Agatu killings: Idomas storm Och’Idoma’s palace
The Idoma people of Benue State, Tuesday staged a peaceful protest in Otukpo, the ancestral home of the community to condemn ceaseless attacks and killings of Agatu people by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
The angry protesters, who converged at the Och’Idoma’s palace in Otukpo, discussed possible solutions that could end the endless war between cattle rearers and the Agatu people.
The group later agreed that an official letter be written to the Sultan of Sokoto to inform him about the worsening development and also seek his immediate intervention on the matter.
The convener of the rally and a lecturer at Benue State Polytechnic, Mrs Diana Ochoga, alongside other stakeholders formed a committee to meet with Senate President, David Mark to register the peoples’ protest over the incessant attacks on Agatu people by the herdsmen.
Recall that the Agatu Local government has been constantly attacked by some Fulani marauders whose interest and purpose of attack remains unknown.
