Nigeria is doomed! I live and work in Lafia and I want to give u guys a full gist of what really happened.
Everything boils down to 2015 gubernatorial race. The Egon people said they are tired of been ruled by foreigners (i.e migrants from Maiduguri) which the current governor Umaru Tanko Almakura and the emir of Lafia are and so they’ve started preparing for 2015 elections. The militia group actually recruited youths but they never did it forcefully, Egon youths voluntarily enlisted themselves because we never heard of such occurrence @ the church (Egons are predominantly Christians, say 98%). Sometimes, we see the militia group matching around Lafia peacefully with their black uniform not disturbing anyone or causing mayhem and even sometimes, we see their leader drive around his SUV robed with all sort of charms and we laughed.
The governor got scared because of the growing strength of the militia and even attacked them severally through Fulani herdsmen, they even killed a Fulani herdsman close to my house early this year.
The governor’s second shot was through the emir. He invited the chief priest to his palace and tried to charm him but the chief priest defeated him and it was even rumoured that the emir was dead that period. (RUMOUR)
Discovering that he couldn’t succeed with his Fulani herdsmen and the emir strategy, he decided to use the police, SSS and civil defence guys through the commissioner of police, one stupid Yoruba man that doesn’t know his job and really good at driving around Lafia with his dead BMW disturbing with siren sound. The commissioner fell for it and he sent his boys to arrest the chief priest of the militia. They claim to have gone there peacefully to arrest him, but ask why they went with machine guns. The killed some of the militia guys but the militia wiped them all, just about 6 of them escaped. I don’t think the militia group used guns because I went to the hospital where they deposited their remains (Dalahatu Specialist Hospital at Shendam road) and I saw deep cutlass cuts on them and I also saw stuffs like blue powder on them, they were burnt and were over 100 in number. Immediately this happened, the governor ran to Abuja and later ran to kano probably to meet with the emir. The commissioner cried all through but many don’t know why he cried. It’s because he’s to retire in 2 months’ time but now will likely face dismissal.
The candidate egons want to put forward is Solomon Ewugha (not sure of the spelling)

It seems by this account that the traditionalist was right in his account of the events that took place.

PAGAN 9JA:
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 . cry cry

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.

Bros the odds are just not on the police's side. How does a group take down even if its 27 + 15 cops that Hq says when the cops were the ones doing the ambushing....? Now they will put this albatross on GEJ and the NA. Abeg there is much that is GEJ's fault but some governors just purposely start stupid shit and pass the buck to the easily besmirched FG.

Seriously though this is a terrible time to be a police man, ur life expectancy is like 22 now cry cry

I swear I am not kidding around but I think the FG should use this militia to fight BH. I would love to see an all star match between the BH and the OT, e go be like WWF vs UFC!

Eazee-e:
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

The police commissioner needs to explain to the world why he sent 100 of his men to arrest a native doctor/traditional ruler, why on earth will some tribes and religions use the police to their advantage when ever they have crises with people they cannot defeat

dayokanu: Were they killing them with PS3 console?

Believe you me, the fallen cops were hacked down by "laser swords" akin to that of the "star wars", a fake but destructive version of that mentioned in Genesis 3:24 grin grin grin

Is it out of place to wish those traditionalists and cops whose physical lives ended violently, peace- aka "RIP"?

byteem: lets be realistic here .. its only because the police are on the loosing side here that's why we can hear all the seeming sides to the story .. if they succeeded in wiping out these people as they planned with their overzealous and unplanned attack .. they would have come out to call all of them bokoharamites and claim accolodes that they had gotten victory..

THE POLICE SHOULD NOT WORK WITH INSTINCT BUT WORK BASED ON PROPERLY VERIFIED INTELLIGENCE.. that has and always will be the problem of the Nigerian security agencies .. they simple lack intelligence .. information is king.. when you work with low level intelligence .. you put your men in danger and a massacre like this is what you get..

the I.G and all who approved that mission should resign and accept their failure..rather than cry foul for sending their men to die based on lame instinct ..

this brings back the argument for community policing .. this remains the only way to have proper intelligence gathering network... until we have and solve this intelligence drain in our security agencies the only thing to do is fold our hands and watch them killed like chickens..

Ladies and gentleman,

Like Militants, Like Boko Hamram, Like Massob, like these. All are manifestations of a failing state.

We can see the level of intelligence of our so-called security forces here. We can understand why Boko Haram has over-powered them.

We can see how "Agberos" have hijacked our government and ran it for their personal and tribes interests. We can see how the injustices in our land always gave rise to bigger crises.

Most importantly, we can infer how nepotism and corruption have allowed grossly incompetent people have taken over our leadership.

Nigeria must change or most of us will perish

Hon. Lord:
It's not good for all kinds of bad reports about Nigeria be coming-up everyday. Jus imagine that, police killed 9 of our members, you then killed 95 with matchet and knife. Is that possible?

Even if the police are not trained on how to shoot at the target, it's not easy to kill 95 of them with matchet when they are hold guns and tear gas. We should learn to always say the truth and express our greviance so that such mistakes will not happen again. If there is any offence from the village head, LGA chairman, Police head, State government or even the MAD Federal government. Tell the masses what is the root cause of the problem and the whole world will listen think of solution instead of this mass killing of civil servant.
the police reduced visibility by firing teargas, they very well could have been shooting at each other when the fracas started. by the way, the police are humans like you and me, just because they have guns does not make them super-human. before guns were invented, there where still world wars.
that said, what is this i am hearing about blue powder?
did the police see the cult leader before firing tear gas? they started the gra-gra, now see what befell them. are the eggons not nigerians as well?
people want the bama treatment for them as "justice" but decried the one at bama as injustice?
no time to dull.
