The presence of their Dane guns, traditionally used for hunting in Northern Nigeria.

Oh, in Rivers state its the presidents business
But in Edo state its now the governors business.
I see what you guys are doing......you are moving the goal post, when it suits you!!
Like I said earlier and I will repeat again, you lack knowledge.

In rivers state, it’s the governor and the ex-governor that’s responsible for the problem in the state. You can’t have a man who’s meant to be protecting lives and properties, fighting and causing unrest in his state.
What do you do when the states becomes a violent state?. Is that when the president should step in?.. Don’t even compare issues of rivers with any other state, it shows how unlettered one could be if we compare it to other states issues.

Edo Vs Hausa clash.

E go dey bloody sha. But hausas have done sacrilege that is more than this.

The amount of blood that has been spilled in this country can create another millions of human beings in another uninhabited country or planet
The Igbos alone that was killed during the Biafra war war was 6 million people which I could boldly say it currently makes up 3 generations of 18 Million people.

I know this because everyone who was alive when that happened ought to have a grandchild now.

If each has just one child that gave birth to a child that's 18 Million people which is currently population of the Netherlands. Just a rough estimate but the figure could triple because most people give birth to 3 or 2 kids.

It's just funny when people just expect them to forget so easily. Nigeria owes the Igbos an apology.

One of the dead is the uncle of a friend. He is a well known hunter that travels through the bushes interstate. They just killed Hausa innocents just like that

The activities of the fulni herdsmen has put a lot of fulanis in danger especially in the south.
Their elites not helping matters by advising them to rgululte their activities instead they support all their actions including detoying people farms
These are not even Fulanis.. They are Hausa Hunters... Have you ever heard of any crime from one

BabaAduras:
You are totally correct.

While I do not agree with the jungle justice, I am sure there is more to this than meet the eyes.
During Sallah, Hunters visits the Emir to display.. They normally shot at the skys. So that's why they traveled with it.

But they ought to know the security situation of Nigeria and how Fulani herdsmen have been going about killing Nigerian farmers. You cannot entirely blame the angry mob because of how Fulani herdsmen have been going about killing Nigerians with government doing nothing about it.

So they should not blame the killers but the victims abi?

And why travel that far with their hunting guns knowing the security situation of Nigeria at the moment, it's really sad, sighs

Why travelling for Salla with their guns?
Are they not going for celebration, not 'work' which they do in the South?

Anyways, there are security tensions in the country, and people need to be alert
It's part of the celebration.. There's a festival we do in which hunters and kings guard shoot at the sky during Sallah

Hausas are different from foòl anis.
Most hausas are very hardworking and don't make trouble. As neighbours, you'll see them as labourers and artisans.
Most of the trouble is caused by foòl anis and not hausas.

This mix-up is always annoying. Educate yourself.
It annoys and pain me so much wallah. Hausa's are not Fulanis. How many times have you heard a Hausa Hunter committing crimes with his gun

Una dey mad, you dey travel from one state to another far state with guns without license and you say it's for hunting.Its that same gun they use in alleged hunting that they also use majorly for kidnappings, criminals.
Who told you they don't have one.. Would you guys even mind it before killing them

Was justice served in Deborah Samuel's case?

Asonaijaaso:
Nigeria is burning—literally. In broad daylight, human beings are being hunted, brutalized, and set ablaze on federal roads, and the government does nothing. Instead of tackling the escalating lawlessness, mob justice, and security collapse, Tinubu and his cronies are obsessed with power consolidation—silencing political opponents, removing governors, and installing loyalists who will not challenge him.

Where is the outrage? Where is the leadership? How does a so-called Commander-in-Chief allow citizens to be executed like animals while he wages proxy wars against Natasha, Fubara, Achimugu, and Emir Sanusi? When a government fails to protect its people, it has no legitimacy.

Tinubu swore an oath to keep Nigeria safe. He has failed. He removed a whole governor for oil pipelines, but when it comes to human lives, his silence is deafening. If Edo is not immediately declared a state of emergency, Tinubu will forever be remembered as the President who let Nigerians burn in the streets while playing politics with gangsters like Wike and Ganduje.


If Tinubu cannot lead with decisiveness, the Senate must begin impeachment proceedings—so he can stop his power games and start governing. The North will never forget this betrayal if action is not taken. You had the balls to do it before, Mr. President. Do it again.

Don't even go there because there was no basis for what those mobs did. No crime committed by the victims to begin with. So, don't tell me about people or citizens not having confidence in the government
What they did was a mob action. For several individuals to act same way , spontaneous, means that something is seriously wrong somewhere. Let's not downplay that...but what they did was barbaric and inhuman. I can't imagine sponsoring or doing that to my worst enemy.

When I saw the pictures of the dane guns in the earlier thread I just knew innocent hunters have been unjustly mobbed to death.... May Almighty God rest their souls and justice be served
When did Hausas start moving to southern Nigeria for hunting purposes? I just feel those guys might be among the herdsmen that have been terrorizing the south. The audacity with which they carried weapons is akin to those killer herdsmen!

I am sure those bastard vigilantes have identity, start by arresting them and their families, they will point out the others. Why will they just waste people's lives like this for no just reason, are they not supposed to working with the police. Edo no dey carry last; Una carry last for here. What manner of senseless killings are these huh

Asonaijaaso:
Lets see if he has the same energy he had for Fubara, Natasha, Emir Sanusi and Achimugu.
They only sabotaged a pipeline in Rivers, he removed the governor

Now they have killed and burnt human beings on the road while being transported in public transport.
Hunters going home for Sallah with their tools.

We are watching, I am sure a lot of people are waiting to see. His actions could make or mar his presidency going forward.
If he shows same party leniency.....he is toast.

This is what happens when you elect party cronies to all sensitive positions. The NSA and NOA should have issued security awareness to all governors that the festive period is here and a lot of movement will be happening.
Most of you deluded obedient are a huge joke.i know you all just want to see the country burn. children of edition wo are mentally sick. So in your silly mind, a state of emergency can be issued over this incident then you must be truly sick in your head. has the government collapsed just like it collapsed in River State where the said governor was threatening to blow up oil installation.

The hunters killed were Hausa and not Fulanis and Fulanis don't like Hausa. As a matter of fact, they (Fulanis) don't care of Hausa are wiped out of the face of Nigeria.

That's why people like El-Rufai have not said anything. It is only Kwankwaso who is an Hausa.

So don't expect any retaliation from Herdsmen

We don't want their apologies, what we want is Biafra they can go to hell with their abominable and half-baked apologies.

Why are they always carrying guns, are these northerners the only people allowed to carry guns around? Damn! Fvck em.

The kidnappers and troublers of the Southern Forest were going back to the North for Sallah, to return back after Sallah.

The mindset of Nigeria is our inheritance made them travel with guns... What impunity!

If it were to be Southerners, Police would arrest you for possession of arms. Now, see the lame defense being given because they are Northerners.

One day is for the thief, another is for the owners of the house.

Go meet your maker, and hear what he has to say to you!

That is not a rest in peace... For I can't determine that.

Prove to me they didn't have license.
Did you search them for licenses before burning them with tires.
I wasn’t there so no prove.. and you should prove to me they’re hunters and where’s there proof of license.. ? Cause it’s the first time I hear people who are not military or security personnel traveling in numbers with arms in already insecure( unknown gunmen everywhere) Nigeria.. what police department did they report to when they came in for the hunt from far north.. and h when they were leaving what police department did they as well report to

if truly there’re the ones I wouldn’t argue too much but still no where in the constitution permits anyone to move around with fire arms interstate.. you can’t be coming in numbers from your state to another state bearing those kinda weapons.. I don’t encourage jungle justice but the pains people with guns like this have caused lot of villagers without the intervention of Government will lead to more of this even in the future should cadres like that repeat itself

I agree with you, they should have gotten documentation from the police and shown the driver. But jungle justice is not the solution. When i was a youth corper a youth corpers girlfriend was caught stealing in a corpers lodge. We had to intervene and take her to the police at midnight as they were about to lynch her. My point is jungle justice can affect the wrong person.It has to be discouraged.
