Fresh tension brew in Agatu community in Benue State over the ceding of Agatu lands to Fulani herdsmen as community leaders, some members of the state House of Assembly raise an alarm alleging danger.
Entonu, one of the community leaders called attention to the impending mayhem resulting from the previous invasion of Agatu communities sometimes last year.
According to him, “We have to alert the world early before we witness mayhem in Agatu land because Agatu Local Government Caretaker Committee Chairman and some irrelevant self-acclaimed stakeholders in connivance with Benue State governor recently entered into despicable transactions to cede our community to herdsmen for grazing.
“This despicable act of ceding Agatu lands to Fulani herdsmen through the illegal agreement is a dangerous act capable of causing mayhem in the community.
Continuing he called the attention of the Federal Government to the looming danger and called for prompt intervention before things get out hand.
His words:“It is therefore imperative to state categorically that the entire people of Agatu and the 10 district heads are calling the attention of security agencies and the Federal Government to quickly intervene before this hideously contrived conspiracy to exterminate the people of Agatu becomes a reality. Let me also remind the House that our people are yet to recover from the last Fulani herdsmen attack in June last year,” cautioning that the entire Agatu community was uptight and ready to protect its land and people.''
Similarly, Alhaji Sule Audu the member representing Agatu state constituency at the Benue state House of Assembly,insisted with all emphasis that on no condition would any part of Agatu be ceded to the Fulanis.
Correcting the errorneous impression on the peace pact signed earlier , he said it clearly stipulated that Fulanis would not be seen in any part of Agatu until after harvest at the end of February, stressing that the current occupation of Fulanis in Adapati community of Agatu was completely illegal.
