Herdsmen: Angry youths shut down Benue, blast Buhari

Some youths on Friday shut down the city of Makurdi, in protest against incessant killings of innocent citizens by Fulani herdsmen.

The protesters comprise youths who are mostly students, tricyclists, motorcyclists and farmers.

Some of the protesters were seen with placards bearing various inscriptions such as “on ranching we insist,” “Buhari where is your conscience,” “Benue will not be silenced,” “Buhari, Nigeria is not a Federal Republic of Fulani and others.”

The protesters declared support for the Governor Samuel Ortom government, saying he cannot be intimidated.
