Our findings did not support the claim that Agila people either directly attacked or masterminded the attack on Umuogodo-Akpu of Ebonyi State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are surprised at the attempt by the Ebonyi State Governor to change the narrative and find scapegoats for an action everyone, including the survivors themselves said was carried out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/04\/29\/suspected-fulani-herdsmen-hack-couple-to-death-in-benue\/\">Fulani herdsmen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the attack first occurred, even without any form of verification, and against the avalanche of evidence that it was carried out by Fulani herdsmen, Governor Umahi had hurriedly accused Agila people of responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, two weeks after, in order to validate his earlier assertion, Governor Umahi is laying blame on the Agila people even as he has accepted that the attack was actually carried out by Fulani herdsmen. He now says that the herdsmen were hired by Benue people. Even a gullible public will find this difficult to swallow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deputy governor insisted that if the governor refuses to provide evidence to substantiate his claims, it would be interpreted to mean incitement against the people of Benue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that it is now pertinent to request the Governor of Ebonyi State to make available all evidences, if any, of Agila\u2019s involvement in the said attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOtherwise, we in Benue will have no choice but to conclude that the Governor\u2019s unfounded clai\u00e3m amounts to inciting his people against Agila people and by extension Benue State.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Benue state government has expressed its disappointment over the claims of Ebonyi state governor, Umahi that the Agila people of Benue are responsible for the recent attack on Umwuagodo-Akpu community.
