More details are emerging of the police casualty in Tuesday’s crisis in Nasarawa as the police have confirmed the death of 30 of its officials.

The Nasarawa State Governor had told reporters at the State House Abuja on Wednesday that 20 policemen were killed by members of a sect in the state known as the “Ombatse” militia group at Assakio Village, about 10 kilometres from Lafia, the state capital.

Mr. Al-Makura said the policemen were on lawful duty to dislodge the militia when they were killed.

The Police Commissioner in Nasarawa, Abayomi Akeremale, on Thursday told journalists that the casualty figure has increased to 30.

This country self!

It was a bloody Wednesday in Alakyo village of Lafia
East Development Area of Nasarawa State as over
90 people were reportedly feared dead yesterday
in a gun duel involving security operatives and
members of the Eggon militia group, Ombatse.
The operatives had been deployed there to effect
the arrest of the leader of the group, Baba Alakyo,
and recover arms said to be in his possession.
To underscore the severity of the gun duel, of the 11
trucks of security men deployed to the area, only
two returned safely to the capital with only 20
policemen; nine of whom sustained various degrees of
gunshot wounds. An assistant commissioner of police,
Momoh, who led the team; some officers of the
State Security Service (SSS) and about 15 Civil
Defence Corps officers were among those killed.
The incident occurred when the militiamen, who got
wind of the impending arrest of their leader, Alakyo,
by mobile police officers, ambushed the truck
conveying the officers by dusk; forcing a retreat.

what should ordinary citizen expect when the so called security agent are killed die xmas chickens.

wahala to much for naija

In the words of Okupe:
No need to worry or panic. Mr President His Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is on top of the situation. He is working tirelessly to tackle the security issues in the country. As we speak a committee has been set up to look into the situation.

Se na like this we go dey dey

Soon they ll beg Ombatse to accept multi million naira amnesty.

Why dem no go kill police,sebi na empty gun without bullet dem dey carry waka

Oh Where is Obasanjo? human right groups will come and make the loudest noise when JTF start going after them

Nawao,if military killed 10 bokoharam members norther elder will protest against it,whenever den killed minitary personel dey will celebrates,only God will help naija.

30 police officers? Thats too close to Abuja..

ok not news any more Thought it was something different

The things people get away with in Nigeria....20 whole policemen in one day! That's a bold invitation for war!

Where are my army boys?

55 killed in 5 hours on Tuesday by Boko Haram in Bama, Borno: 29 officers killed in Nassarawa by another cursed group. It is high time President Goodluck Jonathan declare state of emergency in that war zone. Yes, its gonna be tricky politically, but as Americans will say ' do what u gotta do"

This is out of hand, the FG shouldd dump the amnesty committee crap, and declare total war with these homicidal lunatics ...

How can a local group kill 20 federal agents. Where is OBJ when you need him. If am Jonathan, by now I must have sent a military battalion to level that village... I wont even care about the innocent citizens. At least, that will be a lesson to all those villages/community that harbour militants. RIP to the gallant officers.

Did the human rights camera record this act? Will the US team remember to investigate this, will buhari condemn this act? Where is the Northern animal elders, oya come and see what your animal children and almajiri children hv done to security men deployed to protect them.





If Goodluck do not divide this nation by 2015, I will use my last blood to campaign against him, let this people go form their country with their desert land now, which kind by force marriage be this, Lugard, u no go know peace anywhere you dey

the worst of it all is that it would be a so called civilian member of the community that leaked the info that got all those men killed...if they had attacked both the militants and the villagers housin them...some bloody intl agencies would huriedly come to investigate and point fingers....now they have killed these innocent selfless men..where are they naa......nonsense! may their soul r.i.p!

We Nigerians need to value human lives, by killing these security men, you have not succeeded in killing the Nigeria Police Force, it will still be in existence. You have only succeeded in killing your fellow human beings.

i am packing out of Nigeria now.

Mr Devil, dont cry o, when the President gives them the Odi and Zaki Biam treatment.

Why don't they deploy choppers on these kind of operations to give them the necessary air cover? Naija mata sef

Ptimes: Mr. Al-Makura said the policemen were on lawful duty to dislodge the militia when they were killed.

The above statement makes me chuckles. It's a very popular press statement by Nigerian Police spoke person. Lemme reserve my comment on that to sympathise with the innocents that lost their lives. Methinks, the death figure disclosed by the force spokeman is exaggerated the Nigerian style, because compensation is coming for the families of the murdered cops and that figure means big boys ghosts benefits.

honeric01: What kinda group is Ombatse?

This country self!

Ombatse means "time has come" in Eggon language.

"Ombatse", as is being speculated, was formed by the Eggon ethnic tribe of Nassarawa state to counter terrorist activities of fulani herdsmen who have turned the state into a jungle-killing ground. Fulani militia/mercenaries, in spite of their dare-devil attacks on farming communities across the region, have been doing their best to avoid confrontation with Ombatse. That's why Eggon farms, unlike those of the Tivs of Nassarawa and parts of Benue state, have remained free from the trampling hoofs of cattle herds.

Governor Al-Makura, while ignoring the fulani militias/mercenaries who have camps in Doma LGA and have cleansed the Tivs of Doma and part of Benue state, designated Ombatse a "cult group" and has vowed to destroy it at all cost. Watchers of events in Nassarawa state are saying that the governor views the group as a threat to his ambition to retain his seat come 2015. Such views gained their credence from the conspicuous tendency of the governor to ally more closely with fulani migrants than with the "Christian tribes" of the state. There are accusations here and there that the governor does the wishes of the Sokoto Islamic Caliphate, which has no respect for the wishes other ethnic groups in the north, save their converts/acolytes.

By irrationally and foolishly killing security agents, the Ombatse has dug the grave for the mass burial of its own people; something the governor has been trying to do since he assumed office in 2011.

All the security chiefs that planned the fatal operation should be removed immediately. May the soul of the dead officers rest in peace.

rip to d dead. D human right group,d northern elders,d National assembly members,d NBA. What do u all hv to say abt all dis. U complain of Baga killing

Na wa ooo .. In an attempt by the CPC led govt to dislodge a christian militia to allow free passage for Fulani herdsmen to continue their reign of terror in the middle belt our Policemen have become the casualty in this daibolic plot by Fulani herdmen to own the fertile grounds of the Middle belt.. Before the week ends Nigeria Army will burn down eggon and unknowingly create a free corridor for Fulani herdmen to finish of TIv farmers.. Some Complex scene .. Its not easy for Jonathan does he wipe out the Ombatse and allow the untouchable Fulani reign supreme?

This is really sad, Nigeria must have lost more that 100 security personel and many more civilians within days when we are not at war. This is beyound religious insurgency. Govt need to do something, how can people loose their lives just because they are police or army?

The killing again shows that the masses do not see the police as their friend.

Who knows may be Ombatse group thought the police was going to their town to do what the government did at Baga.
