that is ruga, a good example of ruga that buhari want to put in every state, fulani barrack

The federal government are not saying anything on this issue of the fulani herdsmen.i don't really know why muhammadu buhari is been patriotic to this sect of people.the federal government should just declare this people terrorist.i don't know what they are waiting for.they are the real cause of economic hardship we been having in this country.

What a weak pathetic cry baby wimpy people.

Take your armed vigilantes into all forests, bushes, jungles, all possible hiding places for these terrorists and burn it all down. Smoke them all out and annihilate them. It takes but a match stick. Take a cue from California Wild fires for crying out loud. Be proactive, not reactive and cry babying.

What good is vegetation at the expense of your life and land.
Burn it all down. They can't graze or hide in such settings.

BURN IT ALL DOWN.
SMOKE THEM OUT LIKE RATS
ANNIHILATE THEM ALL.

No rocket science required.

Why speaking out now?

This is no news. It’s information that has been out there. There have been lots of complaints about the locals in Ondo, Edo and Delta states about strange Fulani men camping in the forests.
Emerging from bushes and shooting at vehicles is the modus operandi of these bandits.
They did that along Abuja-Nasarawa-kaduna roads forcing many to use the trains. Even the trains were reported to be escorted by helicopters initially. All these could be searched and read.

People were shot at along those roads, vehicles stopped and passengers panicked and ran into the bushes. Some of them were captured by Fulani bandits. Victims narrated their various experiences and these could be retrieved online.

There was a viral video of similar attack in which the mobile police escorts returned fire causing the bandits to retreat.

In a sane country, the Nigeria security forces would’ve launched an extensive manhunt inside those forests/area to apprehend the bad guys.
I believe strongly that this recent attack was carried out by the same group of bandits.

Can we stop calling these guys herdsmen! A Fulani bandit who probably relocated from north east or some part of west Africa with the help of their brothers here in Nigeria is different from a herdsman.

Since you already know where they are camped why not burst and sack them from there instead of reporting to the toothless police who might never take any action?? If the Yorubas are no cowards they should burst their asses already and give them a dose of their own medicine that how we get rid of them in my own village.... your security is in your hands folks, don’t wait for the police or army pls... kill them before you are killed!!!

Look closely and use ur head . These Fulani guys still think in the past, they see Nigeria as a country to be conquered. Inagine Fulani claiming Nigeria as the land of their fore fathers.
Its easier for them now since the president is one of them.
Before the last election, Buhari called it cattle colonies ,pple resisted. It went down and came up after the election with the name 'Ruga'.
Who gave them that name?
Can't you see Buhari is part of the plan?
What does Ruga even mean?
I'm not hating anyone o
We just need to tell them Naija belongs to us!

Staro:
Fresh facts emerged on Saturday that herdsmen have converted the Ondo Government reserve located in the Odigbo Local Government Area into a militia camp.

This indication buttressed the widespread claim that killers of Mrs Funke Olakunrin, 58-year-old daughter of the leader of pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, were herdsmen who sneaked out of the reserve to rain bullets on the vehicle she was travelling in.

Olakunrin was killed on Friday as the gunmen ambushed vehicles on the highway and abducted some commuters. Her maid reportedly sustained some gunshot injuries during the attack.

Killers of Fasoranti’s daughter have their base in the forest, say villagers

A former senator who represented Ondo South Senatorial District at the Senate, Boluwaji Kunlere, said hoodlums had been operating around where Olakunrin was killed for a long time.

He said this in an interview with one of our correspondents in Lagos on Saturday.

Kunlere said, “I beefed up security in the area when I was in the Senate. I gave 13 Hilux vans to the police divisions in Ondo South Senatorial District and gave motorcycles to the Department of State Services for surveillance.

“I think the police do not have the manpower to ensure adequate security in the area. The expressway (Benin-Ore-Sagamu Expressway) is where the major problem is. The spot (Kajola) where they killed Baba Fasoranti’s daughter falls between Odigbo and Okitipupa Local Government territory.

“The people living close to the area said Fulani herdsmen had taken over that area and there was a time a bishop was abducted and the police rescued him in that area. Herdsmen are all over the forest. We see them between Omotosho and Igbotako. They graze their cows on the road and strike and they run back to the bush.

“They have been operating there for long but the attack on Baba Fasoranti’s daughter was given a wide publicity because of the man’s influence. The downtrodden have been suffering there for long. There was a time that they exchanged gunfire with the police between Omotosho and Ore in the afternoon and they ran away when they discovered that the police would overpower them.

“When they attacked Chief Olu Falae’s farm then, the police said it was bush burning because of the fear of Abuja. They want to attribute this killing to armed robbers but the locals are saying the killers are herdsmen.

Some residents of Kajola town in the Odigbo council area who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH insisted that some Fulani herdsmen terrorising the area were residing in the forest in the area.

One of the residents identified only as Mr Ola said the herdsmen behaved as if they were above the law, adding that it was not the first time they would perpetrate the act in the area.

He said, “They destroy our farms at will. Their cows always eat up many of our farm produce. We have reported several times to the police but no action was taken. We heard gunshots yesterday (Friday) and it is a common thing in the area. We call on the government to provide adequate security to protect our lives and property.’’

Also, a farmer in Kajola village who gave his name only as Mr Aliu, also said bandits had invaded forests surrounding the village.

He said there had been many criminal activities going on in the forest and nobody stopped them.

Aliu said, “The herdsmen that struck on the expressway yesterday (Friday) stay in the forest around the area. That is not their first time and that is how they operate. We have reported to security agents but nothing has been done about it. We are helpless. Government should come to our aid.”

Another resident who spoke on condition of anonymity also reiterated that the reserve in the Odigbo council area had been inhabited for long by herdsmen.

He said though the reserve belonged to the government, community members now use the place for farming.

The resident, who is a prominent member of the National Association of Odigbo Local Government Students, said herdsmen rampage started in the area at the same time it became rampant in the country.

He said, “Villagers are aware of the activities of herdsmen in the area. There was a time herdsmen cut the wrist of a farmer who confronted them when they took their cows for grazing on his farm.

“The DPO of Ore Police Station intervened in the matter and spoke with members of the community. The vigilantes have had to confront them many times. The vigilantes later constructed a shed in the community and take turns to ensure security in the area. This is a development that is known to people in the community.’’

Rugalization agenda of Buhari

Staro:



I guess now that a prominent man's daughter is involved they will take action.

They will not, the Idiotic Yoruba political elite and their Afonja supporters are too power hungry to see things the way they really are.

RugaTerrorist:



Some of these news are fake

I concur! Still doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Eni to kan lomo

We need private defence/vigilante groups that are functional and well funded.

Goodbloke:
Exactly thats what a reasonable person will do, what's so difficult in killing herders for God sake

harmed herders

Can't u read and understand simple English. They have reported many time to the police and nothing was done.

One or two bullion vans through jagaban and everything might quieten. Isn't it Nigeria again?

kayusely70:
Why speaking out now?

If u read closely, the people have been speaking out. I remember reading about Olu Falae's farm being ravaged by these same men some years ago and he spoke out. This is only in the limelight because of whose daughter is involved.

It’s not as easy and straightforward as you think mate.
If the bandits are not getting supports from the top guys holding Nigeria hostage, they won’t last a week in those forest hide outs.

Nigerian Army has the capacity to deal with them decisively if the authorities are committed to ending insecurities in Nigeria.

In the previous viral video in which the mopol returned fire when the bandits shot at them, didn’t the Nigeria army/airforce and police see that video? What was the response?...none.

Didn’t the politicians see that video? If an unknown and an unfortunate passengers was the victim here, would this had raised the type of storm that we are seeing today?

There are bandits from the north scattered all over south Nigeria. How else do you want to explain or prove to people that the north east security problems have been brought down to the South?
We hear and read cases of rape, stabbing,mutilations, kidnapping and killings by Fulani bandits narrated by some of their victims but no action is taken.

On here, ldiots will find a stupid way of turning it into an Igbo vs Yoruba tribal fights while the real criminals laugh their azzes off at the stupidity.

You should be the COAS. The issue though is the person that will strike the match stick and the person that will give the order might tell them to leave with vehicles amply provided.

You are a complete slowpoke. You hateful warmonger bastard!

Choke on your hate and you prayers to see Nigeria and Nigerians in a much worse hell will no be answered. Omo ale jatijati!

Eranko lawon obi e...

When are we still not going to see that? Not all of us are like your family members who will sit and await a nonentity slit their throats.

Omo ale ni awon tobi e

there are a lot of misconceptions about the Fulani, just like every other tribes in Nigeria we may have some bad eggs among the Fulani herdsmen but that is not enough yardstick to label these people as devil. Majority of the Fulani I lived with while serving in Gusau, Zamfara state were very friendly, their women are tall and beautiful with pointed nose so as their men. The good one among this tribe should work with the law enforcement agency to fix out those criminals living with cattles in order to restore the image of the fulanis in Nigeria..Gaskiya

Are people going through Abuja-Kaduna not mostly Northerners and Muslims? This issue has been since 2016, the Government did very little about it because it is Nigeria. Our lives don't matter.

Now that they have extended their wings to the South, why the Bleep should we tribalise it?

Ppl still supporting these Fulani stuffs amaze me, how can these ppl be armed and we still expect peaceful coexistence with them? In my secondary school days in awka north lga, there were Fulani in urum town, the arms they had were sticks, nobody disturbed them neither did they disturb anyone....there was an instance a car killed one cow in an accident, the ppl around paid the herdsman and took the dead animal. Now things have changed, they move around killing ppl who don't even attack them. I think this recent incident is just to force the RUGA idea down our throats but it will fail. This govt is filled with cow-loving individuals.

Don't worry. No one is slitting their throats anytime soon but you should be careful, with the way you and your bastards friends are going at this, they will soon end up raping your women and your men will be left for dead. Till both you and your *Fulani herdsmen get sense*.

That is why everyone need to stand up against them. Nobody has the monopoly of being violent. We all get craze for head. All Fulanis herdsmen are either a terrorist or a lawless. They don't care about people's farm nor wellbeing. Did you know that overgrazing that is being practiced is reduces biodiversity, increases deforestation and causes climate change?

Let the stupid president declared any herdsmen without a ranch a criminal. That is the only way. If not, we are deep shut in this country becuase they will definitely cause havoc. Treat them like criminals! That is the only solution. Mabinu

That is because people are getting it wrong.

The war in Libya and terroriam in other parts of Africa created a number of issues. When you also consider the effects of Boko Haram and the crippling economy. It is not hard to figure out this will not end well at all.

So you have youths from the North who may or may not be Fulani, who may or may not have been herdsmen. These people are also problem for Fulani herdsmen. They herd their cattles in fear from these set of people. These criminals started up North against *their people*. Now that they have expanded their criminal entity, why should Fulani herdsmen be blamed for their crimes? The only thing these criminals want his ransom and they have no care for human lives. These crimes is not different from those perpetrated in the South. They are criminals, let's not tribalise it.

However, I am not saying actual Fulani herdsmen don't have issues with locals. Unfortunately, the story most people don't tell is that, sometimes locals also attack them and their animals.
