Following late Saturday’s attack on internally displaced persons seeking refuge at the Mgban primary school in Nyiev, Guma local government where 36 persons were gruesomely murdered the Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom wants the president Mohammadu Buhari led Federal Government to do more than condole the State but bring an end to the ceaseless killings.
Ortom who made the call while visiting survivors at the community and the dozens receiving treatment at the teaching hospital Makurdi insist the President’s directive for perpetrators to be smoked out should be beyond mere words.
Again another Benue community thrown into deep mourning.
This time internally displaced persons seeking refuge at this primary school in Nyiev Council Ward of Guma Local council are the worst hit.
Blood stained walls tell the story of what transpired in the hands of the terror group.
Bodies of the 2 children of the district head are brought in to be buried.
An attack too many for the chief security officer of the State.
Ortom has a message for those who feel the anti open grazing law enacted by the State is the reason.
He proceeded to the State university teaching hospital were survivors are being treated.
Displaced again is the sad placement of several of these survivors who were sacked from their ancestral homes to take refuge at the primary school.
Now the question is “where do they go from here?”
