Foreign Herders Behind Benue, Plateau Attacks – Nigerian Military Confirms, Calls for Border Reform

Nigerian Military Points to Foreign Herders in Farmer-Herder Violence The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has revealed that foreign herders exploiting Nigeria’s porous borders are responsible for escalating attacks on farming communities in Benue, Plateau, and neighboring states. Major General Markus Kangye, Director of Defence Media Operations, disclosed this during a press briefing, urging national collaboration to curb cross-border security threats. Key Findings from DHQ’s Security Briefing Foreign Perpetrators: Arrested attackers often differ in appearance, language, and origin. “Their hair and speech show they’re not Nigerians,” Kangye stated. ECOWAS Protocol Abuse: Benue Governor Hyacinth Alia blamed the ECOWAS free movement policy for enabling foreign herders’ incursions. Local Complicity: While some Nigerian herders clash with farmers over encroachment, “most killings are by foreigners,” Kangye clarified. The Human Cost: Communities Under Siege Recent Attacks: Hundreds killed, thousands displaced in Benue and Plateau. Farm Destruction: Crops and livelihoods ruined, worsening food insecurity. Security Gaps: Porous borders allow unchecked entry of armed groups. […]

Labour Party Turmoil: Otti Fights Back, Labels Abure’s Suspension “A Joke” Abia State Governor Alex Otti has vehemently rejected his suspension from the Labour Party (LP) by factional leader Julius Abure, calling it an “affront on democracy” and urging the Inspector-General of Police (Kayode Egbetokun) to arrest Abure for impersonation.
