House of Representatives member, Terseer Ugbor, has raised concern over the outbreak of fresh attacks by Fulani militia in Benue State, warning that the killings are escalating to an alarming dimension.
  
According to him, findings have revealed that over 40 per cent of arable farmlands in Benue State have been taken over by Fulani bandits.Ugbor, representing Kwande/Ushongu Federal Constituency of Benue State and chairman of the ad hoc committee on student loans in Nigeria, raised the alarm during a press conference in Abuja.
  
“The major problem with this issue is the food security that it is going to bring, especially on our people in Benue and Nigeria as a whole because, according to information, over 40 per cent of arable farmlands in Benue State have been taken over by Fulani bandits”, he said.
  
The legislator recalled the attack by Fulani herdsmen during the 2024 Christmas season in Kwande Local Council Area, a border community with Cameroon.  He said it became so bad that the bandits dared to attack an immigration outpost and the only standing security presence in the community with Cameroon and burnt it down.
