 An appreciation of the armed forces: weeklong actions across multiple theatres By Bayo Onanuga Some Nigerians and armchair analysts are often quick to criticise the Federal Government for perceived shortcomings in security, highlighting isolated incidents such as kidnappings, improvised explosive devices, suicide bombings, and attacks in parts of the country. Such perceptions, however, tend to downplay and discount the heroic exploits of members of the Nigerian armed forces, saddled with the responsibility of countering the evil machinations of God-forsaken non-state actors, who operate like guerrillas.  My position is reinforced by the security reports I receive daily from Zagazola Makama, a journalist who has emerged as a counter-insurgency expert in Nigeria.

 VILLAGERS PROTESTS AS HERDSMEN KILL CATHOLIC CHOIRMASTER, OTHERS IN BENUE


20th September, 2025  

Traffic on the busy Makurdi–Abuja highway was on Saturday brought to a standstill as hundreds of angry villagers from Achakpa community, Agan, in Makurdi LGA of Benue State, blocked the road in protest against the killing of their loved ones by suspected armed Fulani herdsmen.


The attack, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday, September 20, 2025, on the outskirts of Achakpa community along the North Bank–Lafia road, claimed the lives of a man identified as Tor Felafa, his son, and Mr. Francis Kulegwa, a senior choir master of Daudu Mission in the Catholic Diocese of Makurdi.


Several others were abducted, while many narrowly escaped, with some persons still missing.


Eyewitnesses said the victims were ambushed while working on their farms behind the village, a tactic the assailants allegedly used after closely monitoring farming activities in the area.


The protesters, who blocked the Garba–Atson–Abagena IDP camp axis of the highway, carried placards and tree branches, chanting solidarity songs and vowing not to vacate the road until justice is served.
