Alhaji Suleiman Yakubu is the National President Gan Allah Fulani Development Association of Nigeria, who lives in Osogbo, Osun State. In this interview, he explained how a family of 19 Fulani herders were recently killed by militants suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) at Igbariam village of Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State.

How did you learn of the incident in Anambra State?

I was called in the wee hours of Monday, April 26 that the house of Ibrahim Medium was attacked and 19 of his family members were killed including him. The gory event occurred on Sunday night so I was called around 2 am on Monday that IPOB members attacked the house. It was only one person who escaped. I was called because Ibrahim was married to my wife’s younger sister. The wife was not at home when the attack occurred. There were 20 people in the household and the attackers killed 19. The person who escaped went out to get something before the attackers stormed the house.

He was on his way back home when he heard voices from the house and he hid somewhere. When the attackers left, he went on to discover that all of them were killed. Also, calves belonging to the family were mutilated. They were secured in confinement and did not pose any danger to the attackers but still, they were killed. The other cows were killed in large numbers.

What is the atmosphere like now?

I just spoke with a big personality there. He told me that the family of the women killed would find it hard to forgive the attackers. However, on our part, we are trying our best to look into how we can pacify their anger. But the act is despicable.

How many women were killed?

They killed nine women, six children, an elderly man (Ibrahim) and three adult males. Ibrahim had been living in the place for a long time.

Did you report the case to security agencies?

Yes, we did but we have not heard anything from them yet.

What is the situation of the Fulani there now?

There is tension among the Fulani due to what has been playing out in the South East. Even though some of them feel that if some people were asked to leave, they will not be included due to the years they had spent in the place. Over time, they have mingled and assimilated with the ways of the indigenes but now they have been condemned and no one knows who is next. Every Fulani in the state is now living in fear and most of them have left.

The man who was killed, Ibrahim Medium, has he lived there for long?

Yes. He used to say it proudly that he is safe and will not be chased away from the area because of how long he had lived there. Before his death, he saw himself as one of the indigenes of the place. He had been there since he was 25 years old.

Why didn't DSS intelligence capture when the bombs made it to Lagos and were cleared at the ports headed by northerners? Suddenly, they are aware the bombs are in trucks on their way to Imo? How many states are there in between Lagos and Imo? Their intelligence didn't say the trucks might stop in any of these states, it must be Imo?

Too many lies. Imo attacks are starting to appear masterminded by the government. Soon when we start hearing of bomblasts, they will suddenly say they warned about it. These people know the people behind all these and are trying to fool everyone on what they are a part on.

Na govt handwork

Coronabirus:
Time will tell!


In 2006 when the then DSS Director accused a group of people of moving fertiliser and other chemicals used for making bombs some Northerners criticised and berate him, at that time Boko Haram wasn't known. Few years later DSS got it right. Wait for the mass detonation of bombings and heavy genocide before denying it in hurry. I've never seen exact coincidence like in movie the way BH and IPOB case is happening. Everything is similar from scratch to the full insurgency. Kanu must have gotten complete template of his activities from Shekau!

Fg is trying to destabilize the east, as they did Niger Delta with militancy and the north with boko haram. The politics for gas in the east has begun since the diversification away from oil started.

sagitariusbaby:
Who started the killings? Didn't Igbo officers killed high ranking military officers from other parts of the country first?

Igbos were first killed in their thousands in 1945 and 1953.

helinues:
The SS state governors should be at alert and don't allow those miscreants called UGM to infiltrate their region.

It is only an enemy of progress that would take his fight into another region who are not interested in their madness..

I trust Gov Udom , he would be proactive about this cos Akwa Ibom people have been enjoying some peace for a while now

Enjoyed the bombings of innocent people by the military ba?

For where. Unless u want the country to kuku go into flames.

thebosstrevor1:
A military coup is coming soon....

The reality is it seems the civilians can't handle power, they are more interested in creating choas.

A peaceful military coup will be the solution

Military coup ko, militancy coup ni. Weapons of death are no longer concentrated only in the hands of your coward military. No body can threaten anybody.

Duru9:
There's something I'm not understanding

Last week Thursday/Friday I saw the military escorting this same armored vehicles along that kubwa Express here in Abuja
They were heading towards Kaduna

I saw 4 of it being carried by long truck and being escorted by 3 military hilux



Something isn't right honestly

Leonstar:
Hey everybody, So I have this issue that you all can help me with. I stay in Akure in my late twenties doing okay at work and all. Then my sister's husband called me to assist him with a favour saying his cousin who is a single mother (though her child is with the father at Jos) will be coming to Akure because she has a 7 months contract with one of these big farms here so she might need a place to crash for the weekend till the firm gets a temporary accommodation where she will be staying.

The long and short of the matter is that she has been in my place for the past 3 months and she has been really nice and maybe I might have caught some feelings along the way and we might have had a one night stand which might have been one of the most amazing nights for me since I'm so busy that I don't get to have much social life.

Now, here is the thing!!! After that night, I have made several attempts to get her on but to no avail, always rejecting the offer and threaten to report to her cousin. She might be older than me, almost sure of that and she is quite pretty. Before that night, I also asked her to be FwB (Friends with Benefit) which she didn't have a problem with that so it is not as if I forced it on her......... I really told her that I needed a companion, she actually made me realized that (FYI, no serious relationship).

She is nice and really kind (She might have a bf somewhere though). I just want to know what I did wrong since she can't tell me and how I can remedy that without making her feel uncomfortable in my place.

You didn't represent well that is why. You had the chance to Bleep her brains out but you bleeped up and now there will never be any rematch for you. Take your lose and learn.

No mind am, the goat disappoint and change na. The direction the previous government was taking the country wasn't pretty too.

No be small thing. Buhari scammed us. But my grudge is with those who voted him in 2019. 2015 is excusable because oga jonathan was a clueless buffon. I campaign against him in 2015 even though I am also from Bayelsan.

Juliusmalema:
To many of these miscreants Nnamdi Kanu is intelligent but the ezibida is the most Useless entity on the surface of this earth. Infact he is the worst animal to have roamed this earth.

He is intelligent and went to recruit an Illiterate that didn't even finish Secondary education as commander?

Even Shekau, Yusuf are all graduates and that's the more reason they think and execute.

Here you converge illiterates, pick pockets from streets, touts, thugs frustrated from life , gave them guns and called them comrades and you go about claiming intelligence...


[b] The very reason una Nnamdi Kanu and dead commander Ikonso raided Imo prison was simply to recruit new members to your folds because the general public are no longer buying to your antics, you guys then resort to release and recruit hardened criminals into your folds to increase your numbers....

u no get sense lailai

Madmohamed1:
and the one I hate know is they want to take our gas to the north. How can we have gas in the east but they are building power station I'm the North. we are waiting for them let them come and milk our gas let see we can never allow what happened to Niger Delta to happen to us. We can never be the stupid.

Please don't ever allow those mfs drill your gas?

TRUTHTOPOWER:
If PDP wins it is going to be a war of consolidation. I dont know how many people prefer the consolidation of the status quo. Well it will depend on those benefiting from it. on the other hand if APC wins it is going to be a war of recovery. It is like an uprising against the system by those outside the system. If you look at those outside the system they are usually more. late hour sharing of goodies hardly suffices to make people part of the system. call it economic crisis, for the recoverers it is called the ONLY OPPORTUNITY. Sincerely I wish things were done differently in the last four years.

valentineuwakwe:
I am still saying it, Azikiwe is the cause of the problem Nigeria andnthe eastern region is facing today. .his selfish ambition of rulling Nigeria clouded his senses of how the future will be today....

In what way is he the cause? At the time Nationalists were fighting to see that all black men become free, it was just common sense to ask the north to join in that window of opportunity to be free from the british rule. There is notĥing selfish in what he did at that moment. The north's inferiority complex took the best of them.

theTranslator:
I didn't say Awolowo believed in restructuring
I said he believed in regional governance which still existed to an extent at that time

yes most the food wasn't from Nigeria agreed
but it doesn't change anything
you can't allow the enemy in a war to be strengthened
most of the bloodshedding were very avoidable especially that of the war
and now nnamdi is championing a course that will lead to more blood letting
blood is not what forms a nation
reasonable sacrifice and wisdom does

You are towing the part of history that out progeneitors followed that caused us all the pains we are are enduring today, and make leave for the next generations to come. That is that, we don't speak truth to power. The white men who sat at the roundtable at the Berlin conference to divide africa did not do so with gun fights. The company that sold Nigeria to the British Queen did not do that through gun fighting, and luckily our freedom fighters who were able to persuade the colonial forces did not do that through war. But we now have leaders who enjoy and envy the brutaĺ of rape our collective humanity by the colonial masters have continue from where they stopped. And worst still, we now lack men who can stand against their barbarism.

theTranslator:
I will read about the Aburi agreement
Awolowo said that the Biafran soldiers were confisticating the food
You can't feed your enemy
it's not done
it will only elongate the war

@ underlined that's not true
except if Nairaland igbos don't qualify as igbos
they mocked us to scorn
I can show you posts

It was just for Awolowo to point to Gowon the need to respect the Aburi Accord. That would have been enough. Whether Gowon heeds to his council or not, he is not to blame and history would have been kind to him in that regards. And I believe things probably would have gone differently.

Naajjii:
They keep complaining about one Nigeria forgetting that it was their past leaders like Azikwe that fought hard to keep one Nigeria. All of you Nyamiri, IPOD Terrorist, ESN go and talk to your past leaders who ensured that we got one NIGERIA

Fought hard? How many people did he kill to keep Nigeria as one?
