This latest attack continues to fuel the narrative that genocide is being perpetrated by Fulani Herdsmen in the state.

Except Benue gets their own Sunday Igboho, these almost daily attacks that have characterised #BenueUnderAttack will continue to happen. If Benue people clash with cows, General @MBuhari will ALWAYS side with cows. Benue needs an Igboho that will side with them#TableShaker

I grew up in Benue state, makurdi to be precise.

I would tell you my SEasterners for free: these people being massacred are warriors & our last line of defence. They can fight back but aren't well equipped.

If Benue falls, just forget it. The SE is gone. #BenueUnderAttack

Nigeria is burning more and more everyday and our government is just gonna keep acting without urgency like all is well. How many more people do these herdsmen need to kill before action is taken ? Hundreds of people 1 night ?? I’m sick #BenueUnderAttack

The pictures are so gory. It is sad that these vulnerable were killed in their homeland by invaders. But to see how they were butchered like cattle evokes a deeper emotion. No one should die like this. #BenueUnderAttack

There are planned attacks going on in Benue State and no one is saying anything about it. Just last night about 200 people were killed in cold blood but you’ll never hear it anywhere on the news. Where did we go wrong? #BenueUnderAttack
