Fulani Herdsmen Confess To Membership Of Boko Haram by lecturerdabo(m): 3:40am On May 01, 2016 |
By KINGSLEY OMONOBI-ABUJA. It has emerged that groups of alleged herdsmen or gangs operating in the middle belt states of Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba and even those that recently killed scores of people in Zamfara state, are Boko Haram sect members. This development came to light following the confessions of some arrested Fulani herdsmen that took part in the killings and burning of houses in Wukari, Taraba state, they disclosed to security forces that they took part in many Boko Haram attacks. A statement signed by the Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade confirmed the development saying “A group of terrorists operating under the guise of herdsmen from a camp in the outskirt of Wukari have been arrested, while others died after an attack on military check point at Gindin Dorowa, a suburb of Wukari in Taraba State”. “Other members of the group were sighted in the course of air surveillance and later trailed to their camp where they engaged the troops in a battle”. “The terrorists were clad in the usual pattern of dress of their counterparts operating in Borno and Yobe States”. “One of the apprehended armed men confessed that he had been fighting for the terrorist group in Borno State and was recently brought to Wukari area in furtherance of their mission”. “Assorted arms and ammunition were recovered from them”. “Meanwhile, the curfew imposed on Wukari and its environs is expected to be relaxed as normalcy returns to the town”. “Troops have maintained patrol of the area while a house-to-house search for arms is ongoing”. “In another development, troops on patrol of the Lake Chad Islands have made some arrests”. “Among those arrested was a boat operator who ferries terrorists across the Lake Chad while another confessed to being a supplier of hard drugs to the terrorist groups in the area”. “In the meantime, the search for the abducted students of Government Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok is also being intensified”. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/04/fulani-herdsmen-confess-membership-boko-haram/ |

Anything is possible.... Only, vanguard has really slipped down the pecking order. It's hard to believe anything coming from them these days. They've thrown objectivity out the window! |

Could it be the herdsmen contracted the caged terrorists to free them and come do what they know best while using it to further their cattle business and colonial tendencies? |

Like DUH?? I've always doubted the claim that it was Northern minorities that are members of Boko Haram. Throughout history, Fulani have always been a menace to each group they reside next to. Infact, I sincerely SINCERELY urge anyone interested to go read the African slave trade, if we exclude the tribes that sold their own people without prompting, the slaves that were sold through kidnap, most of the kidnappers were FULANI. In all West African group history, Fulani have been nothing but blood sucking demons. Thus, I always suspected the claim that Boko Haram members were Northern minorities. Let's be real, if we exclude Fulani and maybe Hausa a bit, the rest of the Northern groups are predominately peaceful hence you rarely hear of them attacking or killing others. 95% of the time we read that the north went on some killing spree, most times the attackers are predominately Fulani or Hausa. No be so? |

Caseless: Old story(report from 2014) does not make it a fake story. Just means that Boko Haram has been operating in Benue and the rest of the middle-belt longer than most people realize. An old friend of mine serving as an officer with the Nigerian Army special forces was ambushed and butchered in Benue state by so-called Fulani herdsman as he led a small unit in response to distress calls from a local community that was under attack. This happened almost 3 years ago, and I concluded then that these were no ordinary herdsman, even though they were observed to be Fulanis. A great fellow was lost that day. 1 Like |
