Troops of 93 Battalion of the Nigerian Army stationed in Takum, Taraba State, have arrested nine well-armed militia from Benue, claiming to be members of government sponsored security volunteers.

The armed gang were arrested at Arufu, a boundary town between Taraba and Benue States, a military intelligence source told PRNigeria on Tuesday.

Five of the suspects were armed with AK-45 rifles fully loaded. On their arrest, a reinforcement of a purported Civilian JTF Group came to prevent the troops from taking them to custody.

The military source further disclosed that when the soldiers stood their ground, the armed militia’s reinforcement later withdrew.

The officer said: “During the preliminary investigation the arrested armed gang claimed that the weapons were issued to them by one Aliyu Tashaku through an agent of government.

“The suspects also confirmed that they were 60 in number in their own camp located at Gbeyi, Benue State.

Na small G?

Everyday na so so bad story for this country, i am tired of this country Nigeria i think it's high time i return to my state Abia state.

Lol! Seen these images on FP already!

Soldiers deployed so they will arrest the indigens who will go after the Fulani herdsmen.

We know that already.

The worst about this administration is that they are predictable.

Must you announce it to the world.Our security agencies need to know that secrecy is golden.

If these people are really a group involved in any of the killings, I will conclude that there is more of political strategy in the killing than the issue of herdsmen/farmers misunderstanding.
These guys look healthy and organized

Interesting: so someone from the government issued them rifles. To what end? Who is Aliyu Tashaku? Is government the new terrorist? I hope the security agencies are not trying to change the herdsmen narrative. The survival of some those attacks in benue identified herdsmen. There is a disconnect. The story is not complete.

Bloggers will use one picture to tell 100 different lies.

I want to see those demonic fulani militias killing innocent souls with knives and cutlasses being arrested

When government fails to protect the people they resort to self help. And this is what it is...dangerous scenario

If they're Fulani they'll soon free them. We've lost are nation to a Daura fool.

Why dont i believe this?

And killing their own people to gain what? Nigga everyone is not BH.

The Miyetti Sec on TV agreed to the killings because of the Anti grazing law... What else are you trying to justify?
