News reaching our desk from Benin in Edo State Nigeria reveals that Herdsmen is at it again! According to the report we got from unknown person claimed the herdsmen at early hour of Wednesday the 7th February had stopped passenger vehicles en route to Lagos, robbed and shoot to death the passengers, subsequently mounted a roadblock with one of the vehicles and had many other vehicle and the passengers fall victims to their shooting spray with no interference from any security agents.She lamented that as she was speaking that many are dead, that her vehicle and one other was the only vehicle en route to Lagos at the moment that survived the onslaught.

According to one of the eye witnesses, she said that the security agents who was deployed to the scene of the crime were unable to curtail the criminals because they seems to have possessed more sophisticated weaponry than the police and so had a free day. The police were on the run as were the civilian passengers who narrowly excaped being massacre by the heartless and unchecked herdsmen.

One of the ladies who spoke on the voice message also pleaded with those who wanted to travel through Lagos/Benin expressway to have a change of mind or possible take another route if need be to avoid falling victim to the herdsmen onslaught. She also call on the government to put sentiment aside and check the activities of these so called herdsmen before it goes out of hand.

Many of the source we contacted confirmed the incident and condemned the heartless killings by the Herdsmen and also regretted that the government and the security agents could not check this hoodlums. Some of them believed the act was not in anyway, the act of robbery but a terrorist attack on the innocent citizen and wondered what the federal government is doing about the recent activities of the herdsmen in the country.

The questions in every mind at the moment are, why are these men killing their fellow citizen senselessly? is this another boko haram in disguise? does it mean that the government can't put a stop to this senseless killing before it set our dear country on unquenchable ethnic and political fire or do they have anything to gain in this? what is wrong with our country? don't we value human lives anymore? is there hope for us and the posterity? if there is, when, where, how, and who is to bring it to reality? These and many more like questions continually bug our minds until probably an answer to them is proffered but until we have to hope for the best for our dear country.
