Monarch Raises Alarm Over Terrorists Influx in Benue State, Farmers at Risk

The Chairman of Gwer West Traditional Council, Daniel Abomts, raised concerns over the surge of fleeing terrorists into Benue State, leading to heightened insecurity for farmers. The influx of armed herdsmen escaping recent US airstrikes in northern Nigeria has resulted in attacks, killings, kidnappings, and crop destruction in the Gwer West community.

The monarch highlighted the impact on farmers, with losses in crops and livestock. Security agencies were criticized for inaction, urging for military intervention to address the escalating terrorism threat.
