Let these troops keep an eye for criminals herders in that axis as well.

Security always takes out the potential resistance before the evil herders strike
Hmmmm, most likely

Really? Are we sure about this? Hope this is not a vigilante they are dismantling. Make people begin protect themselves as Nigeria government is just looking for victims they can use to beg for more money.
Which dirty vigilante?

I can tell you categorically that these so-called vigilantes are the biggest oppressors of their people.

Take OPC in the southwest as an example. The group. is a menace.

Take ESN in the South east as another group. The group is a disturbance to public peace.

Stop protecting evil. Don't let your hatred for your enemy be greater than your love for yourself.

Which obstacle?

You people will be talking anyhow. Do you realise you're giving free pass to criminals with this your reckless statement?

Isah Peter the terrorist of Benue that was arrested was a resistance?

The criminals that abducted a whole bus of muslim travellers in Plateau are also resistance?
Hope the army will be there to protect the villagers when your terrorists brothers strike the village

If he wasnt caught, all the crimes would have been heaped on the fulani. Let's condemn criminality in its totality without recourse to the tribal or religious affiliation of the criminals

No worry yourself, you see those guns and bullets you seeing there, they don't recognize you whether you're a Christian or a Muslim or an atheist. By the time one of the bullets settles into your body, you will understand that there are evil people in every religion and tribe.
A religion when powerful gets to decide what is evil or not. Mohammed or Jesus will decide.

Hopefully we won't end up with an Oke Ode (Kwara) situation in this place. One wonders if the arms are not meant for the people's protection against the terrorists.

We have never seen or heard them burst fulani marauders amoury, only the amoury of the indigenous people who are using it to safe guard themselves against the fulani killers...in the coming days you would hear of fulani attacking that community and killing people...

Army would come in to disarming the locals by day then fulani would swope in to do the killing in the night...same modu operandi...

Allegedly within that axis especially there women,
People that usually hire out AK47 and munitions for rent.after operation they return the unused munition and pay for the used once.
Munitions are rented out to criminals for operational purposes within this region that the army operated and it is usually by women.women like the one in the posted picture are the one running the business

That axis are weired.

Why doesn't army ever burst Fulani herder's armoury? You will never see where Fulani get disarmed. The ones caught in Kwara state said they were working under the NSA office and were promptly let go!
Were you the one that let them go?
Or do you have any proof to show us they were released?

Yes they were working under the NSA, they were vigilantees and hunters who were working as spys for the NSA.
It is easier for them to move around in the forest, even if the bandits see them it won't be much of an issue, they can then report location to NSA.
Vigilante and hunters with assault rifles like AK 47? Make Una no worry, jungle go mature and hand go touch dem very soon
Sooner or later, this country will implode and it will be all man for himself. We are getting there gradually.

See hypocrite. Because he wanted to hear such name Abdullahi but was shocked to hear John. You people refused to get it into Western media gaslighted skull that terrorism has no tribe nor religion but your chronic islamaphobic tendencies refused to let you people learn.

Hypocrisy is "When Musa commit a crime, he is tagged a Terrorist. But when John commit a crime he is tagged a warrior or he is abnormal" Let's condemn criminality devoid of tribal or religious affiliation of the criminals

They will always disarm the villagers and leave them at the mercy of the herdsmen

What do they mean by Taraba kingpin?

Interesting how Taraba Kingpin is also a Christian.

If he wasn't nabbed they would have claimed he's a fulani or Muslim.

All the lies will be exposed with time in sha Allah.
What do the mean by Taraba kingpin? It's the usual way of disarming the villagers and leave them to their fate.

Taraba kingpin.

This would have been good if our military has track record of protecting Nigerian citizens, by dealing with terrorist organization. Sadly, most often than not from history, our military are known for been used to disarm communities only for Boko Haram, ISWAP and Bandits to invade them later, thus rendering communities defenseless.
In time past, I celebrate our military for this above reported feat, but after seeing this playbook a lot of times, nothing here to celebrate. Except if he is a Bandit. Nothing of such suggest such, neither is there any report of atrocities the said culprit has committed.
Citizens have the right to defend themselves when Government fails. Is he really a criminal, if he is, they should tell us the various criminal acts he has committed also with evidence by listing the areas where those acts where committed.

Eeeyah, he's not an Islamic bandit, rather a Christian bandit. So what will wailers and Bitter Obidients tell the deranged criminal in the white house about this?.
It is a testament that the islamic regime is eliminating all resistance to their agenda, don't surprised, this kingpin they are talking about, equipped himself to resist islam but no worry, the same United states are not fools like Nigerians such as you, they will still intervene again, and you will cry out your kidney, and no one will give an F.

As usual, Nigeria happened to the guy.

Reading that the so called burst took place in Christian state made me smell foul play

Good thing , Trump's imminent second wave of airs strike will do more than the seized guns would have done

Sokoto strike wiped out thousands of them in minutes in their super camp and safe haven that they never imagined anything existed that could penetrate


God bless Trump. God bless Tomahawk precision missiles

Blunt99:
It is because security fail to intercept Islamic Fulanis Terrorists, locals have to take laws into their hands.


Tag defenseless locals, terrorists because they dare to sort solution themselves, while leaving the Fulani Terrorists free access to terrorize.


I have seen this movie many times, and some years back in Benue.

The man was operating on his own ancestral land. What other answer to armed herds men?. I believe he is not a terrorist but a vigilante unless his people say he is a terrorist. They are pushing the country to catch fire

Remove politics, Nigeria is capable of taking out all the bandits, terrorists and kidnappers within few months. Thank you Trump if not for him this useless government would have allowed everyone died in this country

So, vigilante and hunters can be given AK47s. Why can't the NSA give Agbekoya, Amotekun and Ebube Agu the same AK47s to face bandits?
