This driver faked them and told them he can't drive that he's weak that he will bring them to a place where he will put them into another car this driver drove them into Gboko town into the main garage.

Immediately he did as if he wanted to isse himself he went and told people that Fulani is inside his car before you know the whole place was surround and they brought them out and started beating them with rod, axes, firewood, sticks. As police were coming they saw a guy making phone call immediately they shot him on the stomach because the Tor tiv of Gboko warned them never to post it on net and Facebook so they taught the guy was calling more Fulani to come. When the Police tried to intervene Gboko boys beat them they ran away.
Within a twinkle of an eye they bought 20liters of fuel and tied them together and burnt them to death.

The whole of Gboko market ran away the Igbos locked the shops and ran away. The Tor tiv of Gboko said they shouldn't post this anywhere or else they will track the person and get the person. But i being a Nairalander lemme see how they will track me.

Owoseni disclosed this on yesterday while briefing newsmen in his office, and stated that the victims of the attack travelling either to Okene or Taraba when the hoodlums attacked, killed and burnt them to ashes.

The State Police boss added that policemen in the town quickly moved to the scene of the incident, stressing that some hoodlums at the park hurled stones at them.

“We got information around 11 am this morning that some hoodlums believed to be of Tiv stock between 9.30am and 10.am stormed a garage in Gboko where they attacked seven people believed to be of Fulani extraction, killed and burnt them.’

“The passengers were said to be in the park where they were trying to board commercial vehicle to Okene or Taraba, police in the area of the attack got information and rushed to the place but the criminals embarked on hurling stoned on the police.”

The CP however stated that some people have been arrested in connection with the crisis and have been brought to the state command to help the police with useful information.

Owoseni who condemned the act warned the people of the state that the command would not hesitate to ensure the arrest of anyone found culpable of the crisis.

He however dismissed any insinuation that the crisis has anything to do with ethnic, religion or political coloration but described it as a pure banditry.


Owoseni said that there was intelligence report that some people in and outside the state were planning attack on some communities along Benue and Nasarwa borders.

He added that the people wanted to cash on the recent crisis in Kadarko area of Nasarawa state, adding that the people had acquired sophisticated arms for the action.

“To me this will further escalate the security challenges that we are facing in the state, it is necessary to emphasize that police will not hesitate to deal decisively with criminal elements who want to take advantage the situation.”

Meanwhile the state government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in the troubled Gboko area till further notice.
