Recidivists like you never learn.

Even in the face of glaring facts you act blind.

A man identified as Chima Amadi has revealed that Former governor, Gabriel Suswam, who was recently arrested by the Department of state security services, DSS, once engaged in a gun battle with Fulani Herdsmen.

Amadi, took to Twitter to narrate how Suswam also predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari would have him arrested. PoliticsNGR has gotten his tweets, read them below;

Suswam stilled his look at me and took a deep sigh and said “Doc, I am certain that Buhari will arrest me very soon, not because of any corruption but because he knows I know too much about these killings. He won’t stop the killings”.This was in 2016 but first a background. Thread

I was just settling down in London in 2016 as a Chevening Scholar at the London School of Economics when I got a desperate call from a friend who is from Benue. She was weeping and told me stories of ongoing massacres in her village by Herdsmen with no one reporting them while

CSOs and influencers went silent. She said no one wanted to speak up cos they all supported the new govt of PMB. I informed her that I also campaigned and support the govt but that was no reason to condone the kind of murders that she just described. I promised to get back to her

And started surfing the net for any information on ongoing killings in the Benue. True to what she told me, information was scanty with only untrustworthy blogs and citizen reporters alluding to anything of the sorts. The Benue state Gov Ortom himself was singing the praises of

The new govt. knowing who this friend was, I knew she was not one to raise a false alarm especially when she had told me that five of her uncles in the village had already Benn hacked to death. She sent me picture evidence via WhatsApp. I made some calls back home but most

The usual vocal voices were not interested. The opinion then was that the outgone govt of GEJ messed up and it would take time for things to come back to normal esp as there were signs that the Boko Haram terrorists were being repressed and overwhelmed by the new admin.

However, when I saw more pictures and videos, this time of pregnant women being disemboweled by the herdsman and some local youths engaging in Cannibalism( roasting and eating a herdsman), I knew I had to act. I flew into Nigeria the next week and started putting in place

A CSO Colloquium on the crises . My approach was to use my networks and connections to get prominent figures from both divides to come speak in a nationally televised event. The Sec-Gen of the Miyyeti Allah is someone I have known very closely for over 20 years.

I then reached out to some Benue Citizens and that was how I contacted Gabriel Suswam, the former Gov of Benue state. After a few hiccups we finally met late one night in his home. What he told me was chilling. Due to National Security concerns I will not reveal certain aspects

Of our discussion, but he was very bitter. He said during the transition between GEJ’s govt and the incoming PMB administration, he was summoned to the Villa and GEJ took him to the then President -Elect. GEJ told PMB in Suswam’s presence that he wants only one favor from PMB

He told PMB that he didn’t care if he was probed or if his administration’s efforts at national development was reversed but PMB should please do something for him. According to Suswam,GEJ informed PMB that the brewing Herdsmen crises could eclipse the BH insurgency in its

Ramifications and implications for national cohesion and that if not tackled with expediency Nigeria may not recover.He said he had set up a committee chaired by Suswam to travel round the world looking for solutions and that they now fully have a plan that can resolve the issue

Once and for all. He begged PMB to invite Suswam for talks and to look at the recommendations of that committee. Suswam told me that he was made the Chair of the committee for an incident that happened in his state. Sometime in 2014, herdsman had sacked whole villages, killed,

raped women and burnt farms and homes of communities in rural areas in Benue. He said he didn’t believe the reports he was getting until he started seeing refugees pouring into Makurdi. One day, he mobilized his entourage which included policemen, press, soldiers and others

And proceeded to see things for himself in those communities. He said when they got to a few kilometres to the village the soldiers in his convoy, acting on instructions from HQ refused to proceed any further but he insisted on continuing. Ten minutes into the trip all hell was

Let loose. They were ambushed by Herdsmen and a battle ensued. A barrage of gunshots was unleashed on them from all sides. He said there were over 100 well-armed Herdsmen shooting at them. Done in the convoy retreated but he was already in the middle and so decided to fight for

His life. He took an AK from one of the retreating mopol men and with a few others that remained with him faced the Herdsmen fire for fire. He told me he was a trained marksman having lived in the US. In the process, two one of his security aides were shot but they continued

Fighting until the Herdsmen retreated. He said he left for Markurdi and returned the next day fully prepared and saw how villages had been taken over by cows. This time, the Herdsmen didn’t shoot him and some of them pulled out their phones and were snapping him. He decided

There and then that if he did nothing Benue would be overrun. He took actions that saw to a curtailing of the actions of these killers. It was against this backdrop that GEJ made him the chairman of the Committee. I am tired now. When I get some rest I will narrate the encounter

Between Suswam and PMB and why the latter feared for his life. keep a date . Sorry for any typos pls.

You see yourself?

I provided proof.

You provided a Facebook page.

What's even sad is you did not even bother to read the Facebook page.

Had you done so, you would have found you buttressed my point .

Goodluck Jonathan is a life patron of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore. But for you, God forbid we call his name .

Shameless thing.

GavelSlam:
Facebook ??

GavelSlam:
They always seem to flee whenever I remind them Goodluck Jonathan is their life patron.

Shame.

GavelSlam:
I'm waiting for your evidence of Buhari being the life patron of Miyetti Allah.

GavelSlam:
You are the supporters of evil.

You don't like Buhari, fine.

But always trying to link him to situations which no one can prevent to score your cheap points must be doing God's work.

I will continue to scream it that in fact Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore is a group in which Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has interest.

Let Timi Frank talk to him.

There are many newts without a speck which one could call a brain on this forum and I would never allow you guys sell an untrue narrative as long as I live.

integrator:
This is serious
A leader that has eveything to lose in terms of 2019 elections still allows this kind of carnage to go on unchecked.
Imagine if they win 2019 elections (second term, with nothing to lose) I foresee bloodbath everywhere.
Benue, Kogi, Taraba, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kaduna South, Adamawa, Parts of Edo and Ondo, Parts of Enugu should all get ready!!!

I am a confirmed Nigerian [my parents from Akwa Ibom and Benue; my wife's parents from Oyo and Delta] so its not about tribalism but the truth as i see it. By the way I am out of the country but Nigeria is our only home.

flex04:
This guys can keep on playing politics with nairalanders which is a sure occurrence

but they should mark ma words Flex04 is uncommotionable

GavelSlam:
If you call him an APC chieftain, can you tell us what exco position he holds or what his isposition in the board of trustees?

Thank you.

KenOne:
Which one is APC chieftain again. Is Timi Frank still in APC? Timi Frank left APC the moment Lai Mohammed was made a minister and APC refused to make him substantial national publicity secretary in 2015.

He even left APC before his master Atiku left, so do us a favour and stop referring to him as APC chieftain.

Chuknovski:
hallelujah

ItsMeAboki:
Very silly deliberate misinterpretation of a statement accredited to Myetti Allah; what is even more annoying and irresponsible was the fact that many of the Newspapers were carrying the same untrue narrative in their headlines that the MACABN had taken responsibility for the killings - since when did giving an explanation for the cause of an incident amount to taking responsibility for it?

coolscott:
Cows may have been killed (we call that arson). Instead of asking that the cows be replace (if the cow story is even true in the first place) the owners of the cows decided the best thing to do was to make themselves the law and become judge and jury, deciding what sentence should be pronounced on those they believed killed their cows.

They sat and on their own decided that the punishment should be death and that it should be meted on anybody they lay eyes on in the suspected village.

They actually got up, took guns, and proceeded to inflict anyone they could see with death.

After the deed (mind you, no one knew any reason for the killing) they publicly explained that they believe 300 of their cows were killed by individuals from that village and that is why they proceeded to kill anyone in the village they could see, plus destroy houses.

If this government is not one we should be ashamed of, what is Danladi Ciroma, chairman, North Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, the man who provided the reasons for the murders still doing not being arrested?

A government that knows how to storm its chief judges' houses at night to whisk them away, suddenly is doing so many things (like deploying troops to the massacred area after the killers have left) except arresting the people who have claimed responsibility by explaining what grievance caused them to commit the crime?

This is what I seriously say:

If this corrupt, blood-drawing and repulsive disrespect for all of us as Nigerians, has continued up till this point (few months to the elections) one can only wonder the new levels of low these people will actively take us to, if we mistakenly vote them into power a second time.

They know there are elections around the corner, and look at the horror movie they feel okay directing.

What will they do when they know there is no election ahead of them anymore?

casualobserver1:
Wow for Kwankwaso to team up with Shekarau then things are getting tougher. That means that election in Kano will be so hot.

I appreciate you informing me about this. Politics Sha. No permanent enemy.

Ganduje needs to watch out

ALMUSTAQIM:
APC HAS JUST WON THE EKITI GOVERNORSHIP

GOD BLESS FAYEMI

APC! PROGRESS!

buhariguy:
The jobless lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra can go any length to show their stupid.ity.

This is not about anti-grazing law or farmers-herdsmen crisis.

It is simply, a retaliatory and counter-retaliation.

Folashade2016:
The real foolish guys will call this one foolish.

But mind you I am not an advocate of cheating but I believe love surpasses all wrong.


anyway just check my SIGNATURE

bolaino:
thank you sir for your advise I will put the first advise into consideration but as for the second Advise, Yes I had indeed written a Petition to the Police but I withdrew the Petition after my Lawyer received a Reply letter from the management of the bank from their headquarters in Lagos denying that my account does not belong to them nor the Phishing emails and they told my lawyer that I could seek to escalate the issue to law enforcement agencies, that was why i decided to withdraw my petition because I am afraid the Nigerian police could be bribed into trying to turn the case against me that is why I plan on taking the matter through the press and showing the world all the evidence for them to judge between me and Access Bank and ask them why do they want to go to the extent of killing me all because of my rights.

GMBuhari:
There can't be secret burial when their death was not in secret and i doubt Nigerian government has the MIB flash that wipes memory

THE BODIES will be released or given mass burial
