A leader of the Fulani ethnic
group has provided a detailed
insight into why his people
attacked the Agatu people of
Benue, sacking several
communities and killing
hundreds.
In an exclusive interview with
PREMIUM TIMES, Saleh Bayeri,
the Interim National Secretary of
Gan Allah Fulani Association,
rose in defence of his kinsmen,
saying the February bloody
conflict in Benue was a reprisal
attack by his people against the
Agatus who he accused of killing,
in 2013, a prominent Fulani man.
Gan Allah Fulani Association is
an umbrella body of Fulani
associations in Nigeria.
Mr. Bayeri said the killing of the
man reverberated amongst every
Fulani in West Africa.
He insisted that the Agatu
farmers were aggressors shedding
crocodile tears, and wondered
why former Senate President,
David Mark, was only just
realising the meaning of
genocide.
Mr. Mark, a one-time military
governor of Niger State, was last
week Friday attacked by
suspected Fulani herdsmen who
ambushed his convoy in Agatu
where he had gone for an on-the-
spot assessment of losses of lives
and properties.
In February, 10 Agatu
communities were razed and
hundreds, including women,
children and the elderly, were
reportedly massacred by
suspected Fulani herdsmen.

book haram

Change has given these people boldness, they kill, go to the press and give their reasons for razing a whole village because they know nothing will happen as far as bubu remains the President.

abeg all these space bookers, kindly find another thread biko

Since 2013, what is the problem with these fulanis? Very unforgiving and unrepentant people. So because the Agatus killed one man (who must have caused trouble) they waited 3 years for a reprisal attack and killed over 300 people....

Hmmm

they're terrorising innocent nigerians because their elder brother is the normadic president of nigeria. In nnamdi kanu's voice, mad people.

Well

Seems the Fulani people are above the law in Nigeria.

They wiped away a whole community just bcs of one man

That's serious

Islamists on rampage who will stop this evil ? God help us!!!

What nonsense..... So murderers and terrorists now go to the press to justify evil?

That man doesn't know what to say, just yarning nonsense!

If na iPod na, Buhari and our military will be flexing their muscle. Shame on these coward Agatu people.

Imagine the audacity

This is very serious... Imagine the effontery! Committing such heinous crime and rubbing it in their faces! Hmmm... You see what you guys who voted in their patron have caused?

Everything we warned you guys about is happening and you will still support them..

I'm done talking about stuff like this.

The most stupid reason ever
