Some suspected Fulani herdsmen recently invaded Tse Vambe community in the Guma Local Government Area of Benue State. They beheaded a farmer and injured several others. Pa Usende Nyitar, father of the deceased, Titus Nyitar, 33, tells JOHN CHARLES the circumstances that led to his son’s deathHe was my biological child and the fourth child in the family but due to his passion and attitude, he was always looked up to as if he was the eldest.He was not living in the village.
For instance, my sons went to the farm early in the morning to get food items with the hope of returning home immediately. I was told that five persons went to the farm. Immediately they entered the farm, the herdsmen surrounded them. Four of them took off on their bikes, while my late son was running and trekking before the herdsmen shot at him and later used machetes on him.
Immediately I heard that my son was killed, I went to the chief in my area, who drew the attention of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and OPWS to it.When the incident happened, we went to police to report and our statement was taken. Since then, nothing has been done. The police have not said anything about the matter. We are still waiting for those concerned to respond.
