“I was closing from the farm with my husband when we were attacked by three Fulani herdsmen. My husband was leading the way while I followed from behind. They pursued us as my husband and I took our separate ways. They couldn’t find my husband and followed me, arrested me, beat me, insert their rod in my vagina and left it there. I tried and removed it . I was rescued by soldiers but I lost my two months pregnancy. We live at Yogbo. I have two kids.”

The husband, Akaanger Ato from Utyondu, Mbabai, Guma LGA of Benue State who is thankful to the soldiers for rescuing his wife said he thought he will not meet her alive when he heard her screaming.

He said he didn’t imagine that the Fulani who came to graze in their village would attack them. “Those with cattle had left and the others left behind: Two of them had rifles, one with stick. As we approached them they opened fire. I ran in my direction while she run in her direction. They aimed at me forgetting my wife and when they saw that they will lost both of us they followed my wife. I heard her scream and said to myself that I thought I will leave with my wife but now couldn’t? I reported to the soldiers who are in the village and together with them we moved to the point of the incidence. As we approached, we saw her as she struggled out of the spot. I was actually going to pick her dead body but I met her alive.
