 Benue Governor Claims Foreign Terrorists Behind Deadly Attacks


Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has alleged that the perpetrators of recent deadly attacks in the state are not Nigerians, describing them as foreign nationals speaking unfamiliar languages and exhibiting non-Nigerian characteristics. The governor made the remarks on Tuesday following a wave of violence that has killed scores and displaced many in the North-Central state.


Speaking on the identity of the attackers, Governor Alia emphasized the need to clarify the nature of the threat. “We know Nigerians—by our ethnicities, we can identify a Fulani, Yoruba, or Hausa man. Even traditional herders, we know them, herding with sticks,” he said. “But these attackers come fully armed with AK-47s and 49s. They don’t bear the Nigerian look, and their language—Hausa or Fulani—is different, not like ours.”


Citing local intelligence, Alia suggested the assailants may be from Mali or other foreign regions. “Some of our people who understand their language say they are Malians, not Nigerians. Believe it,” he stated, noting that the attackers’ Hausa and Fulani dialects differ from those spoken locally.


The governor described the violence as a “new and more dangerous phase” compared to past conflicts with traditional herders. “The initial troubles were with herders, but what we are experiencing now has a strange, alarming face,” he said. “These terrorists are everywhere. We are under siege. They hit, kill, and run.”


Alia revealed that the attacks appear highly coordinated, with intelligence pointing to terrorist hideouts in Taraba, Nasarawa, and border areas of Cameroon. “The way these killings are planned is definitely coordinated,” he said, highlighting the porous borders with Cameroon as a factor.
