Outrage in Benue: Protesters Carry Corpses to Och’Idoma’s Palace Over Fresh Herdsmen Killings [VIDEO]

Aggrieved protesters on Sunday stormed the palace of the paramount ruler of the Idoma nation, the Och’Idoma, His Royal Majesty Agabaidu Elaigwu John Odogbo, carrying the corpses of victims killed in fresh attacks by suspected herdsmen.

DAILY POST had reported that over 10 persons were confirmed dead after separate attacks on communities in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State.

The attacks reportedly took place in two separate communities within the local government area.

Angered by the killings, youths reportedly carried the victims’ corpses to the Och’Idoma Palace to register their grievances and demand urgent action from the Benue State Government, the Federal Government and security agencies to halt the persistent bloodshed in Benue South.

“How long will this continue? Will a man escape from his own ancestral land? We have lost hope in our politicians,” the protesters were heard saying.
