Breaking News: Two Persons Killed in a Fresh Ukpute Attack
It is no longer news that Ukpute has been under siege for the past 13 Months, by the Tiv Militias over a land dispute, between Bonta and Ukpute. It has been wanton destruction of lives and property at the place since inception. Recall that igedeoline.com reported that the abducted Igede boy of Ochoro Community was released and given a scholarship by Benue State Government, which made it looks like peace has finally been restored to the area. The reverse seem to be the case as worse has rather been happening.
In the early hours of today, igedeonline.com gathered that the Tiv Militias attacked Ukpute, leaving two dead and others injured. Confirming the news, igedeonline.com in a chat with Comrade Andyson Iji Egbodo; Igede Youth Council National president, confirmed that one clergy man, Pastor Ijuo Moses Ijoko and a yet to identify Igede man were killed at Ukpute.

After all the promises from the Benue State governor, his Excellency Dr Samuel Ortom, as reported by several media platforms that peace has been restored to the region, it seems nothing close to that is achievable, yet. It was reported that the very day, the abducted 5 years old boy was released, there was an attack on the people of Ukpute.
More details on this will be posted, shortly.

This is so sad and unbearable news ?? we are tired of hearing such news in our land. If the government or politics can’t do anything then we have to find solutions by ourselves. This is getting out of hand. May their souls rest in peace and may God consoul their families ??????
It’s very unfortunate, let Governor warn his people to withdraw from this case before it takes to another things around.
This is so painful to here. ??????? And most of all, it’s unbearable . May there souls rest in peace. The government seriously need to look into this and find a lasting solution.. igede youth must not relent on this else they will see us as minority and helpless.. our great God will see us through ..
Comrd. Andyson Iji Egbodo is the president Igede Youth council. Let is be corrected.
Oga comment on what is going on and leave name errors, this is one reason we are not united, people are being killed u d correct fool
It’s so painful and disheartened, the Lord will fight this.battle for us since the government is not serious about it
Oh God!! ???
Oh ! My father land is not longer a home I use to know,no freedom of movement,no service into our God,no farming, not even house to stay later if peace is restore,
See how a God general is being killed in his own land, oh God save us from the hand of Tiv militant and governor Ortom, it’s only God that can help us now because we’re sick and tired of fakes promises of governor Ortom.
I have said earlier that no amount of compensation is equivalent to the wasted lives when I head the news about the scholarship given to the abducted child.
They just used that to get People’s mind settled so that they will be able to penetrate more in Igede with their attack.
For how long will this mindless killings continue? After all the promises by the government, the killings still continue and nobody is saying anything. If we are still part of Benue state, the government must have to do something else we have to defend ourselves. RIP uncle till we meet to part no more
How can we live in our own land like strangers ! Do we really have governor in Benue at all! Ortom has failed people of Igede land, it has clearly shown that he is supporting his tribe , Tiv.
If you think the Government will protect you, you are yet dreaming let the people put their house in order and defend themselves. No one will come to your aid. except if you have not understand the body language of the government then sorry is your name. This is an ethnic cleansing. Fine out from Somalia
May their souls rest in perfect peace
May their souls rest in perfect peace
Why are all these happening to my people God.???????
So sad to hear. May God come to our rescue in this land. Amen
Great work by the admin and i pray for more insight towards the development of our great land.
May God heal and restore the peace of Igede Nation.
Amen!!!!
This is so sad?????? For how long are we going to continue bearing this? This is too much for us. government should try and do something before it’s too late, because Ortom is supporting his people and we can’t bear it any longer they are Killing our people day and night, and we know our father in heaven is going to fight for us. May their soul rest in peace ?????
Government do something ooo???
