Dear God, please fix this
Victims
of herdsmen attacks in Benue State have cried out against the killing of 18
persons and the poisoning of their community water sources.
According to Channels Television, the residents of Buruku, Logo and Kwande Logo Local Government Areas, who are
mostly aged women and nursing mothers at the IDPs’ camps in Anyiin and Moon
communities, made the claim when the Senator representing the area, Barnabas
Gemade, made donation of relief materials to the camps.
Reacting
to the killing and poisoning of water sources, Senator Gemade said that Benue
lawmakers at the National Assembly had made certain demands from the Federal
Government.
Buruku
Community Leader, Mr Adzor Chamegh, told Channels Television that the
communities have been deserted and abandoned by the residents for fear of
herdsmen attacks.
He
added that many of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) homes have been
invaded and their kits and keen killed by armed herdsmen, which led to the
establishment of the camps.
Kwande
Community Leader, Helen Ikpambeseh, also asked the Federal Government to help
rebuild their communities.
She
lamented that while many of the nursing mothers grapple with difficult times to
care for their little children, the aged IDPs suffer more from anxiety and
health related crisis.
