @ North Bank
across the bridge when they were farming rice and herdsmen walked onto the farm
and started grazing. The result is what you are seeing below as the injured
farmers were rushed to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital. These
people (fulanis) have been showing themselves inspite of the passing and
signing of the anti grazing bill into law. The Fulani herdsmen are still
threatening the indigenous and peace loving people of Benue state. What is the
FG up to?"
