BENUE KILLINGS


Dedicated to the victims of Omusu village, Ojigo Ward, Edumoga in Okpokwu Local Government Area of the state by suspected herdsmen







But they are not murderers 
In their sleep, why do they kill the villagers? 
They took up guns and cutlasses 
Maiming an adolescent in her mother’s arms

Cannot you see there is too much bloodshed? 
How long shall we keep sucking human blood? 
Who told you your acts will not be judged?
For the guilty ones also justice will bleed

Children are homeless, mothers are devastated 
Our fathers are afraid to step out on broad day light 
You ignorant fools, fighting someone else’s war 
Do not let it be too late before you shut the door
