Security Company Allegedly Opens Fire on Family in Limpopo In a shocking incident that has left the community in disbelief, a security company based in Louis Trichard, Makhado, is under scrutiny after allegations emerged that their personnel opened fire on a family vehicle.

More than 40 Fulani villages were recently sacked in a series of coordinated attacks that left scores of people dead, including women and children. In one of the most disturbing incidents, a pregnant woman was reportedly assaulted, leading to the death of both the woman and her unborn child. The attackers, said to be known to local authorities, allegedly made away with over 200 heads of livestock, which were loaded onto trucks and moved through several checkpoints without interception. Residents expressed shock that despite the heavy security presence in the area, no arrests were made, and no statement has been issued to condemn the incident. Community representatives said the persistent silence from both the media and relevant agencies has emboldened the perpetrators, deepening mistrust and resentment. “The world only hears what the Fulani are accused of doing, not what is being done to them,” one local elder said. “Without justice and fairness, peace can never be achieved.” One Fulani Elder said, In Nigeria, it is normal to kill an entire Fulani community and steal their livestock but when they retaliated back, it is a genocide or massacre. This is nothing short of hypocrisy. The failure to acknowledge or address these reprisals is worsening the fragile security situation in Benue and neighbouring states. They call for impartial investigations and balanced reporting to expose all sides of the conflict, not just those that fit existing narratives. The roots of the crisis in the North Central are complex, involving competition over land, resources, and mutual suspicions between farming and herding communities but insist that attributing the conflict solely to one group undermines reconciliation efforts. The state Government has failed to address the issue. For example the Benue state government had refused to condemn or address the seven days ultimatum given to the Fulani to leave Benue state despite being warned by security agencies. Since that announcement, the government backed militia have carried out heinous attacks and extra judicial killings in many Fulani communities. On the other hand the Fulanis have also carried out a series of attacks against communities in Benue which is being described as a massacre. The federal government should therefore hold the state government accountable for directly aiding and abating criminals who are committing atrocities as well as the conspiracy of silence over ongoing attacks in the North Central region. The continued injustice and selective reportage of the crisis will continue fuelling the violence if something is not urgently done about. Authorities must ensure protection for all communities, prosecute known attackers, whether Fulani bandits, from the government backed militia and foster dialogue aimed at ending the cycle of vengeance and bloodshed. Until justice is seen to be done, the violence in the region will continue to escalate under the weight of silence and neglect.

Swift Troops’ Intervention Foils Attack on School, Saves Students in Kogi By: Zagazola Makama The timely intervention of security troops has prevented what could have been a major attack on students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Iluke Community, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State. Eyewitnesses who spoke after the incident commended the swift response of the troops, saying their prompt arrival at the scene prevented the attackers from carrying out a mass abduction of students. The attack occurred when armed men stormed the community and started shooting where students were writing their examinations. According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants attempted to seize the students and move them into a nearby bush before security personnel responded to distress calls from residents. “The situation would have been much worse if the soldiers had not arrived when they did. Their intervention saved the students and prevented what could have been a major tragedy,” one resident said. Another eyewitness described the response of the troops as timely and professional, noting that the security operatives engaged the attackers and forced them to abandon their mission. The residents said the arrival of the troops compelled the attackers to retreat from the area. All the students were reportedly safe and unharmed and safely reunited with their families following the operation. Community members also praised local security volunteers and other security agencies that supported the operation. The incident, however, left the community in mourning following the death of three residents during the attack. Security sources said one of the attackers was neutralised during the exchange of fire, while several others escaped with gunshot wounds. A security operation is ongoing to track down the fleeing suspects and prevent further attacks in the area. Residents of Iluke Community expressed gratitude to the troops for their courage and sacrifice, describing the intervention as a decisive action that prevented a larger humanitarian crisis. They urged security agencies to sustain the ongoing operations and strengthen security presence in vulnerable communities across the area. The Kogi State Government has also commended the troops and other security personnel involved in the operation, assuring residents of its commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
