Benue: Week of Sorrow, Tears and Blood

It was the second day into the new year. The poor Benue farmers just had a feel of the festive time of Xmas and New Year and had resumed farm work. Little did they know that an evil loomed.

The result was a national sorrow, a land drenched in tears and a state soaked in the blood of innocent citizens.
