Call them terrorists, not herders, north-central group tells FG over Benue killings.
The North Central Peace Advocates (NCPA) has described the rising wave of violence in Benue as a politically motivated campaign of terror, insisting that the perpetrators are not herders but foreign-backed terrorists.
In a statement issued on Monday, Frank Utor, coordinator of the group, said hundreds have been killed and entire communities displaced in what he termed “a systematic effort to destabilise Benue and other parts of the north-central”.
“The killings in Benue are not herder-farmer clashes. That narrative is false and dangerously misleading,” Utor said.
