 And at least two of people have been reportedly killed by Fulani Hertzman in 12 communities in the west local government area of Benio State. According to an indigent of the area who took part in the recovery of the bodies, 9 persons were killed in Mbapa Council Ward, while 3 were in Mbanduande Council Ward of the local government chief in Yitamen, Kwacha, who narrowly escaped from the attack after his elder brother was killed. So the killer Hertzman came on motorcycles at about 4pm and commenced the attack at Seibai killing only men while asking women to escape with children. According to the community leader, the gunmen later moved in convoy to Kandy settlement area killing others. No official reaction from the security operatives as they were aiding in recovering the dead bodies. We are now being joined by his royal highness, Chief Daniel Abonsey, Tetsuiing, member of the Tive Area Traditional Council in Benio State. Glad to have you sir. Chief Abonsey. Yes. Can you hear me? Yes, I'm hearing you well. So far we hear that 12 people have been killed. Can you tell us exactly how it happened? First of all, the figure is under reported 14 persons were murdered in cut blood. And that is the area where my mother comes from. And I must tell you that these people have been on a business beginning from February 11th to date. Members of my soldiers have been bullied, murdered in cut blood, unprovoked by this killer Hertzman of full anti-nationality. There are fears that some persons were also abducted during the attacks of several locals were yet to be seen after the invasion. What is really on ground? As I'm talking to you, a search is still ongoing to discover or to unravel persons who are missing, small children, women, every young man. Because the area that has been visited with these holocausts is having a common border with Nassarawakwa state, which I persistently and continually describe as an axis of evil. There is, I can say, there is total, you know, there is chaos in that area. We have seen curses to the children of human existence. Is this the first time this has happened in your own community? No. I earlier told you that my community is the first community to be hit by this killer Hertzman of full anti-nationality beginning from 8th February, 2011 to date. The last attack is attack number 74 in the frequency of attacks and the 40% models, when you add together beginning from 2011, a total of 428 have been sent to the early graves. I wouldn't mind if we give you a breakdown of all these that has happened. Go ahead. In 2011, 55% were murdered, in 2012, 78% were murdered, in 2013, 3% were killed, in 2014, 49% were massacred. In 2015, 3%, and in 2016, 3%, while in 2017, no casualty was recorded. When you add the number from 2011 to 2017, you have 191, and remember in 217, the killings that just started out spanning from a period of about six, seven years, the Benway people came together. I was one among such people and made a clarion call on the Benway state governor, our indefatigable governor, Samuel Atom, to enact a law to regulate open grazing which was done on the 22nd of May, 2017. Then in 2018, when the Miati Arakaut and Hore vowed to resist the law in its implementation, in 2018, 85% were killed in Gwewa Square. I am the head of the traditional council, in 2019, 35% were murdered. In 2020? Yeah. Yeah, these figures are really very horrific to hear. I know from history that Tief people are warriors, warriors. How frustrated are you and your king's men to find yourself in a situation such as this? This is not, we are not in a confront in a war situation. People, these attacks are zeroed down sporadically and in a gorilla's time. If they hit a district, let's say today, they will go far in the west. If they have hit this in the west, they will go ahead in the north, where you think there's no semblance of threat to peace and they will murder people in their sleep. Well Chief Daniel Abonte, this is how much time will permit us to discuss this. We do feel the pains of your people. Thank you so much for your time.
