The victims of the Fulani herdsmen's attack
Some rice farmers in Benue state have been left in a state of shock after they were attacked by Fulani herdsmen who invaded their farms with their cows. A Nigerian man, Ukan Kurugh has shared disturbing photos of some rice farmer who are currently receiving treatment at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital after they were reportedly attacked by Fulani herdsmen in North Bank, Makurdi on Tuesday, June 20.
Kurugh revealed that the victims were butchered by the herdsmen as they led their cows into the farms for 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?"
