Six armed Fulani men ambushed two youths from Jol community, Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau State, killing one, Reports.

It was gathered By News Crew, That the incident happened at about 7.43pm on Tuesday night, January 26, at Nod area while the youths were returning from Hoss to Jol community.

One of the young men identified as Amos Elisha, 20, was hacked to death while Daniel Sati sustained grievous injuries.

Spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, Gabriel Ogaba, who confirmed the attack, said the injured victim is currently recuperating in the hospital, and that investigation is ongoing to unravel the circumstances surrounding the attack.

He said the command is soliciting for useful information from well-meaning members of the community to aid their investigation.

Barrister Dalyop Solomon Mwantiri of the Emancipation Centre for Crisis Victims in Nigeria-ECCVN visited Vom Christian Hospital where the injured person and the corpse of Amos were taken by personnel of Divisional Police Headquarters of Riyom.

Daniel, who is nursing deep machete and dagger cuts in his head and hands, managed to narrate how they were ambushed by six Fulanis armed with daggers and swords few miles after a military checkpoint.

"I am Daniel Sati, 24 years and married with one child, I hail from Tanjol hamlet of Jol community. It was about 7:43pm of 26th January, 2021 that a group of 6 Fulanis armed with machetes, daggers and dazzling swords laid us ambush on our way back from Hoss’ Market to Jol Community,"

Daniel recalls sighting the killers before approaching the spot, but was persuaded by his friend who was brimming with courage and faith, to keep moving.

"We were walking from Makera (village) where we went to buy water pump machine parts. I saw signs of human movements in the grasses and suggested that we should turn back but Amos said we should have faith, that even if we would be killed, we should still trust Jesus to provide us a refuge in heaven," he said.

''On getting to where they laid the ambush, three Fulani men abruptly emerged from both sides of the roads and started chasing us after a long trek from Makera.

According to him, another group of 3, making 6 also emerged from the other side of the road and pounced on them with their daggers, cutlasses, knives among others.

''As we tried to fight back, we were overpowered as the hacking became tensely unbearable with high potency of engulfing life. Daniel added.''

“we picked stones and anything available to defend ourselves with. Amos was also bleeding but I don’t know which part of his body was he struck,” he said.

Daniel ran, fighting and praying in his heart, with blood dripping from different sides of his head and hands. He fell down at a point, clearly weak as a result of blood lost from the injuries and continued bleeding, and was to be stabbed again on the ground, but swiftly sprang up, hitting the sword off on the attacker’s hand.

His friend had ran into nearby bushes and was chased by five of the attackers. Daniel’s aggressor drew out a smaller knife to inflict more injuries on him, but he never gave up. He struggled until he knocked him down with only a stone in his hand. He was however accosted by the other assailants, before he could rise up and run.

"They hit me several times with their daggers and machetes but with the help of God, I still ran until i escaped to Tashek (nearby village) from where I was taken to Riyom Police Divisional Headquarters, and later on to the hospital for medical attention.”

On getting to Tashek hamlet, Daniel reported his encounter to local vigilante called “Neighborhood Watch” who swung into action to rescue Amos, not knowning that his friend has already been hacked dead by the said killer Fulani militias.

As to the identity of the attackers, Daniel narrated that, “I facially know one of the attackers who is a Fulani from Dakar (Guava) area close to Rankum (Mahanga) of Jol Community. He is among those that came and pitched their mobile tents around our settlements.”

In the process of search, Amos was found dead in a pool of blood with stained machete and handset at the scene, believed to belong to the killers when vigilante arrived the spot.

Adding voice to the unattended plights of the affected village/hamlet, a Pastor in the area, Yusuf Tanko, said herdsmen in the area have issued several threats openly even during meetings with securities but no arrest is made.

"In our meetings in farmer-herder reconciliation committees, the herders always complain that the natives are always preventing them from herding, freely to wherever they wish,” which points at the helpless state of insecurity rising up in the area, he said.

According to the Barrister, "Tashek Village in particular, has had its ugly experience from killer Fulani armed attacks in the recent past, and its remains a theatre of violent attacks, unprecedented mischievous grazing and other related heinous activities continuously being perpetrated as gathered. For instance, Mr Zakka Sunday and Mr. Elisha Yakubu, the father to Amos Elisha were killed in the same location ten years ago."

Nah wah ooo ... I sincerely wonder what we did to deserve all this?

And Buhari has turned deaf ears to the cry of the people that voted for him

When ESN is chasing them away from the East, everybody will be blaming and cursing them out, just look at the mayhem this people are causing their host communities, and nobody will talk now or be arrested but when the youth's retaliate, the cows in ASO Rock will start blabbing their stinking mouths.

Where's that herdsman senator?
Come and see your people.
Their own don dey too much

Rip to the dead. Rapid healing to the survivors.
Wetin burst my head una see ambush una still use faith. Even the Bible say faith without works is dead. Ogbeni if I smell danger,Wetin be smell,if I dream am sef I don follow my leg talk. Life is too short and too sweet to take unnecessary risks. In fact my friends call me Japanese. Because I japa at the slightest sign.

But wait o,the guy said he is 24 and married with child. When he reach my age if him pikin be like am he go don become grandpa. And I'm here as single as letter I.
This life no balance

And we have "presidency" in this country?



It is sad.

Everyone you know will eventually die, including yourself
This is probably the most important reality check you’ll ever get while you’re alive.
It’s one of the harshest truths we all have to deal with at some point in our lives. Your mother, your father, your siblings, your dog, your loved ones & you, are mortal and at one point every single one will cease to exist.
This alone is a strong enough reason to appreciate everything you have in your life! Holding grudges is stupid, deal with the tiny problems and don’t forget to tell anyone who’s important to you how much you care for them and how important they are to you.
Mend your relationships, especially with those who made a difference in your journey because you might not get a second chance to do so.
After your relationships affairs are in a good place, it’s time to get serious about your life.
YOU WILL DIE ONE DAY!
So why the hell do you want to live a boring life?

Killing people for no reasons. SMH.

Sha na like this we go dey day

Watch how this matter will die off
If it was sex party news they heard they would have caught the offenders

I'm just tired of this country. Bad news everywhere

One man who claimed he's a Fulani, a senator and a rtd military officer....Said that Nigerians can't stop open grazing because Nigerians eat kpomo, shaki and meats and also benefits from other resources gotten from cow...



He totally forget that herding is a business.... They don't pay tax, they move their cows freely to destroy people's farms, they sell the cows and make huge profits, yet they don't pay tax...


They want to go about feeding the cows for free and selling the cows at a very high price..And wants Nigerians to believe that they are doing us unmerited favours.....

Fake news ... This is Exactly what Femi Adesina has been saying all along..Enough of this nonsense already,seems Wailers bring up anything just to Make Our Lovely President's regime look terrible..
You can as well bring up more new stories about how herdsmen are causing havoc just to continue putting this lovely country in disarray but all your plans have failed...
Bloody ungrateful Wailers....
God bless Buhari
God bless Nigeria

The nation's nightmare ��

I pity the innocent Fulani that will be vulnerable after Buhari tenure even though they don't value human life





where is that Arrewa the jalloh blood, by the time Buhari will leave that sit, your political ambition must have been dead because other Nigerians won't mind to abandoned their ethnicity difference and stand against you people

N

They will never stop until you treat them worse than they treat you. They are the cursed tribe of Africa.

Hmm.. The perpetrators must be punished.. Enough is enough!

Hmnn

One of the simple ways everyone can take part in the fight against open grazing of cattle and the attendant violence and destruction is by NOT BUYING MEAT until further notice.

You won't die if you don't eat red meat, but you and many others can reduce the motivation of the cattle herders to rear cattle in your area.

Buy so doing, you can save the lives and farm investment of innocent hardworking Nigerians whose farms are waiting to be ravaged and destroyed.

By that little act, you can help stop the problem of food scarcity caused by the fear of farmers for farming and the destruction of their farms.

You are a civilian, but you can stop patronizing BLOOD meat, and financing our common enemy.

This is not the only step we have to take, but it is one of many strategies for fighting a common enemy who depends on us for patronage.

Let's boycott red meat until further notice. We won't die.

Just in one sentence ,What is the Presidency Doing to stop the killings .

Not again nau. This is getting too much already. We all need to protect ourselves by ourselves since the security agencies have all failed in that aspect

If you are in Nigeria, you don't die at your appointed time....

Chase these people out . No
You said we are One Nigeria with Animals and beasts


Your matter tire me

Almajiri!!!
