As peace gradually returns to Daffo rural communities in Bokkos Local Government of Plateau, the state’s Police Command has confirmed the arrest of a herdsman with a military AK 47 rifle. Mr Terna Tyopev, the command’s spokesman, who confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Jos, gave the rifle’s number as HC2614. He said that the herdsman, Muhammadu Musa Bimini, was arrested by mobile policemen on March 8, at Daffo. Tyopev said that the suspect had been transferred from Bokkos to the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Jos and was already being interrogated. The police spokesman said that 16 people had been confirmed killed in the multiple attacks on several villages that took place between Wednesday, March 7, and Friday, March 9. He said that the command had deployed more personnel to restore peace to the troubled areas, and advised the people to remain calm and avoid taking laws into their hands. Meanwhile, leaders of the affected communities have said that 25 people were killed in the attacks. The community leaders, who briefed newsmen on Sunday in Jos, said that many others were still missing. Represented by Rev. Mamot Adams and Mr Macham Makut, the community said that the bodies of those killed were recovered and given two mass burials – one on Friday, and another on Saturday. The community leaders blamed the attacks on “our Fulani neighbours’’, and listed villages attacked to include Nghakudung, Shilim, Morok, Mandung, Faram, Filla and Hotom. Also attacked were Dai, Kungul, Hurum, Dahua, Malul, Warrem, Josho and Ganda. They said that more than 5,000 people had been displaced, adding that some of them were in camps run by Churches. They called on security agencies to intervene toward halting the attacks so as to restore permanent peace to the communities. “We want government to take urgent steps to end the attacks because our youths are already agitated,’’ he said.

Fulani neighbors?
Not thing like Fulani neighbor or brother when they will you kid n the middle of the night.
Northern christians are their own wordt enemies.

A bomb has never gone off in Sokoto the caliphate. Neither has there been any story of herdsmen attack there.

It's a script written and carefully executed by the mafia of northern extraction

When are they taking him to court?

Until we see ourselves brothers and sisters rather than notherners/ southners; killing will continue

Until see ourselves as brothers and sisters and good neighbours, killing may not be abated

Jihadists keep striking the christian-dominated areas and someone still says these killings are irreligious.

It's okay if it's just your people.

Bubu, buratai and Ibrahim Idris all are on a jihad mission
These guys are wolves in sheep clothing very demonic set of people

I read somewhere that the futa jalon jihad led by usman danfodio tried to conquer benue but were stopped by some strong and tribes among them.

Since then they have been trying to get revenge on benue and conquer them to install their emir
