Aggrieved protesters on Sunday stormed the palace of the paramount ruler of the Idoma nation, the Och’Idoma, His Royal Majesty Agabaidu Elaigwu John Odogbo, carrying the corpses of victims killed in fresh attacks by suspected herdsmen.
Recall that over 10 persons were confirmed dead after
separate attacks on communities in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State.
The attacks reportedly took place in two separate
communities within the local government area.
Angered by the killings, youths reportedly carried the
victims’ corpses to the Och’Idoma Palace to register their grievances and
demand urgent action from the Benue State Government, the Federal Government
and security agencies to halt the persistent bloodshed in Benue South.
“How long will this continue? Will a man escape from his own
ancestral land? We have lost hope in our politicians,” the protesters were
heard saying.
