Ombatse Traditionalists: Police Killed Our Nine Members Before We Killed 95 Of Them

A man who admits to be an Ombatse traditional religionist in Nassarawa State has told SaharaReporters their group killed 95 policemen today, nearly four times the 23 the police have admitted.

Earlier, Abayomi Akeremale, the State Police Commissioner, said, "The Ombatse gunmen opened fire on our men, killing 23 and burning them," Nassarawa state police chief said, adding that 17 officers remain missing.

Akeremale said the security forces decided to arrest some Ombatse leaders after they receive reports they were embarking on forced conversions in the village of Elakyo, near Lafia, the Nassarawa capital.

Speaking through an interpreter on the phone, the traditional religionist denied shooting at the policemen, saying his groupresponded only with machetes and knives, not bullets, and only after the police had killed nine of their members.

Denying that they have been committing force conversions in mosques and churches, he said the policemen arrived in 12 patrol trucks and opened fire on his group.

“We were in our place performing our rites, when our members alerted us that police may come for our father and leader,” he said. “Suddenly that day, the armed police came with guns and we say what happened? They did not answer us but started spraying teargas on us and killed nine of our members. In return for self defence we killed 95 of them, we have no guns it was machetes that we used in defending ourselves and eventually killed them. There is nothing like gun attacks.”

On attacking mosques and churches, the sect member, first pointing out he has not been instructed to speak, denied the reports.

“We don’t do that,” he told our reporter. “Our group is serious about morality, we are against liquor and don’t harbour it, no sleeping with men and no stealing. We are on our own seeking protection for our own people, and the police just entered us.”

This is not a joking matter, believe me. 95 police men?! is this another BH in the making? I tell you, it appears the amnesty given to the ND boys and the continued sustenance in the name of rehabilitation, coupled with the planned amnesty and compensation for BH is an incentives for other groups to spring up. This is how BH started, attacking police and their station. Before you know it now, this ones too will start crying for amnesty. And if you think amnesty has not been given to the yoruba group not to raise their own millitants too, then find out what causes quarrel between Fredrick Fasehun and Gani Adams recently

TearGas Killed 9 of them but 11 trucks of kalashnikov wielding policemen couldn't kill them

Some of us that know these places can vouch that their is notin like d attack of mosques n churches as claimed by d Governor but rather dey hav been countering fulani attacks on eggon farmers which eventually led 2 d attack of d governors village when d fulani were traced down there by them. Dont 4get d governors elder broder been d village head escaped narrowly 4rom them. Hence d trap in which they hav fallen into n now d military hav a new job 2 do which is exactly d wish of d governor

yeepa!!! omo see triple gobe for nigeria, so this people killed a whole over 90 human beings and yet they were proud to speak it out, so if jonathan order the army killer squard to destroy both living and non living things in that town they we say jonathan is wicked.

Alxmyr:

Fifteen thousand cowries will do. Deal?

and,how am i gonna pay u?

95 + 9 human souls (sons, fathers, bread winners, husbands) at a go?

Oh my world.

Will we ever know the truth?

Police killed 9 of u and u killed 95 of dem to teach dem more dan enof lesson ryt? Is nigeria police rili a force? 9 ratio 95.police FORCE indeed.wot nigeria police is gud at is d case of whoeva steal phones.95% of nigeria policemen shld go back to trainin schl.anyway,may their souls rest in peace

I strongly believe the Governor should be held responsible for the waste of human resources. I find some posts here very instructive. But were the police not armed? Could African magic have played any role?

Chaiiiii, abeg make them no provoke this group wey kill 95 policemen with machete and police kill only 9 of them. If this people begin show them self boko haram and ND militants go be childs play oo.
And they kill all these police men and they cld not even get to their oga at the top.

If the boys kill 95 police, wetin oga at the top go do?

IHENEMEKWA!

When will the killings end?
OGA JONAH your administration don kill people sha

I wanted to say you are stoopid, but then I read tru d rules n decided not to call you stoopid

Wen d policemen went for massacre, did GEJ send em?do you knw who's the Chief Security officer of a state?

Dem policemen no knw wetin be 'rules of engagement'?

Aw did you reach 40/ 95 widows? Were the 40/95 policemen all married with kids?

Aw did you reach over 9okids sef?

I blame free MBs wey eti or mtn or hairtel dey dash u

ok this is ludicrous and unbelievable.

just look at the points below:

A bunch of gun-wielding policemen storm a Traditionalist shrine and try to desecrate it.

The charges against the Traditionalists are forced conversion in mosques AND churches . (can you bliv that?)



The POlicemen are armed with machine guns , bullet-proof trucks,etc.

Traditionalists are armed with machetes and knives .

Police kill 9 of them.


Traditionalist Pagans kill 95 Policemen ! (the size of a small Army)


There are only 2 possibilities:

Either the police were roaming around blindfolded in the shrine.

Or

The Gods of the Shrine struck 95 of them down with thunder.

*smh

anyways sha, people should stop harrasing the Eggon peoples. They are actually a very peaceful people.
