The situation of things and are they are being handled by the govt is appaulling, we dont seem to be getting any more confident even in our so called millitary.

The insincerity on the part of the government is too glaring

The government shouldn't be embarrassed na. Is it not people that were killed that would be buried.

So they don't want the brutally killed to be given proper state burial but they allow killings to go on unabated?! The burial arrangement should be the least of their worries.

Thank God that they are at least embarrassed. If you don't want embarrassing mass state burials, simply prevent the killings, which cannot be compared to mere embarrassments.

Nigeria has never had it this bad!!!

SalamRushdie:
Clearly the Buhari govt doesn't want to make the mistake it made in Benue where the Benue Govt was allowed to retrieve the corpses and give them a decent state mass Burial that drew attention of the international community to the injustice goingvon in Nigeria .... If the killer herdsmen are not ashamed of killingvso many people the people too should not be ashamed of doings well publicised mass Burial for the dead .

The Killings in Nigeria is awful. The response of the Govt reeks of hypocrisy!
The military, the police aren't reliable and have become complicit!!
Do we keep praying but do nothing while hapless souls are slaughtered for cows?
Let's rise up and vote out this jihadist govt in 2019

2019 is too far, we should be shouting pmb must go! How many more lives should be lost before 2019? In fact, we need UN to intervene at this juncture.

So TY Danjuma was right after all. The military is accomplice in these killing and the federal government knows about it.

I think it be right for us to call the Fulani herdsmen "secret agents of the Buhari government".

And if they are Buhari's secret agent, what is their assignment?
To systematically wipe out the Christian population starting from the middle belt.

When they are done with the middle belt, they proceed southward until they install emirs all over the country and implement full sharia.

The military, DSS and the police are to serve as cover for this secret agents of government and provide them with all needed weapons and logistics. If not, why will the head of the military, DSS and police be Fulani?

Do people also notice that the military have been spending a lot of money on weapons while the economy crumbles. These weapons are been bought for this purpose and for 2019 election because if they are really buying weapons to fight boko haram, those sons of b1tches should really have been depleted.

Very good point! Just try and imagine another 4yrs of Pmb. That would be full consolidation.

In all dis jamboree, none of d security agencies talked about going for d perpetrators of dis crime. All am reading here is bringing normalcy, preventing further attacks and reprisals.. If dis Buhari government continues beyond May 2019, there definitely will be serious unrest in dis country. Am calling for southerners and other well-meaning Nigerians to get their PVCs and those southerners warming up to be part of adhoc staff that wil conduct d elections hoping to make illegal money by working for d APC government to know dat d faith of dis fragile country is in their hands. This government has brought untold suffering to d people of dis country.

why will it be in secret? Rip to the dead

Nigerian military and Fulani people are working hand in hand, no doubt about that.

You can see that the Fulanis and their supporters on land and online take any form of push back as an attack which they repay back by wilpping out villages. They expect the villagers to just sit back and wait for FG while the Fulani mecenary ruin their land or handle it as they deem fit. Unfortunately the guilty and the innocent on both sides are thrown into the mix. Govt wants grazing zones in each state or let the bloodshed continue. That is indirectly the govts stance. They will not build ranches. They want certain percentage of land in every state to belong to Fulanis which means every state would habour Foot soldiers for future use.

The burial of over 200 victims of the recent attacks in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State carried out by suspected Fulani herdsmen generated a serious controversy following allegations that security agencies want to carry out the exercise in secret.

Sources said that relatives of the deceased wanted to pick the corpses for burial because they have started decomposing, while tension continued to escalate despite the dusk to dawn curfew imposed by the government.

Already, some travellers coming in and out of Jos were said to have been killed.

The attack was said to have spread to a village called Kwi where an old woman who could not escape was reportedly killed while many houses were burnt.

The Chairman, Public Accounts and Petition Committee in Plateau State House of Assembly representing Barkin Ladi constituency, Peter Gyendeng, and the President of Middle Belt Youth Council, Emma Zopmal, in an interview with The PUNCH, believed that the planned secret burial was to cover up some facts and conspiracy of soldiers in the killings.

According to them, every effort they made to evacuate the corpses for burial met a stiff resistance from the military hierarchy.

But the Commander of Special Military Taskforce codenamed Operation Safe Haven, Maj. Gen. Anthony Atolagbe, explained that state of the corpses was so bad that if allowed to be taken away, it would stir up serious tensions and mayhem in the state.

Gyendeng said, “We tried to take all the corpses to give them mass burial. But the STF Commandant stopped every movement that we made concerning the dead bodies. In fact, he did not allow anybody to go there yesterday (Sunday). We organised our own security and mobile policemen to escort us there. But we were stopped on the road.

“Our people stayed there till 6:pm, we had to come back for security reasons too. The corpses are still there and they have started decomposing. I’m just entering my LG now to see what else could be done. We have taken pictures of the corpses.

“It is obvious that the government does not want the world to know the genocide that is happening in my place. They are trying to cover the number of dead people in that place. All we know is that there is genocide in our land. Today (Monday), they entered a village called Kwi, there was community resistance. In a village called Bed, they sent armed soldiers to come and disarm the local people who were defending themselves.

“Yesterday (Sunday), the Fulani militia wanted to enter the area. But now, soldiers have been sent to disarm the local people, leaving them helpless. We don’t know what is happening, it is something that cannot be explained. A curfew was imposed yesterday (Sunday). But the Fulani men and their cows were escorted by soldiers at night.”

The legislator promised to make the correct figure and gory pictures of the deceased available on Tuesday (today), during parliamentary sitting.

According to Zopmal, the affected communities should resist the planned secret burial because the corpses did not belong to the security agencies and the government.

He said, “The planned secret burial is a conspiracy, we know that there is collusion between the security agencies and the Fulani people. There is no way you can force people to bury their relations when they are not ready for it. The dead bodies belong to them, so they are not government’s corpses that they will now decide when to bury them.

“The affected communities should not allow that to happen. The security agencies did not protect them. Why should they decide the burial for them? It doesn’t make any sense, they are trying to cover up what they have done. It is all part of the same attitude that the Nigerian government has been exhibiting.”

While faulting the approach of the state government, the MBYC called on Governor Simon Lalong to “immediately lift the curfew and devise another means of protecting the people.”

But reacting to the allegation, Kwara State-born Atolagbe, told The PUNCH that he did not stop Berom ethnic nationality and relatives of the deceased from carrying the corpses.

According to him, the President of Berom Youth Moulders Association, Choji Dalyop Chuwang, and the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria, have agreed with him on what best should be done about the corpses to avoid another crisis.

Atolagbe also denied the allegation that trucks of cows were escorted by soldiers despite the curfew, while local vigilante natives were disarmed, saying, “nobody did that, it’s not true.”

When contacted, a male voice said the BYM President was with the governor over the crisis and would call back after the meeting.

During a brief chat with one of our correspondents, Choji Dalyop Chuwang said, “I am having a running stomach, if you give me a few minutes, I will attend to you.”

But several calls and SMS to him to confirm if really he approved the secret burial were not replied.

NAF, Police deploy helicopter, surveillance aircraft in Plateau

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Air Force has announced the deployment of an Mi-35P combat helicopter and an Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft in Plateau State in support of efforts aimed at stopping the escalation of crisis following the killing of over 200 persons by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

A statement issued on Monday by NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal Olatokunbo Adesanya, said apart from restoring normalcy, “the deployment of the ISR aircraft is expected to enhance intelligence gathering.”

Also, the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has deployed an intervention force in Barkin-Ladi, and Riyom in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State and in other flashpoints across the state.

In addition to the operatives, the IG also dispatched two helicopters for aerial surveillance, five Armored Personnel Carriers, three Police Mobile Force Units, two Counter-Terrorism Squads and Police Intelligence Unit as well as conventional police personnel from other states.

The force spokesman, acting DCP Jimoh Moshood, in a statement on Monday, said the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Department of Operations, Joshiak Habila, had been directed to relocate to Jos to coordinate and supervise the operation.

The police claimed their arrival in the state had restored peace and prevent further attacks in the affected areas,.

It further explained that the IG had directed the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Monitoring Unit to lead the Special investigation Team to the affected areas and other flash points.

Moshood implored the people to support the police while cautioning them against reprisals, adding that anyone in distress or with information should call 07059473022, 08038907662, 08075391844, and 09053872296

Meanwhile, the Plateau State government on Monday frowned on the manner in which gory pictures of victims were being circulated on the social media.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Yakubu Dati, advised citizens to respect the living and dead.

This killed was planned by presidency.

There will be no secret burial for victims of fulani terrorist massacre. Even it is only bones remaining, we will claim our loves ones and give them a decent burial.
The plan by satanic govt of buhari to bury victims of fulani terrorist massacre secretly as they did to Shites will never happen!!!
Secret burial is what buhari's satanic govt want to hide fact that ethnic cleansing is happening in Nigeria from the International community.

May God Destroy All The Ememies Of This Country Wherever They Are
May He Take Away Peace From Them And Give Them Pains.
Those Who Want This Evil Govt. Under Buhari And His Fulani Murderers To Continue Beyond 2019, May They Go BLIND Until After A New Government Which God Shall Choore Takes Over From Them.

God Knows That If I Discovered A Destructive Power, I Will First Cleanse Nigeria From Everything That Offends And Spills Blood.

omoharry:
revolution ke..Nigerians are too docile for any revolution..they would rather fast and pray for angel Gabariel to come down from heaven and save them....Danjuman told them they didn't listened( defend yourself, he told them) that the military have been compromised but they called his bluff..now what is happening..those that criticized Danjuma, did they wake to the occasion to protect the lives of those they told not to listen to Danjuma..Nigeria is a country where the live of the citizen are less than animals..its a pity.

WE REALLY NEED A COUP NOWOOOOOOOO

Anybody that votes for buhari come 2019 for money or sentiments will die like these ones..vote buhari and die.

Elslim:
regional government is the best solution

wrong.

division is the best and greatest solution.

GMBuhari:
There can't be secret burial when their death was not in secret and i doubt Nigerian government has the MIB flash that wipes memory

THE BODIES will be released or given mass burial

How do you feel each time you know that you have contributed to this mass murder?

skywalker240:

wrong.

division is the best and greatest solution.

division by what?? religion, region, tribe, geolocation, ethnic groups etc

hnnnmm!

Elslim:



division by what?? religion, region, tribe, geolocation, ethnic groups etc

ethnic groups, region, and all.

skywalker240:

ethnic groups, region, and all.

pls in ur infinite knowledge God granted u tell me for example if we divide by ethnicity how many countries will emerge from Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu gave this insight for which he was condemned, cornered and decapitated by the ONE-NIGERIANS:

"They are coming to elevate Hausa-Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replacing them with their kinsmen, to drive their ethnic domination of the Biafrans and other tribes in Nigeria.

The Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impunity and their masters will protect them"

Sir, Ironically that doesnt matter, since this contraption isnt worling (not even centuries from now)

but last i can memories, the east(a region) has been clamouring for division, but yall keep condeming them and always bringing up excuses (flimsy if u ask me) why they should not leave,..
Sir lets tell ourselves the truth, Restructuring, resource control, regional bush!t and all that will never see the daylight as long as the people in power knows their region wil find it hard to catch up. it will never happen.
