Group Accuses Nasarawa Govt Of Negligence, Says 4,700 Farmers Killed By Terrorist Herders
A group under the aegis of United Farmers’ Association Kadarko (UFAK) has accused the Nasarawa State Government of looking the other way as over 4,700 farmers were allegedly killed by Buzzaye terrorists between 2011 and 2023.
“On a daily or routine basis in communities within and around Keana, Obi, Awe, Doma and Lafia Local Government Areas of Nasarawa State, about 652,260 households are internally displaced and forcefully ejected from their places of abode,” it said.
The Chairman of the group, Mr. Dennis Denen Utsa, made the disclosure while on an advocacy visit to the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Benue State Council, on Thursday, in Makurdi.
He alleged that over 246,965 are missing while about 185,671 were brutally injured and not treated by the Nasarawa State Government.
The UFAK Chairman averred that since the incessant attacks, killings and burning of houses and ejection of farmers from their ancestral homes in Nasarawa State, neither the Government nor the security agencies had ever arrested suspected perpetrators for prosecution.
