NO fewer than 22 persons, including women and children were feared killed when suspected Fulani herdsmen in the early hours of Monday, attacked nine communities in Dekina Local Council of Kogi State.

The rampaging herdsmen were said to have gone on a killing spree across the rural communities where scores more are still missing.

Concerned members of the affected communities led by Mr. Usman Ibrahim, who spoke to reporters at the National Assembly complex, stated that their people have been chased away from their ancestral lands by the herdsmen.

The affected communities are: Agojeju, Ikpoba, Ojeh, Ajomojayi, Ajadaji, Idochi, Ojiyanawo, Ulaja and Oganenigu.

Calling on the authorities to come to their rescue, Ibrahim said: “We are all in great distress and do not know what else to do.

As we speak, our fathers, grandfathers, parents and loved ones have been killed or chased away from their ancestral homes where they have lived for over 200 years.

“In the early hours of Monday, our peaceful communities were invaded by heavily armed Fulani herdsmen who killed and maimed so many of us.

As at today, 22 people have been confirmed dead with several others either injured or missing. Right now, we are refugees in our own land.”

Asked if there has been any response or intervention from the state government, the visibly distressed Ibrahim, who is also a Committee Clerk in the National Assembly, said the response from the state government has so far been of little or no significant effect.

best treatment for this animals in human form is to mine every farmland with explosives, I would rather lose all my crops along with dead Fulani's and their cows than fold my arms and watch them desecrate my property.

Instead of shooting protesting Biafrans at sight, how about shooting armed fulani herdsmen at sight?

...or maybe, shoot both at sight!

your family members can serve as placeholders for target practice

Kogi West?

One Nigeria.

This is Sad.

I am done with being party of the pity party for the Kogi people that the barbaric fulanis are killing like chickens, if they cannot pity themselves by organising themselves into an effective, rapid response, efficient and stealth militia too.

You confront madness with super madness. Let your attack go right into the heart of the fulani land, if they have any anyway, creating enough buffer between your homeland and the violence starting point.

So that when negotiation starts, you will have the upper hand.

Bro you are right.
