Yekini Jimoh in Lokoja

Some Fulani herdsmen weekend invaded two local government councils respectively in Kogi State, where they reportedly killed 10 persons and then set their farmlands on fire.
The incident took place on Friday in Omala and Yagba West local government councils respectively.

According to an eye-witness account yesterday, some Fulani herdsmen invaded Ogabifo village near Agbenema community in Omola local government council of the state on Friday with their cattle.

According to the source, the Fulani herdsmen invaded the farmland and fed their cattle with the produce of the farm, and when the owner of the farm with his family approached them, they attacked the farmer and his family and chased them to the village where about 10 people were reportedly killed.

THISDAY further gathered that after invading the village, the Fulani herdsmen went back to the farm and destroyed the crops there and then ran away.

A source (name withheld) said the Fulani herdsmen numbering five were fully armed with AK 47 rifles and other dangerous weapons. The source also confirmed to THISDAY that the villagers have run away from the various houses as the Fulani herdsmen promised to invade the village again.
In another similar incident, Fulani herdsmen have also invaded another farm land in Yagba West local government council of the state.

An eye-witness disclosed to THISDAY saturday that the Fulani herdsmen with over 30 cattle invaded a rice farm owned by a woman in Omi, destroyed the rice farm and chased the farmers from their farm land.

A farmer, who doesn’t want his identity to be known, disclosed to THISDAY that the Fulani herdsmen were fully armed when they arrived at the farmland.

He added that other farmers were in their farms working when they heard several gunshots when the Fulani herdsmen invaded the farms. He stated that it was by God’s grace that they escaped from their farms. He therefore appealed to the state government to take a proactive step by calling the Fulani herdsmen to order.

The Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello last week had said that he would not introduce any anti-grazing law to curtail the activities of Fulani herdsmen in the state.

According to the governor, during a tripartite stakeholders’ meeting between the state government, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Rearers’ Association and the Farmers Association in Kogi State, Bello said rather, he threw the gate of the state open to any Fulani herdsmen who have been finding it difficult to stay in states like Benue, Ekiti and Nasarawa to see Kogi as their next destination, as the state was ready not only to accommodate them but also provide security for their lives and property.

Governor Bello said the people of the state must go and learn how to coexist peacefully with the cattle rearers.

The governor also read riot acts to the traditional rulers, in the state vowing to adopt all available means to punish them if they fail to instill discipline and prevent further breakdown of law and order in their domain.

“My administration will deal with any traditional rulers; anywhere there is crisis, the traditional ruler will be removed or dethroned from office,” he warned.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. William Ayah, while confirming the report, disclosed that it was true that some unknown gunmen killed two persons in Omala local government area of the state.

I nor fit laugh. The last time I checked Kogi indigent brought these to themselves... Their clueless and dumbness Governor on behalf of Kogite invited the terrorist group now no need of crying over a spill milk.

RIP

President Buhari brothers killing everywhere and the useless Fulani herd rearing President has not said or done a thing to put an end to all these wanton killings.

When there brother is the Commander in Chief, Ndo nu!/Sorry oh! case closed

I'm speechless

Why always Kogi? That State needs fervent and incessant prayers..

Their state governor is planning to open the state gate for more fulanis

This is the height of wickedness and cowardice on the part of Yahaya Bello. Instead of defending his people, he is instead telling his people to go and learn how to live in peace with their fulani invaders. The born fool even went further to threaten his own traditional institution that he will deal with any traditional ruler who fails to discipline his people before the fulani invaders. All this because he wants to be in the good books of buhari and his fulanis. Imagine the height of insult on his own people who are actually the victims. How can a so called governor be playing politics with the lives of his people.
I call on all kogi people to vote against apc in their state to put an end to this boy's incompetence and stupidity.

Whether we like it in this nation or not, the apc govt and buhari's brazen incompetence and nepotism has emboldened these fulani terrorists to go on killing without restriction. It has become their right to kill. If you voted this govt and you are reading this, the blood of the dead is on your head. You have contributted your quota in this jihad because you were all warned.

Look at what a fulani man posted on a public forum but you wont see Daura secret service arrest him. Why? Because it is now their right to kill anyone and sack any village they desire and they know nothing will happen. I dont blame them one bit. I blame you that chose to reject a man who said that his ambition is not worth the blood of ANY human and accepted a man who promised that dogs and baboons will be soaked in blood if he lost an election. May God reward you all accordingly. Amen.

its well... it seems this government dont have a solution to this shit

No comment

The FG will soon send the Airforce to bomb the remaining villagers like they did in Numan.
The Fulani militia are really bold these days because with their kinsmen Buhari and Danbazau (Minister of Interior) in power, nothing much will be done.
If the villagers retalliate Sultan of Sokoto will issue another inciting statement to be read by Sanusi Lamido which is like a command for more killings and destruction by the Fulani militia.

G

which way for this kwantry sef?

Na was ooo... So kogi don turn land of death

Black idiotts. Nnamdi Kanu has been preaching for yrs let's separate for all these to stop, you say no, tomorrow you complain Fulani are killing you. Black fools...animals living in the zoo who cannot reason. Enjoy suffering and smiling!

Whatever free time he has from his ever busy schedule he spends fighting Dino melaye

Yarimo come and earn your salary

Trouble de sleep Yanga Go wake am.

Rip to the dead.

Where those Fulani sympathizers in this forum. Hypocrite

The Governor is solely responsible for this, as he gave them the green light to come to kogi when benue chased them away.
How Ipob are tagged terrorist and these beasts tagged Criminals still beats me.
Anyway, I trust kogites, they will definitely retaliate with venom and ruthlessness.

Yez, Yaha Bello Weldone

The Governor invited them to graze in Kogi state, now they are gracing on his subjects.

no b Bello invite them ni

This is just the beginning of the seasonal film. The governor invited them and now they have come. Let the blood bath begin.

Rip to the dead bello yahaya abi na Yamaha invited dem

valazino:
I trust kogites, they will definitely retaliate with venom and ruthlessness.

nothing them will do when their own governor is for the Fulani

I saw this coming, when a governor is throwing his gates open to a group of angry violent people, it was only going to be a matter of time. May God grant the families of the dead the fortitude to bear the loss, and grant the governor the sense to rule the state.
