Benue: Uproar as Fulani herdsmen take over Owukpa community

Women of Owukpa, in Ogbadibo LGA of Benue State have raised the alarm over an alleged invasion of some parts of the community by Fulani herdsmen.

The herders, who are known nationwide for unleashing mayhem on farmers in their host communities, have taken over some parts of the community including Ankpa, Ai’Odu and other villages.

Security expert in the community, Mr Godwin Okpe popularly known as Wisdom, said there was tension in the entire village over the activities of the herders.

“They are currently camping at Ankpa as I’m talking to you. Many residents are presently in great fear due to the news of what they have done in other places”, he added.

When asked if the community leaders are putting up measures to forestall their dangerous activities, he said, “I can’t tell you that now. It’s either they are doing nothing or they don’t carry us along”.
