Herdsmen In Military Uniform Killing People In Kogi –rep by Jazzlite: 5:33am On May 18, 2018

a member of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Yusuf, has raised the alarm that herdsmen in military uniform have been attacking communities and killing people in parts of Kogi West Senatorial District in Kogi State.

Yusuf, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, called on Kogi State and the Federal Government to end the killings, which began on Monday, May 14.

The lawmaker, who represents Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency of Kogi State in the House of Representatives, said that victims in the communities stated that they were attacked by a group of almost 50 armed herdsmen in military uniform.

He stated, “At around 4.30 am on Monday, 14 May, 2018, there were simultaneous attacks on Tiv people in Iluagba and Illai communities in Ijumu Local Government Area and Mopa-Amuro Local Government Area of Kogi West and people reported that about 50 suspected Fulani herdsmen in military uniform burnt farmlands being cultivated by some Tiv people and killed four persons.

“The men whose weapons were said to include Ak-47 rifles also burnt houses and carted away people’s food supplies.

“In broad daylight, around 2pm on Tuesday, 15th May, 2018, two men who were returning from the farm in Agbede Apa, a village along the Obajana-Kabba Road, encountered these audacious bandits; one of the men fled with injuries while the other one, was killed and his corpse is now at the mortuary of the General Hospital, Kabba.

“While many wonder why our law-abiding rural people could be under the threat of such bandits, we must all note that after the traumatizing experience, many communities in my area now live under an atmosphere of needless intimidation and palpable fear,” he said.

He stated most farmers feared to spend much time on their farms, adding that there was anxiety that could only be reduced by firm, prompt and consistent effort from government.

Governor Ganduje should speed up the transformation of Falgore into a mega ranch that can accommodate the herdsmen. This will go a long way to stop news like this. It will even give Kano greater political might due to larger population.

Let there be peace.
