A Makurdi Chief Magistrates’ Court on Thursday ordered that 11 cattle rearers be remanded in the Correctional Centre, Makurdi, for allegedly terrorising Benue communities.

Ibrahim Mallam, Yunusa Waziri, Idi Usman, Adamu Manu, Abdullahi Wakili, Suleiman Umaru, Yakubu Mallam, Dauda Abdulkarim, Manu Buhari, Haruna Abdulkarim, and Nanzir Ishaya were the names of the cattle rearers.

The defendants were accused of criminal conspiracy, unlawful firearm possession, acts of terrorism, open grazing, and possession of cattle suspected of being stolen. They reside at different addresses in the Katsina-Ala Local Government Area.

Due to a lack of jurisdiction, Chief Magistrate Mr. Kelvin Mbanongun rejected their pleas.

For additional discussion, Mbanongun postponed the issue until July 7, 2025.

On June 1, a team of police officers assigned to Operation Zenda at Katsina-Ala received reliable information that a group of armed bandits, who were allies of a notorious bandit leader named Amakaa Akwaza, were spotted in their hideout at Nugu village with weapons, prosecutor Insp. Godwin Ato had previously told the court.

The prosecutor stated that after learning of the situation, a squad of Operation Zenda and Benue State Civil Protection Guards led by Insp. Donald Ahulu was assembled and sent to the hideout, where they engaged the hoodlums in a gunfight.

Some of the fully equipped robbers fled when the security personnel overpowered them in a hard gunfight, according to Ato. One AK-47 weapon with the breech number 6189 and 16 rounds of live ammo was found at the scene.

He added that when the suspected bandits were publicly grazing some of the cows on an adjacent farm and loading suspected stolen livestock onto a Mercedes Benz truck with the registration number TTM 405 XA Taraba, the security officers detained ten of them.

Wakili, the chief of the Fulani community in Katsina-Ala, was arrested after additional investigation, according to the prosecutor. Wakili has been closely collaborating with Akwaza to provide weapons to the herdsmen who are terrorizing Benue and the surrounding area.
