Police Arrest Invading Herdsmen In Benue by Stallion77(f): 6:22pm On Jun 13, 2013
The Police have arrested two Fulani herdsmen alleged to be behind the invasion of Ichama community in Okpokwu local government area of Benue State which led to the death of five people.

The state Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, DSP Daniel Ezeala who disclosed this to newsmen yesterday disclosed that the suspected herdsmen were apprehended by security men when they were attempting to escape to a neighbouring state.

Similarly, Juliana Obeta, chairman of Okpokwu local government council, who also spoke to newsmen on phone yesterday, said that the suspected herdsmen were apprehended close to Enugu State.

She said all the cows carted away by the marauders were recovered and returned to the Catholic Diocese in Ichama.

Obeta who commended the policemen for prompt response to the ugly development also praised the youths in the council area who she said went extra mile into the bush to assist the security operatives to search for the fleeing Fulani herdsmen.

According to her, “the joint efforts of both the security men and our youths who braved the odds and went into the bush in search of marauders helped in apprehending the Fulanis and all the cows stolen’.

It would be recalled that the marauders invaded Ichama community in the council area on Monday night, killed people and carted away 40 cows belonging to Otukpo Catholic Diocese.

But the state secretary of Myetialla Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria, Garus Gololo said the attack was not perpetrated by the Fulanis but by unknown gunmen.

It is high time the excessive activities of the Fulanis in the middle-belt region of the country is controlled.People are been killed by Fulanis in these parts and nothing has been done to curtail these excesses.They invade your farms and when you restrict them,the next thing is that they attack.FG need to address this matter as it is getting out of hand.

Association of Nigeria, Garus Gololo said the attack
was not perpetrated by the Fulanis but by unknown
gunmen.

What sort of crude unrefined tale is this? If the fulanis were not the perpetrators, then, why were the cows recovered from them.
I'm thinking there made be other indigenous accomplices among them.

Hausa= small education, domination

Fulani=no education, killing and raiding and sleeping with their cows shocked

Middle belt(Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Adamawa)= more education, being raided and killed and does nothing about it undecided tongue

Igbo= Reasonable levels of education= robbery, business, respectable positions in industry smiley

South-South= low levels of education, militancy, kidnappings, oil bunkering, hot-headed, chief robbers lipsrsealed

Yoruba= very high levels of education= fear fear, accomodating and peace loving, reasonable and very literate wink
