Is Oga Seun aware that people are struggling to read and comment on the news because of font sizes?

More money to Defence Ministry top brass. Boko haran and banditry are not going to end soon until Niger Delta free oil money ends

Summary: incompetence and lack of coordination. The DSS did a good job by providing credible and actionable intel well ahead of time but the army simply did not do what they are supposed to do.

Its so sad. Hundreds of avoidable deaths due to lack of will or outright competence.

So the DSS knows and acknowledges them as "Fulani Militias" and “suspected armed Fulani mercenaries” but the Governor of Benue is still having difficulties mentioning the word "Fulani"

Government KNOWS those attacking the people of Benue, they know their hideout, they know their attack routes but choose to do nothing.
Is it a Federal prob or State problem? Benue Gov is to blame, as well as CDS.
DSS warned them & they are too big to act on it.

If i become President or NSA, omo head go too roll fr ground, cos di way i go gv DSS power to hunt & shoot defaulters eh, e go pass Adolf hitler😂😂

This excuses is unacceptable coming from the Chief of Defense, you shouldn't take any other information from any source above the ones given to you by the DSS, they had been at the nooks and crannies gathering information for weeks. Some of the local sources might be sympathetic to these attackers, and truly , at the end of the day, you were fooled by the so called " fake attack".


-Kiss the truth!
I am not sure this is entirely the fault of security agents. No matter the amount invested in security, people should sue for peace and embrace peace
Army should not even be the one doing this bit police because we will shout massacre if army brings on its full force.

can you explain why the heads are not rolling?

who is supposed to make the heads roll and why is the person not making the heads roll?

what stopped the DSS from breaking up those behind the networks that were planning the attacks?

are you really kissing the truth?

To be candid, these are terrorist attack in disguise undecided

Its not a gap. It was deliberate. Only God knows the pact Tinubu signed with these killers just as he signed with Wike

Nigerian army is complacent in the whole Fulani herdsmen terrorists attacks all over Nigeria, it is no longer news.


My only worry is why Tinubu haven't done any serious thing to change this, how you may ask?

From reports of past years and recent times, anytime Fulani herdsmen wants to attack a community, Nigerian army usually storm that community to disarm any vigilante group and even make random arrests, days later Fulani herdsmen terrorists will strike that community. And once they strike, Nigerian army will crawl out from their hiding to prevent the community youths from carrying out a reprisal attack on Fulanis.


The solution?


Stop posting Hausa-Fulani Generals to be the GOC of any army barrack outside Northwest and Northeast.


Let every GOC of army barrack in any Nigerian state be an indigene of that state, or at worst someone from that region if the state doesn't have enough Generals to appoint as GOC.


Stop posting Hausa-Fulani Generals to be the commanding officers of army barracks in Middlebelt states, Southeast states, SouthSouth states and Southwest states. They should be posted to Northwest and Northeast states.
The Department of State Services (DSS) wrote to Moses Gara, commander of operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), about planned attacks on communities in Benue and Nasarawa states in May, according to a leaked memo.
Do you know which region Major Moses Gara is from?, Una just want to talk

Useless people. How can they be so shameless. They are accomplice. How can all the troops left the same time.

Our Intelligence and Security Force's are never proactive.
The same way they were warned at the infant stage of Boko Haram by the CIA, that Boko Haram must be eliminated fast or it will become a big terrorist group linked to some Middle East Jihadist. They did nothing.
Today the length and breathe of Nigeria is overwhelmed with insecurity.

Correct even Tinubu talking about the matter appeared to have been told this was a communal class between two tribes etc...thanks to the Brave and erudite Tor-Tiv who chose not to play politics but told them in clear terms that this has been an ongoing genocide and a terrorist attack....period!

Do the same with Police Commissioners and Deputy Police Commissioners and watch Fulani herdsmen terrorists attacks die a natural death.



Will Tinubu do this? NO!

Why? He is ruling Nigeria with politics of abracadabra, he is not really interested in delivering quality leadership that will impact Nigerian people's lives positively.



The implication?


Fulani herdsmen attacks will continue, sadly
you are correct are you on X?
I would love to follow you.
I love how you reason.

"In the memo, DSS said its checks revealed that the planned attack was to avenge an alleged seizure of some cows by the state government".

Let me tell you this for free I work as a PHC Mentor for all the BHCF in Doma LGA in Nasarawa State and all these news is 100% correct. The mecenaries pass through Lafia on bikes, and hid in bushes in Doka community, Akpanaja, Rukubi . Now even the Nasarawa state government knows about this but are not doing a single thing. I have not been able to visit Doka PHC for about 3 months now because of insecurity. Akpanaja have had series of clashes between Tiv and Fulani people.
Isn't it high time we equip out forest guards with enough training, guns and other equipments in other to make life safe for our people?
Isn't it high time open grazing be stopped?
All these mercenaries came in form of herders and commit this massacre and our leaders are encouraging them. How many lives would be lost before something can be done about it
