The Nasarawa State crisis which,
pitted the Eggon tribe against
the Alago, took a frightening turn
after two Eggon men, said to be
brothers, were beheaded.
Peter Abaku, 32, and his brother,
James, 28, both refugees in Lafia,
the state capital, as a result of the
conflict in Nasarawa, were said
to be returning to Obi in Eggon
area, where they had lived, to
move their properties when they
were ambushed by some Alago
men. The incident, according to
report, happened on Monday.
The Abaku brothers died a
horrifying death.
*Razed houses…a sad reminder
of the Nasarawa conflict
An eye witness, who
accompanied them on the ill-
fated trip but escaped, said the
assailants tied the victims to a
tree, plucked out their eyes,
removed their hearts before
beheading them. An Eggon youth
leader, who spoke anonymously
to Sunday Vanguard in Lafia, said
he and some of his kinsmen
visited the scene of murder in
the company of Nasarawa State
Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Abubakar, and met the two
brothers dead and tied to a tree
with parts of the bodies
removed.
According to him, the police
commissioner pleaded with them
not to allow the matter get out of
hand by taking the law into their
hands. “It was such a horrible
sight seeing two brothers killed
and parts of their bodies
removed”, the youth leader
lamented.
The bodies were said to have
been taken to Dalhatu Specialist
Hospital, Lafia but were later
released by the police to relations
and buried in Tudun Gwandara
on Tuesday.

Worried by media reports over
the attacks on Atakad community
by alleged Fulani herdsmen, the
Chairman, National Human Rights
Commission (NHRC), Prof. Chidi
Odinkalu, has been briefed on
the matter by Gurara Forum – a
group of southern Kaduna
indigenes campaigning for
peace, justice and the realisation
of Gurara State from the present
Kaduna State.
Meanwhile, a conflict was averted
in Kafanchan, in Jema’a Local
Government Area of Kaduna
State, as natives protested the
murder of some worshippers in
a local church and the stabbing
to death of three villagers at the
outskirts of Katsit inhabited
mainly by Hausa settlers. The
deaths occurred close to a bridge
that connects Kastit and Kurdan
village where one of the victim,
Ibrahim Silas, came from.
Another victim, a mechanic,
Ibrahim, according to Sunday
Vangaurd source, was killed and
his body mutilated.
The Atakad live about 250km
south-east of Kaduna metropolis,
on the range of hills that extends
from Kagoro, in Kaduna State up
to the Ganawuri in Plateau State,
spreading southwards to form
the Mada hills in Nasarawa State.
*File photo: Umar…on the
hospital bed after attack from
Fulani herdsmen
Atakad hills are of profound
historical and cultural importance
to southern Kaduna, serving as a
fort for many tribal groups
during ancient wars, mainly
waged by Jihadists and slave
raiders of the 1800s. According
to historians, that range of hills
formed one of the major reasons
southern Kaduna was never
conquered by invaders.
Blessed with perennial streams,
and lush grassland and woods,
the Atakad hills are a magnet for
herdsmen, who, as long as
memory can recollect, lived
happily with their hosts, even
during the 2011 post-election
violence that saw the exodus of
Fulani in some parts of southern
Kaduna.
But, all that went awry last April.
Two dead Fulani cows, allegedly
poisoned in Zankan, an up hill
Atakad village owned, introduced
blood bath in the Atakad villages
in Kaduna and Plateau States.
Subsequent invasion of the
villages by alleged Fulani
herdsmen led to the killing of not
less than 50 people, and the
displacement of about 10,000
natives who were secured under
harsh conditions in three
refugee camps in Atakad
chiefdom.
Adu, a small Atakad farming
village that prospered through
irrigation and livestock, was
attacked in the early morning
hours of September 1, leaving
seven persons dead. Six Fulani
men, said to have been arrested
by neighbouring villagers while
washing their blood stained
clothes by sunrise that morning,
were taken to Kaduna for
investigation, as confirmed by
Kaduna State Police Command
spokesman, DSP Aminu Lawan, to
Sunday Vangaurd.
Gurara Forum, led by Mr. Vincent
Bodam, asked the NHRC to
intervene on the attacks on the
Atakad people. The Forum also
invited critical stakeholders from
southern Kaduna, including the
representastives of the Atakad at
the National Assembly, the
Southern Kaduna Peoples Union,
(SOKAPU), the Atakad cfhiefdom,
academics and legal minds from
southern Kaduna for the briefing.
After listening to the woes that
had befallen the Atakad people,
Odinkalu said he would also hear
from the Fulani.
“I am here on a learning mission
after all that has taken place. I
have heard from you. There is no
excuse whatsoever for people to
live under such conditions. I am
going to have a meeting with the
Fulani people and I will also hear
from their side. After that, the
Commission will undertake a tour
of the affected villages. This will
give us better glimpse of the
situation. And I hope something
will be done about this”, the
NHRC said.
Kafanchan was under 24 hour-
curfew after trouble broke out
over alleged murder of
worshippers in a church and the
killing of a woman and two men
as they made their way back to
their villages from Kafanchan.
Natives pointed accusing fingers
at Hausa/Fulani Muslim residents
in the town.
Muslims and Christians
relationship had been at all time
low since after the 2011 post-
presidential election violence,
which led to a large section of
Christian residents and business
premises torched. Mosques and
Muslim businesses and homes in
Christian strongholds were also
attacked. No one is sure of the
exact casualty, but it was in
scores. The Hausa/Fulani Muslim
community makes up less than
20% of the population of
Kafanchan with the controversial
Jema’a Emirate boasting of about
three major streets only. It is said
to be the smallest emirate ever.
The Tuesday mayhem led to the
burning of more shops, two
private hospitals and a private
school. According to the Fantsam
Foundation, its clinic treated five
gunshot victims. Sunday
Vanguard could not confirm any
loss of life.
Soldiers were drafted to the
town and stopped the spreading
violence, before a 24-hour
curfew was slammed over the
area.
A statement from the governor
of Kaduna State, Alh. Mukhtar
Rammalan Yero, signed by
Ahmed Maiyaki, Director General,
Media and Publicity, urged the
people of the area to shun
rumors and any act capable of
disrupting peace and order.
The statement said, “Security
agencies have already
commenced investigation into
the matter and will soon
apprehend those found culpable.
“The governor has also directed
the state bureaus of both Islamic
and Christian Affairs to
commence the process of
sensitizing followers of the two
faiths in the area and engage
religious leaders on the need to
continue to peacefully coexist as
one people.
“The governor has also asked
security agencies to provide
maximum surveillance in
Kafanchan and environs towards
ensuring the maintenance of law
and order”.

Another boat mishap has
occurred in Kokoli village in
Borgu Local Government Area of
Niger state with 18 people
feared dead.
This tragedy came barely six days
after the boat mishap in Malale
village along River Niger in the
LGA in which 26 lives were lost.
Our correspondent gathered that
10 corpses from the latest
tragedy had being recovered.
It was also gathered that, out of
the 18 feared dead, 16 were
women.
It was gathered that the boat
capsized while conveying traders
from the weekly Thursday
market from Kokoli village to
Ulakami at about 4pm.
The boat was said to be carrying
no fewer than 80 passengers
when it suddenly broke into two
half way into their journey.
One of the survivors, called Umar
Ibrahim, told newsmen that they
were only half way into their
journey when the boat suddenly
split into two with the
passengers drowning.
According to him, “we had just
gone to the middle of the
journey which is about 10
kilometres when the boat split
into two and people started
screaming and falling into
water”.
He said because of his
experience in swimming, he was
able to swim to safety and also
able to rescue about 10 people,
mainly women and children.
The survivor said the casualties
would have been more if not for
the rescue operation by the
captain of the boat and other
passengers in the boat who rose
to the occasion by rescuing other
passengers who could not swim.
The village head, Mohammed
Garba, confirmed that after
frantic search, 18 people were
ascertained dead and recovered.

In one of the first lengthy
interviews he has given since
ascending to the papacy in
March, Pope Francis said he
believes the Catholic Church has
grown too “obsessed” with
social issues like abortion, birth
control, and gay marriage. The
pope’s statement is a sharp
departure from many of the
other leaders in the Church, who
have recently been pressuring
him to take a stronger stance on
those issues.
“It is not necessary to talk about
these issues all the time,” Pope
Francis told an Italian outlet. “The
dogmatic and moral teachings of
the church are not all equivalent.”
U.S. Catholic Bishops have been
criticized for focusing almost
exclusively on social issues — like
advocating against marriage
equality and fighting against
Obamacare’s birth control benefit
— at the expense of the Church’s
other teachings on social justice
issues.
But the leader of the Catholic
Church said that the religion
needs to “find a new balance” on
the moral teachings that it
prioritizes. “Otherwise, even the
moral edifice of the church is
likely to fall like a house of cards,
losing the freshness and
fragrance of the Gospel,” the
pope explained.
In the United States, Catholic
laypeople tend to disagree with
the stance that the Bishops have
staked out on social issues. Most
Catholics support marriage
equality, and a full 82 percent of
Catholics think birth control is
morally acceptable. And 63
percent of Catholics support a
woman’s right to choose and
don’t favor overturning Roe v.
Wade.
In recent months, Pope Francis
has made a name for himself as
somewhat of a populist leader.
He has indicated he may
welcome gay priests, personally
called a rape victim to comfort
her, condemned austerity
policies for harming the poor,
invited homeless people to eat
with him at the Vatican, and
gone out of his way to be
welcoming toward atheists,
Muslims, and women.
In the new interview, Francis
pointed out that the Church
should be “a home for all, not a
small chapel that can hold only a
small group of selected people.”

THE corpses of the Police
Micro-Finance Bank Managing
Director, Alhaji Hassan and
Manager of the bank, Mr
Tunde Banwo who were killed
by the outlawed Ombatse
militiamen and buried by the
riverside alongside their
vehicle at Tundun-Adabu, in
Obi Local Government Area of
Nasarawa State, have been
exhumed, on Wednesday.
When the Nigerian Tribune
visited the Police Command
around 7.30 p.m., the
exhumed bodies were laid at
the back of police hilux vehicle
before they were later taken
to Dalhatu Araf Specialist
Hospital (DASH) in Lafia, the
state capital.
Informed police source
confided in the Nigerian
Tribune that the two police
bank top brass who had since
last Saturday been declared
missing, were found dead and
buried alongside their Toyota
Corolla saloon car by the
riverside at Tundun-Adabu
Village.
It was learnt that two top
officials of the bank, who
resided in Abuja and worked
at the Force Headquarters
were in Lafia, on Saturday, for
the wedding ceremony of one
of the children of the Police
Commissioner-in-charge of
Cooperative.
According to an impeccable
source who preferred
anonymity, “the two top
officials of the bank, with the
driver, Sergeant Aliyu Adamu,
came for a wedding ceremony
in Lafia but they missed the
road while trying to check out
of the state. They were later
ambushed by Ombatse boys
who took them to the bush,
killed the three of them, set
them ablaze with the car and
buried them with the same car
by the riverside. The
militiamen dug the ground to
the size of the car and buried
them there.”
