Fulani ‘Mercenaries’ Arrested Over Benue Bloodbath by karlmax2: 8:24am On May 22, 2013
Army Nabs 9 Fulani ‘mercenaries’ Over Benue Bloodbath

MAKURDI—After weeks of bloody conflict between Fulani herdsmen and Benue farmers, nine of the suspected Fulani mercenaries have been arrested and arraigned before a Makurdi Chief Magistrate Court.

The suspects, who were apprehended at Gbajimba in Guma Local Government Area of Benue State by officers of the Special Forces Squad of the 72 Battalion, Makurdi, were arraigned yesterday and charged with culpable homicide and causing mischief by fire.

Parading the suspects before the court, Police Prosecutor, Sgt. Patrick Sunday, told the court that the accused persons were arrested in Gbajimba on May 6 by the military personnel, who handed them over to the police.

According to him, the army officers told the police that they received reports that some Fulani mercenaries had attacked some villagers in Guma council, killing and burning the houses of their victims.

He explained that following the report, the army officers rushed to the area where they arrested the accused and also recovered three locally-made pistols and four live ammunition in their possession.

The army officers, the prosecutor further stated discovered four yet-to-be identified corpses of their victims at the scene of the attack.

At the hearing, the accused persons told the court that they came to Benue State from neighbouring Bassa in Nasarawa State.

However, no plea was taken for want of jurisdiction, while Police prosecutor asked for an adjournment of the case pending the completion of Police investigations into the matter.

In her ruling, presiding Chief Magistrate, Mrs. Cecilia Tsumba, ordered that the accused be remanded at the Makurdi prison and adjourned the case to the June 11 June for further mention.

They are naturally hostile, except you've not lived or stayed with them that is why you think they are just becoming hostile

It wasn't like this before. During my Youth service, I stayed with them and they are friendly
people. The only negative thing I saw then was that they do charms a lot.

Have lived with this people and presently in the north still living with some of them, when you give them an inch, they devise means to take hundreds of miles from you, i'm not denying the fact that there are some few good ones among them, but the majority are just wickedly pathetic.

Exactly! Public execution after due legal process to serve as deterrent and to show others that the authorities will no longer tolerate their criminality.

hod898: Fulani,Fulani,Fulani! always, aa-aah! Most of them are not even Nigerians-they're mostly from Niger, Chad, etc. They've really taken many lives of the innocent especially in vulnerable villages in the North. Maybe the next state of emergency will be 4 fulani herdsmen.
Each and every one of them found guilty should be handled according to the Law. If the penalty is **years in prison fine. Buh if the penalty is death, pls make it quick and send them to '72 virgins'.
abeg, stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum..which kind of most of them are not nigerians eh eh do not disown your own oo
