3 Killed, Several Injured in Benue Border Clashes via thisdaylive
Three persons were feared dead and several others declared missing while scores sustained serious injuries in bloody clashes between Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa and Cross Rivers State in different Incidents.
He explained that the killing sparked a reprisal by his people which led to further attacks by armed herders. Meanwhile the Caretaker Chairman of Kwande LGA, Mr. Yakwan Tertsua also yesterday confirmed the communal crisis between the border communities of Mbakunu in Kwande LGA of the state and Odam in Obaliku LGA of Cross River State and another on the Benue and Taraba state border.
“They claimed that they paid money to the Chief in Obaliku who showed them that area. But the Agro Rangers warmed them that the area belonged to Benue state and that they should not graze there. “Already 10 of them have been transferred from the General Hospital Adikpo to the Benue State University Teaching Hospital, BSUTH, Makurdi. We are also making arrangement to bring another with neck injury to Makurdi.“But I think this latest crisis has to do with the boundary demarcation that has been proposed by the National Boundary Commission, NBC, because based on the Lord Lugard map the land they are claiming is their own, if you look at it you will discover it falls within Benue.
