Taraba Army arrests gang leader in Taraba
Eleven persons -all men, were reported killed in the ongoing crisis in Lau local government area of Taraba state.

Killer-herdsmen went on a fresh rampage in Kunini village of Lau on Saturday, killing eight persons.

The killers, who invaded at night, set many homes ablaze.

But Sunday, soldiers gunned down one of the mourning and protesting youths.

Lau has been in crisis since January, leaving at least 141 persons dead and most of the settlements destroyed.

Violence resurfaced on Thursday at a Masquerade Festival in Wailawa. Two residents were injured.

On Friday, the Commissioner of Police, David Akinremi, deployed a team of policemen to join forces with the divisional police officer in the area and end the skirmishes.

But the policemen were ambushed by the rampaging armed bandits. In a crossfire, however, two of the marauders were killed by the police.

Two arrests were made, with some weapons, motorbikes and charms recovered.

Soldiers deployed to the area for the purpose of maintaining peace, reportedly fired and killed one of the angry youths who had gathered to protest the invasion and killing of their people by herdsmen.

According to eyewitnesses, this happened when the bodies of the eight persons murdered by herdsmen were being taken for a mass burial.

Police spokesman, David Misal, in a statement on Saturday said: “On August 2, 2018, the Command received a distress call that during a traditional masquerade festival initiation in Wailawa, fracas erupted between the leaders of the festival in Waillawa and the Fulani community resulting to the injury of two persons.

“The situation was brought under control as a result of the prompt intervention of the Lau Divisional Police officer.

“However, the following day August 3, 2018 the commissioner of police deployed additional patrol teams to the area to complement the effort of the Divisional Police officer.

“On arrival, a peace meeting involving community leaders from both sides of the ethnic groups in the area was called. While the meeting was about to start a gunshot was heard from the surrounding communities which causedtension.

“The teams promptly brought the situation under control but some houses had been burnt from both sides, with two people killed and six injured.

“While effort was ongoing to restore peace, information was received that Garin Tafida Village came under attack bysome hoodlums in a reprisal attack and patrol teams were drafted to the area.

“While on their way they were ambushed by armed men on motorcycles who engaged the team in gun battle.

“The team in a show of bravery Confronted the hoodlums and shot two of them to death. Two were arrested while some of the attackers escaped with bullets wounds.

“Items recovered included two motorcycles, five cutlasses, and assorted charms.”

In January, 68 persons were killed by herdsmen in Lau, Taraba state. When Benue state lowered its flag half mast to bury 73 victims of herdsmen attack in brown boxes, Taraba committed their dead to earth in mass graves, without caskets.

Last month, the Yandang Community in Lau, led by Alfred Kobbiba, a Special Adviser to Governor Darius Ishaku on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), said it has 62 persons in the renewed hostilities.

The latest violence has displaced over 5000 persons, some of them sustaining severe injuries.

The Chairman of Lau local government council, Weni Yafi Weni, who once took reporters to the scenes of destruction, has cried out that the state and federal government should wade in with honesty and all seriousness to end the crisis.

Buhari and his supporters are big-time pretenders they want to destroy the country, kill-everybody by 2019.

We are heading for total anarchy and killing if sensible Nigerians do not stop this lopsided government and its agenda over Nigeria agenda.

Nobody can defend the devil enough. The signs that we are failing into danger is glaring enough.

Seriously there is more to Fulani herdsmen crisis

Since PDP knows about it Like u Say , Let President Mohammed Buhari the commander in Chief Declare The Herdsmen Terrorist and let's have Phython and crocodile dance with them Just as He did to The Ipob boys ..

Just as Buhari knows a lot about Boko Haram. No wonder both names begin with the letter "B" and also have "R" in common.

Yes you are right. PDP and every other Nigerian know that the herdsmen attacks has political linkage and mission and that is why till date, government at the centre has not made any categorical statement let alone action that could stop their onslaught.

The inaction of the FG on this is enough to say that the killings has political undertone.

this made front page yesterday on nairaland. We should be fair in reporting.


Another set of Internally displaced persons (IDPs) have began trooping into Jalingo, the state's capital city.

This followed after armed militias launched an unprovoked attacks on Thursday night and early hours of Friday on the Hausa-Fulani's town of Kunnini and it's suburbs in Lau local government area. The attackers reportedly killed many, burned down several houses and rendered hundreds mostly women and children homeless.

As at yesterday, nine people who were badly wounded from the brutal attacks have been hospitalized at the Jalingo Federal medical Center (FMC) and receiving treatment in the intensive care unit..

Eyes witnesses and survivors that fled for their lives reported that the militias came in hundreds armed with guns, machetes and local weapons, unleashed the mayhem by sporadic bullets shots and burning of houses.

This mayhem just happened four (4) days after some militias launched similar attacks on Fulani's village in in the neighbouring Ardo Cola LGA , where one Ardo Musa was killed.

According to reports, similar sad events equally took place early last month (July) where over thirty four (34) Hausa-fulanis villages were burned down , ransacked, killed and rendered thousands homeless across Lau LGA by the armed coalition of Yandang, Mumuye and Bachama militias.

It's habitual


It's in their gene


It's part of their training


It's in their mental orientation


It's in their emotional partitioning
