Suspected herdsmen have killed two aide workers and a volunteer for 360HSCD, a non governmental organizations working on HIV/AID testing and counseling in Benue state.

The aid workers had been on routine weekend supervision at Tomanyi village in Guma LGA of Benue state.

This is according to local sources who called the telephone lines of the aide workers upon learning of their abduction by suspected herdsmen.

The herdsmen who answered the call, according to the sources, confirmed the killings and insisted that such will continue until Governor Samuel Ortom responds to their demand to repeal the prohibition of open grazing in Benue state.

The state had passed a law banning open grazing in favour of ranching in 2017.

As of Monday morning, Channels Television can confirm that eight corpses have been recovered from Tomanyi village by security forces, accompanied by youths from the area.

However, police spokesperson in Benue, DSP Sewuese Anene, said she was yet unable to confirm the attack. (Channels TV)

  1. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of
    the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
    I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
    I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

  2. Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking the
    time and actual effort to generate a very good article… but what can I
    say… I hesitate a lot and don’t manage to get anything
    done.

  3. I have been surfing on-line more than three hours nowadays,
    yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did,
    the net shall be much more useful than ever before.

  4. Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
