Dreaded Ombatse Leader Killed In Dawn Raid by Trailblazer1(m): 3:25pm On Nov 17, 2014
Baba Alakyo, the spiritual leader of the Ombatse, an Eggon group, was feared killed alongside the village head in an early morning raid on Alakyo, near Lafia, Nasarawa State yesterday, Daily Trust learnt.

Alakyo is the village where about 74 security operatives were ambushed and killed on May 7, 2013. It was burnt down along with other Eggon settlements of Fadaman yBauna and Akura, displaced persons said. Scores were said to have been killed.

The invasion happened barely a day after Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura led a peace walk round Lafia, the state capital in celebration of his 62nd birthday.

Barrister Zachary Zamani Allumaga, Legal Adviser of the Ombatse group which has been proscribed by the state government, said information available to him showed that Baba Alakyo and the village head of Alakyo were killed in the raid which he blamed on the Fulani. He however later sent a text message to say the information on the killing of Baba Alakyo may have been cooked by “those who don’t mean well for peace”.
 
He said Fulani gunmen stormed Alakyo from four directions, killed scores and burnt property.  
Villagers said the raid was carried out at about 5:30am, taking the villagers by surprise. It was difficult to locate any source within the village, but persons displaced from neighbouring settlements told Daily Trust that heavy and sustained gunfire was heard at dawn in the village.

They said a large band of militia group suspected to be members of the Ombatse tried to enter Alakyo to save the settlement but went late as it had already been taken by the Fulani militia. They said the Fulani militia also burned down four brand new Toyota Hilux vans. The militia was said to have also entered Fadaman Bauna and Akura, two other Eggon settlements and raided them, killing dozens. An Eggon leader who hails from Akura told Daily Trust on phone that he narrowly escaped death, calling it genocide against his tribe.

He fiurther said: “From the information we have received, Baba Alakyo was killed”. Allumaga, the Ombatse leader, alleged that the Fulani came from Wamba, a neighbouring local government area.

Hussaini Mohammed, the state secretary of the Miyetti Allah, a Fulani group, denied that Fulani people were on genocide against the Eggon people, just as he  denied knowledge of any invasion by his tribesmen.

The state’s Head of Service, Dr. Dominic Bako, escaped death when he ran into a road block mounted by gunmen along the Lafia-Akwanga road during the bloody violence. Bako was shot on his left arm and was rushed to Lafia where he was treated at the Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital.  He could not identify the gunmen, but said they were in a large number and had gathered along the road.

No matter the juju you use for protection, no body is immuned to death.

Lesson:
Atheists don't believe in God, but there Nigerian counterparts are afraid of juju.

They don't fear God but they fear Satan.
Go to ombatse in nasarawa and explain big bang theory to them. Then you will know that juju doesn't understand big bang theory.

But their legal adviser said Baba Alakyo purported killing might have been cooked up by people who do not mean well for Alakyo.

Meaning that he is alive and kicking.

There is nothing good about it, if this is true and his death weakens the Ombatse cult, then the way has been paved for genocide on the Eggon tribe by Fulanis in colaboration with the state government.
The Ombatse group was actually formed to protect the minority Eggon tribe from Fulani and state government opression.
