Police Probe 47 Armed Fulani Men Arrested In Oyo by Mgbadike80: 6:46am On Jan 12, 2021 |
Olufemi Olaniyi, Ibadan
Forty-seven Fulani men armed with
guns and other weapons have been
arrested in Igangan, Oyo State, by
men of Operation Burst, which is a
joint security team of soldiers and
policemen.
Our correspondent gathered that the
suspects were arrested in the early
hours of Sunday by the Ofiki River
along the Tapa/Igangan Road in the
Ibarapa North Local Government Area
of the state.
Sources told our correspondent that
the Fulani were allegedly invited to
strike by their kinsmen following the
raid carried out by the men of the
Oyo State Security Network Agency
otherwise known as Operation
Amotekun in the area on Saturday.
Amotekun said it raided the hideouts
of kidnappers in the area on Saturday
leading to the death of three persons,
while one of its men was also
injured. The security outfit said the
raid was carried out in collaboration
with Miyetti Allah vigilantes, hunters
and others.
When contacted about the arrest, the
state Police Public Relations Officer,
Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the
arrest to our correspondent.
He said, “The arrested Fulani men
have been transferred to the SCID,
Iyaganku, Ibadan, for discreet
investigation.
“Though it was alleged that the
Fulani men claimed that they were
trailing some kidnappers, who were
about to collect ransom from
relations of a kidnapped victim,
investigation has been intensified on
the matter.”
However, the Coordinator of Odua
People’s Congress in Oyo State,
Rotimi Olumo, told our correspondent
that his men in the area told him that
the Operation Burst outfit arrested
the suspects.
Similarly, the OPC coordinator in the
Ibarapa Zone, Olanrewaju
Ogedengbe, said the armed Fulani
were in three buses.
He said, “Forty-seven of them were
arrested at the Ofiki River. They were
caught with Dane guns and after
their buses were searched,
sophisticated guns, bows and
arrows, charms, catapults and bullets
were found.
“I heard that security men have come
to arrest the Seriki Fulani. He was
arrested this morning (Monday).
Those arrested said they were
brought from Ilorin, Iseyin and other
places. They wore Vigilante Group of
Nigeria uniform.”
But when contacted by our
correspondent, the son of the Seriki
Fulani, Umoru Salisu, said the Fulani
men and Amotekun had planned to
carry out the raid on the criminal
hideouts, but Amotekun went ahead
before the men arrived.
He stated that the Fulani men,
however, did not leave the area after
the raid was carried out, adding that
the hasty decision of Amotekun
caused a rift between the agency and
the Fulani men.

can you see why the Yorubas are more calculative,i expected more from Middle belt but they seem to be lackadaisical,the moment every other 3 regions arm themselves with Amotekun and the other 4 region started massive Cattle grazing acclimatization by the southern states ,that move will naturally burn out the Fulanis agenda 2 Likes |

Every Fulani residing in southern Nigeria bushes & forests are 'Trojan Horses' that are there to spy out the weaknesses of the land. They later invite their armed criminal mercenaries to come & strike are paid part of the proceeds of the crimes. 1 Like |

Both Amotekun and Fulani should tread carefully.... When crisis is not managed properly it blows up e. g The killing of Muhammad and the emergence of Boko Haram |
