The lawmaker representing the Irigwe/Rukuba constituency in the state House of Assembly, Mr. Musa Agah, made a shocking revelation following the attack on some villages in a bloody clash between the Fulani herdsmen and Irigwe youths of Bassa local government area of plateau state which left not less than 13 dead, and over 25,000 displaced.

Mr. Agah, who in the company of speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly, Mr. Izam Abok, and other members of the house, visited the governor at the Government House to lament on the incessant security issues and brainstorm on the way forward, However, after waiting for over an hour to meet the governor, they were shocked to be told that the governor, Solomon Lalong was asleep.

The lawmaker made the shocking revelation during an interview on Jay FM.

Meanwhile, state Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Mr. Nura Muhammad, has blamed the Irigwe youths for the continued violence in the area.

He said six Fulani also lost their lives during the clash, which according to him the Irigwe youths started, adding that 11 of his people had been hospitalized as a result.

Describing the situation as critical, Muhammad said, “What happened yesterday was that the Irigwe people mobilized their kinsmen and attacked our people in Rafin Bwauna village, a settlement mainly occupied by the Muslims, Hausa and Fulani. We tried as much as possible to inform the security but to no avail.

“We are still compiling the names of those killed, but for now, we lost about six of our people, while 11 persons are in various hospitals.

Reacting to the incident, the lawmaker representing the Irigwe/Rukuba constituency in the state House of Assembly, Mr. Musa Agah described the situation as terrible.

He alleged that the attacks by gunmen were a conspiracy by Fulani herdsmen to exterminate his people from their ancestral lands.

According to Agah, “What is baffling is that these attacks and killings are happening within the community hosting the headquarters of 3rd Armored Division of the Nigerian Army. How do you explain attacks that lasted for over four hours without the presence of any security to stop the gunmen?

“You can imagine the conspiracy as the gunmen eventually killed at least seven persons and set over 200 houses ablaze. We are at the mercy of God. Our people have held several peace meetings with herdsmen but it appears that the meetings were of no use, because each time there is security meeting either at the state or local government level, the next thing you hear is another attack.

“As a member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, I have severally drawn attention of the House to what is happening in my constituency, but our powers have been limited due to the failure of the executive arm to act according.

Meanwhile, a fresh round of violence and gun shuts engulfed the Gada Biu/Polo area of the state yesterday evening following the attacks in the villages.

Hiding from his core responsibility forming sleeping

Lalong is the perfect example of how governors sell out their states in order to be in the good books of the Fulani presidential cabal.

Can Nigerians ever be Lucky in terms of getting a good leader

North will burry ITSELF!

I always say this and I will continue to say it.

Plateau State is very beautiful but they have an unfortunate burukutu sipping Governor who doesn't care about his people.

It is so unfortunate that he always do the biddings of his Fulani masters just to retain his Northern Governors chairman position.


Lalong does not have any idea on what leadership is, he is clueless, he only wanted to be Governor and since he got what he wanted he doesn't know the pros and cons of leadership.



What a shame of a Governor

Plateau has never had this bad.

Lalong is such a disgrace to indigenous peoples of Plateau.

I hear he was promised the presidency or vice presidency by the Fulani cabals.

But it won’t be long before the Fulani pay for every pin they ever have stepped on.

Na today?

It is well.
