137,000 killed by Muslim Fulani herdsmen who have targeted Christians and Muslims who do not accept their authority. Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Over 137,000 People, 100 Security Agents Have Been Killed By Fulani Herdsmen In Benue—Governor Ortom,” Sahara Reporters, November 18, 2021:
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom says President Muhammadu Buhari’s government has not governed with justice, fairness and equity.
He alleged that Buhari has been tormenting separatist agitators, while pampering killer bandits in the country.
He criticised the Nigerian government for arresting and detaining the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu in Abuja.
It also decried its involvement in the arrest and incarceration of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho in Benin Republic, while failing to arrest bandits and herdsmen whom he said no longer wear masks when they kidnap and kill innocent Nigerians.
The governor also lamented that about 137,000 residents and over 100 security personnel have been killed by ravaging bandits in Benue State.
Ortom revealed this while briefing journalists in a video clip obtained by SaharaReporters on Wednesday.
“Today, there is no justice, no fairness, no equity. About agitation in the South East, we talk about Nnamdi Kanu, he has been detained, because according to those prosecutors, we were told that he breached the laws of this country. In the South-West, Sunday Igboho, he was apprehended, he ran away but he was caught in the Benin Republic and the federal government was interested. Why? We’re also told that he breached the laws of this country,” he said.
He continued, “Then, how are the Fulani herdsmen and militia who have been given the new name of bandits? Two weeks ago, some of our subjects in Benue State were kidnapped. Our children, three girls and one boy. And then, two who boarded Benue State vehicles to Zamfara were kidnapped, and their parents were asked to bring N30 million and in the course of negotiations, these bandits took pictures, photo clips, the bandits and these our children and posted on social media. And they said that if you don’t give us this money, we are going to kill them. And they were not even masked. They displayed themselves. And up till today, no security (agency) has gone after them.”…

Nigeria: Muslims have murdered over 137,000 people in Benue state
…………
Just horrifying. Yet still few in the West even know about this genocide.
Bob Egan says
They don’t want to know because this type of news is not derogatory to The People’s Republic of China. The United States government and bureaucracy would prefer that their slanderous lies about the treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang are given maximum media exposure.

Every year since 1990, between 1,000 and 2,000 Christians have been murdered in Nigeria by Muslims. During that 30 year period, the estimated, conservative total will be about 45,000 Christians murdered by Muslims. I believe the real total is more like 100,000 Nigerian Christians murdered. This is a genocide and the world is not paying attention or counting the victims of jihad.
THIS IS WHAT A MUSLIM TAKE-OVER LOOKS LIKE. The Muslim vigilantes kill, and the rulers look the other way.
OLD GUY says
137,000 thousand christians murdered by muslim/islamics. Why no media outrage or coverage of the genocide of my guess mostly BLACK Christians by Islam? It seem like the only atrocity that gets covered by the media is if a WHITE person kills a black person. Then the media, Black Lives Matter, every celebrity and talk show host screams RACISM and blames White Supremacy. While the killing of a Christians may not be RACIST, the killing of 137,000 Christians is a pretty good indicator that ISLAM is a THREAT and VARY DANGEROUS Muslim/Islamic Ideology.
