The Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Benue State, Ardo Muhammad, and one other person identified as Yakubu Isah, have been killed by gunmen in Otukpo Local Government Area, triggering tension in parts of Otukpo and neighbouring Ohinmini Local Government Area.

It was gathered that the MACBAN chairman had attended a peace meeting allegedly convened by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ohinmini Local Government Area with leaders of Ayunne community on Friday.

After the meeting, Muhammad and his companion were reportedly travelling back when gunmen ambushed their vehicle at Okudu community in Otukpo Local Government Area, killing both occupants.

The deceased's eldest son, who confirmed the incident in a telephone interview with journalists on Friday night, said his father was ambushed and killed while returning from the meeting.

The Chairman of Otukpo Local Government Area, Maxwell Ogiri, confirmed the incident, saying the killings had heightened tension in the affected community and neighbouring areas.

"It is true that the state chairman of MACBAN was killed within Otukpo Local Government Area this afternoon. The killing has raised tension in the community and its environs," Ogiri said.

He appealed to residents to remain calm, assuring them that security operatives were on top of the situation.

Also confirming the incident, the Chairman of Ohinmini Local Government Area, Adole Gabriel, said the MACBAN chairman had attended the peace meeting convened by the DPO to address the lingering crisis in Ayunne community.

"You know there was a crisis in Ayunne community where some people were killed some time ago, and the DPO of Ohinmini convened a peace meeting with the Fulani herders and the community.

"I was told that the meeting was fruitful and, at the end of it, the man (MACBAN chairman) left. Unfortunately, I learnt that some gunmen ambushed his vehicle at Okudu community in Otukpo LGA and killed him along with one other person," Gabriel said.

The spokesperson for the Benue State Police Command, DSP Udeme Edet, also confirmed the incident, stating that the command had received the report and that investigations were ongoing.

Several communities in Otukpo and neighbouring Ohinmini Local Government Areas have witnessed repeated attacks by suspected armed herders in recent months.

Why Islamic Terrorists Should Join The Army

Islamic Terrorists are being forcefully integrated into the Nigeria Army as a part of a broader agenda. This is so that once enough of these individuals are integrated into the military, they will eventually seize control of the military leadership, stage a coup, overthrow the government, and establish an Islamic regime governed by Sharia law. It will not only stop there; they will murder all other non-muslims and murder also their perceived "less muslims" including the southwest muslims and turn Nigeria into an Islamic enclave.

Islam is an international political ideology - disguise as a religion - aim at conquering other people's territory, to kill the aboriginal people and to dominate them. This is evident all over the world where sharia law is practiced. And, let me bring you close to home; the northern Nigeria is predominantly Hausas, but it is very hard to see an Hausa man today as a local government chairman talkless of Governor because the Fulanis have taken over using religion.

Now, they are planning to take over Nigeria through the back door of integrating terrorist into the Army.

They will enroll enough of these Islamic terrorists into the military so that when they have the enough numbers people and access to weaponry and intelligent secrets of the army, they will with the help of and fighting along with other terrorists seize control of the military leadership, stage a coup, overthrow the government, and establish an Islamic regime governed by Sharia law.

If you say that Islamic terrorists are killing muslims also, those muslims (or mosques) bombed belongs to rival Islamic sects and/or those that do not fully support the full Islamic ideology or preach against it. And for muslims in the southern Nigeria, especially those in the southwest Yorubaland, they in the north are already telling you that you are not religiously muslim enough.

The Quran contain several passages that commands muslims to fight, kill, kidnap and terrorize non-believers and take over their land and possessions (condemning non-muslims as "infidels"; This is no longer a secret as these passages are available in many translations of the Quran available online. The islamists you commonly call extremists are the real muslims that follows the command of Allah.

Now you should understand why some people don't see anything wrong with banditry and terrorism and why they want the integration of terrorist tagged "repentant" into the Nigeria Army.

The question we should keep asking include:

1. Why is there greater concern for the rehabilitation and welfare of former Islamic terrorists than for their victims?

2. What is the fate of the victims of terrorism? What support is available for the families of soldiers who lost their lives fighting terrorism?

3. What is the rationale behind integrating former terrorists into the same military alongside soldiers who lost their comrades fighting those terrorists?

4. Would any serious country with a vision for its future integrate former terrorists into its military—or even into its local vigilante groups?

If the government genuinely wants to rehabilitate Islamic terrorists, why not establish livestock and crop farms and employ them there? Alternatively, why not establish factories—for example, vehicle manufacturing plants—and employ them in those industries instead of integrating them into the Nigerian Army?

Fulani does not have monopoly of being murderous or violent

Incognito403:
Oh, so you're now celebrating criminals.

As I always say, no Nigerian christian should be trusted. Anyone that can tolerate the evil being perpetrated in Gaza is capable of doing similar of given the chance.

Y'all want to turn this country into an apartheid state against muslims but you will never succeed. Every evil plan will always end in failure in shaa Allah.

Incognito403:
To think someone spent his life to type this salad and posted it online thinking he did something noble. That shows the level of brainrot in our country and this forum.

gbadexy:
They could have respected the peace. It's a different thing if he was attacked under a different circumstance.
It may appear good to some now but a dangerous precedent is being laid. Use of peace talks to lure people out and refusal of peace talks entirely.
