Meanwhile, in an interview with Sunday Vanguard, the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, said herdsmen had lived with the people across the country for decades, hinting that those behind recent killings could have been foreigners.

Specifically, Arase said the killers could have been armed men displaced from their countries by the Libya and Mali crises.

The same PMB that ordered the military to crush NDA hasn't ordered the same military to crush fulani herdsmen. We are watching.

People suspected to be herdsmen, yesterday, attacked Coromo and two other villages in Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State, killing about 12 persons and wounding about 18 others seriously. Local sources said those killed included seven men, two women and children, while 13 houses were burnt.

Information about the attack was sketchy, last night, but it was said that the herdsmen launched the attack following a long standing land dispute over farm lands. The herdsmen reportedly stormed the town in the night and started attacking Tivs who had come back to farm on their lands. It was said that hundreds of the natives fled to neighbouring villages while others ran to the Gassol B Police Divisional headquarters for their safety.

Efforts to speak with Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joseph Kwaji, were fruitless as he did not pick calls to his mobile telephone, but sources at the police headquarters confirmed the incident, saying that armed policemen had been dispatched to the affected communities to maintain peace. The Taraba incident came on the heels of the massacre by suspected herdsmen in an Enugu suburb which triggered outrage.

Before then, there had been reported attacks by suspected herdsmen across the country.

The more you look, the less u see!!!

omenka:
The story says "suspected herdsmen" and the title says "herdsmen". In no part of the body of the story was "Fulani" mentioned, but the op just had to give his own preferred title "Fulani herdsmen" and it was moved to the fp without due diligence.

Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, you people should play your part in addressing this stereotype. This nonsense is being promoted while you guys look the other way.

I still believe in the following conspiracy theories;

1) The recent falani herdsmen attacks is perpetuated by Boko haram in disguise.

2) The south east or south south, are framing up this act to destabilize the present administration (note, I am not political incline, and I don't care who is in power, but nothing is impossible).

3) The herders developed confidence more than ever to wage war against other region in other to islamize, and dominate (the falanis are nomad who migrate into north east in the 1808 to propagate islam religion. Leads by Usmal Danfodio)


The government needs to be swift in its responsible if it doesn't want civil war which is looming to break and shatter us all.

May God save us.

The green bolded, hope y'all can see it? I'm pointing this out before some NLers say that it was the villagers who started attacking them.

The red bolded, he prolly doesn't want them to 'replace' him like they did his Enugu counterpart.

The blue bolded, isn't that an indictment on the police and immigration officers that they aren't able to protect the borders of the countries if foreigners can just come in to cause havoc?

Feraz:
What in the world is wrong with you? So the SS/SE were the ones that framed the numerous attacks that happened in Agatu, Plateau, some parts of Middle Belt and now, this one in Taraba? How low can you get? Keep denying till it gets out of hand.

Bassee:
Evil, just Evil! You know what's sickening about all these? The loud silence from Aso Rock! Buhari knows how to order the crushing of militants and Biafra warlords but his brothers walk around the country and assign more value to the lives of cattle and nothing is being done. To all of you who want patience and support from Nigerians, it's freaking too late! And I blame Buhari, I blame Northern Nigeria and I blame the APC. These people destroyed all bits of humanity the average Nigerian had. Every gunshot, every bomb blast was seen as a victory against Jonathan. Some even prayed silently for more bombs to go off so they could rush to social media and "crocodily" cry on the graves of the innocent. The tables have turned today, no one cares anymore and I pity the average Fulani who has no hand in all these. Every Fulani man today in the south is seen as a potential terrorist. Buhari can junket all he wants, fight Saraki like we care but he doesn't have the faintest idea of what he's messing with. Very soon he'll speak, but he won't speak because the herdsmen are killing, but because he won't be able to contain the shock when Nigerians in the south storm Northern settlements and exact vengeance on the people there. What happened in Aba is just a tip of what's to come, the people are angry, taking blood will soon start feeling like drinking water. We on this side can only watch and pray.

crownbryan:


I am not pointing accusing finger on any tribe. It is just a conspiracy theory and it not in possible.

The Boko haram, were Hausa/falanis predominately in the north, but they spread their operation to other part of Nigeria during the cause of their violent agitation.

As information is viral, the movement of terror can not be curtail by the strikers.

Who we need is prayer and preparation. Being tribalitic and religion bigotry only spite hate and backwardness for this country. Let's look inward, then outward and way forward.


It just a theory.

affirmations that they were fulanis herdsmen were several in the body of the news...so wot do u mean?
