Chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) and the Governor of Niger State, Doctor Muazu Aliyu has reacted to the quit notice issued to Fulani residents of Mahanga,Kakuruk,Maseh and Shong 2 in Barkin Ladi and Riyom local Governments of Plateau State, urging the Special Military Task Force (STF) to exercise caution.

The Special Military Task Force had on Saturday asked inhabitants of the affected areas to vacate their domain immediately with their property, citing military action in the troubled villages.

Governor Aliyu warned that the 48 hour ultimatum issued by the STF could lead to breakdown of law and order not only in Plateau State but in other parts of the country.

A statement by Governor Aliyu’s spokesman, Danladi Ndayebo said the forum is worried by complaints from a section of the region to the effect that the vacation order represents a declaration of war by the military against a segment of the nation’s citizens.

The statement added that although the forum is not opposed to any action that will put a stop to the senseless killing of innocent people in the Plateau, it warned that the region cannot afford the likely negative consequences of the order that the Fulani herdsmen should vacate the said villages without providing alternatives.

The forum further advised the STF to work more closely with Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State instead of issuing unilateral orders that could further worsen the already bad security situation in the state.

It said the current security challenge in Plateau State has provided the opportunity for all stakeholders to sit down and solve the Indigene-settler problem once and for all

Governor Aliyu warned that the 48 hour ultimatum issued by the STF could lead to breakdown of law and order not only in Plateau State but in other parts of the country.

Enough of the nonsense! Let law and order break down.
Boko haram has already claimed the last Fulani herdsmens massacre as their handwork, so it is left for the security services and army to go after any identifiable vestige of boko haram.

I think the 48hrs ends tomorrow - we will see who 'Blinks' first.

Useless violent Fulani tribe

Why this misinformation and propaganda? I know at least three of these Villages and mostly populated by Beroms, not Fulanis. Why the propaganda that the STF is chasing away Fulanis? There are also Igbos, Yorubas, Hausas etc doing business in those areas and asked to all leave, but all we hear is that the military is undertaking a Genocide against Fulanis. When there is flood or security threat, you mean people should not be alerted to leave an area for the overall safety of everyone??

^^^^^^Brain touch

when the fulanis were killing people, and bokoharam were bombing churches,the northern governors forum didn't say a word,now that the fulanis have been ordered to evacuate the come out to defend them,i hope this northern governors are not the sponsors of this crisis?

They should be escorted to the Sahara Desert where they rightly belong

they should start with the Govnor for saying so...they fulani' ppl should leave tiz villages...since they are his ppl...he shld send buses to pick his ppl up...and make provisions for them....in his state...

Can't wait for the deadline to elapse.

these northern governors have now found their voices to speak abi. these ethnic clashes with host communities and normadic herdsmen is the handiwork of politicians that train and arm theme as mercaneries as protection when they enchroach farmlands.

we all know most of these cattle rearers have never seen a riffle before talk more of shoting them.

The reason y we issue d fulani in bakin Ladi to vacated is to ensure we(stf) carry our operation with effective free minds dat there are not innocent cilivans in is area dat we r going conduct is operation,we r going in full force against is enemies d r still hidin among d fulani,bush n rocks we declared is a war zone and we wouldn't want a situation were innocent fulani to be caught in is battle before media will say we were order to kill fulani people as a revenge by gov jang and berom people,yes is not a easy task for us,fulani people or government but must put measures to acquired peace,my mum is a fulani but u nid to see wat is happening there is noting to feel sori for,just Imagine a child of 7months in d bush with is dead mum still trying to wake is mum from sleep is so bad,only for a monkey Kal aliyu to said is not fair n same fools wil mak noise if start our operation n stared bullet Kill innocent fulani,after is operation fulani people wil return back not dat we say d should leave forever,GOD bless Nigeria army,GOD bless Nigeria

[b]Boko Haram: Northern Christian Group Responds to CPC Chieftain

A Christian group, Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN) has responded to the statement credited to he chief strategist of the Congress for Progressive Change, controversial former minister, Nasir Elrufai, who yesterday threatened the government with reprisals should they go ahead with their attempts to go after suspected Fulani herdsmen and mercenaries who had unleashed a reign of terror in Plateau state in the last few weeks, killing hundreds of innocent people including a serving senator and a member of the Plateau State House of Assembly.

Elrufai had posted an inciting post on his twitter and facebook profile.

In response, Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN) issued the statement below;

The Masquerade Has Been Unmasked

"Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria (CHAIN) notes with dismay the reaction of the Northern Muslim establishment to the recent order by the Plateau State Special Military Task Force to certain Communities to temporarily evacuate their villages in order to minimize civilian casualties as the Military perform internal security operations to find and arrest mercenaries who were behind the deaths of hundreds of innocent Nigeria citizens including a serving Senator and a member of the Plateau State House of Assembly.

We are astounded that these characters who were curiously silent when the mercenaries were killing innocent men, women and children have suddenly found their voice when it comes time to detect and apprehend those behind these killings.

What are we missing here? Are these characters in support of these mercenaries or in support of the Nigerian state? Where was the voice of Nasir Elrufai ,Dr Tilde ,Dr Babangida Aliyu  and those now vocal against the planned action to go after the killers when the mercenaries carried out a series of genocidal attacks?

These same people who are threatening bloodshed in 2015 if they do not win elections are now threatening the Nigerian state if the military should go ahead and conduct their internal security operations. Is it not time to ask if they have been the ones sponsoring these attacks? Shall we continue to breathe the putrid air and pretend that we do not know who amongst us has fouled the air?

Only a couple of days ago, these same folks were in the media raining insults on the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, when he testified before the U.S. Congress and asked that they designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. How can any sane person attack such a move? Do they know more than they  are saying?

When the Shehu of Borno and the Deputy Governor of Borno state were almost killed by Boko Haram, Pastor Oritsejafor led the Christian community to condemn the attack. But when three churches were attacked in one weekend in Kaduna where Dr Babangida Aliyu Chairman NGF,Dr Tilde ,Elrufai and many of their supporters live they were silent and only spoke to condemn the reprisal killings.

The world is watching and we say very clearly that we support the patriotic decision of the military authorities to issue a temporary evacuation order to the Fulani communities in Plateau state so that they can avoid civilian casualties as they hunt for the murderers and terrorists who killed hundreds of innocent victims. This tactic has been used in Europe and America and is a civilized practice covered by the Geneva Convention and meant to stem civilian casualties.

We therefore call on all and sundry in Plateau to ignore the call by these selfish religious and regional champions and like minded individuals who have asked them to ignore the military order and stay put. To Dr Babangida Aliyu and Elrufai who has threatened that the Fulanis would retaliate if any of them are killed we at Christian Awareness Initiative of Nigeria say that the masquerade has eventually been unmasked and we hope that the authorities are watching. We also call on the International Criminal Court to take cognizance of this statement by these regional champions and their co travelers with a view to bringing them to justice wherever and whenever."

Its not funny when people like Gov. Aliyu(who by the way is nt a servant governor,iDigress) would be saying such.iHave heard from several sources that his decendants a fulani,so it doesn't beat me dat he has come out 2defend his people(sic?).
#watching developments keenly

These same bigots will be blaming the military if we have high "civilian" casualties due to the military operation. They just want the status quo of killing women and children in their sleep to contnue. Sorry, that's gotta stop.

War, war, everywhere

well my advice is jst for us to see ourselves firstly as nigerians nt pple dt are sectional or sort of religious bigot.this @ d bck of our mind it mkes our contrbutions on d forum more intelligently sound.d country is complex dan wht most of us think it is.one question we shd ask is my is it dt suddenly d berom man & d hausa fulani can no longer co exist?food for thought

[size=15pt]IF THIS WOULD PROVIDE A SOLUTION THEN IT WOULD BE WISE TO RELOCATE THE HAUSAS TO THE SOUTHWEST FOR THE TIME BEING . THE YORUBAS AND HAUSAS SHARE RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL SIMILARITES MORE THAN ANY OTHER TRIBE IN NIGERIA . SO THIS WOULD BE THE BEST OPTION FOR THE TIME BEING.[/size]

The military should do whatever they plan to do if aliyu wan breakdown of law and order let it be so. We don prepare for dis war for so long. Idiots in the seat of power, imagine what a governor is opening his mouth to say. Someone show me his comment on the bomb blast yesterday if there is any?

Ok so let me get the story straight.

The army ordered FULANI/HAUSA to leave those areas?

or they ordered EVERYBODY to leave?\




IF ITS THE FIRST ONE, ARE YOU PEOPLE AWARE THAT IS A DECLARATION OF GENOCIDE?

if the fulani refuse to leave those places, which incidentally they claim to be their ancestral villages (rightly or wrongly, you would have to be a stupid person to take sides), what will the army do? WILL THEY NOT RESORT TO KILLING THEM?

and IS THAT NOT KILLING THEM SIMPLY ON GROUNDS THAT THEY ARE HAUSA/FULANI? is every hausa/fulani human a killer/terrorist?

[size=18pt]IS THAT NOT STATE SANCTIONED, OFFICIAL GENOCIDE?[/size]
so the solution to the underground war there is for the govt to make genocidal revenge official?



i can see already that you folks are applauding and saluting the move, spewing forth the names, cattle rearers, etc.

is this not the same thing that happened in rwanda? Hutu and Tutsi? u honestly think that the army will kill fulani men on the order of a well hated southern president and the whole matter will simply go like that?

This ND pple do not surprise me anymore sha, i guess this is the revenge for ODI right?


I hope the right thinking humans on this forum finally see what beaf and his cohorts are really like. i hope when the shit hits the fan, you pple will be ready and willing to take the heat.


oh and by the way, you ijaw president is busy preparing his region for eventualities. the high seas are patrolled by tompolo, he over the weekend secured the services of a well known mercenary known to be well involved in numerous insurgencies and unrests around the world. he was given a $850 million oil deal.


i hope you "flies" will not follow the pile of shit into the pit latrine o

LMAO, you no serious. But to be honest they are already there. When they start killing in the south west it will be very bad and casualties will be high because they are everywhere there.I remember when travelling to or from the north back in the day. If you get to places like Eyenkorun, Ogbomoso, Iwo etc. The fulani population in those places is very high. They come out of the jungle in very high numbers when ever they have a celebration.

U all fools,wat Babangida Aliyu said is very tru.is there any Boko Haram in dis Country? I don't think so,dis government knows what they are doing,why is all this BOMBs only happened in d north? Do u think somebody will like 2 destroy his own house? Again 99 percent of the victims of BOKO HARAM are muslims,like OKA HENRY said government are behind ALL this BOMBINGS. If something like this happened w we shouldn't be bias. Are this ppl (fulanis) not nigerians? Y mst dey be EVACUATED? U fOolS this Government can't do anything 2 ISLAM and the MUSLEMS. Islam is a religion of peace not terrorist as claimed by US and 9ja,go nd do a research abt Islam ok?
