Being A Text Of A Press Release By The Movement Against Fulani Occupation MAFO In Response To The Declaration of War on Benue By The Fulani Terrorist Network.
Sunday 4th June, 2017
Makurdi – Nigeria
The Movement Against Fulani Occupation MAFO has noticed with great concern, the unchecked and inciting utterance of The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, A Fulani Association in a publication of the Nation’s Newspaper of 31st may 2017. In the Press release, the association condemned the recent Anti Open grazing Law of Benue State and vowed to mobilize their arsenals to resist it.
This statement has come at the heels of similar utterances by various splinter groups of the Fulani’s beginning with one Garus Gololo, then Chiroma and Saleh Bayari of MACBAN and GAFDAN respectively which in totality is clear revelation of their intentions to contravene a law Passed after the due processes of public hearings during which their inputs could have been received and perhaps processed. These statements are hateful, inciting and treasonable.
MAFO has received the threats to mobilize and resist this law as an open declaration of war on the Government and people of Benue State who have been under the savage attacks, plundering of our natural resources, sacking of our communities, killing of our unarmed people and occupation of our ancestral farmlands and homesteads since 2013.
It is regrettable that these open threats and previous cases of open admittance to the killing of Benue People by the Fulani militia under the excuse of cattle business is happening under the watch of the Federal Government and her security apparatus, in a federal charter that places equality at the Centre of Its treatment of all ethnicities, groups and individuals.
We, by this statement, adopt in totality the Position of the new Anti-grazing Law of Benue State, as well as the response from the state Government, the Benue State House of Assembly and all socio cultural groups on the recent threats. We also call on other neighboring states to lock arms with Benue State in a territorial synergy against the terror of Fulani herdsman.
We wish to remind the world that this same Fulani herdsmen militia have been profiled and indexed as the 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world by global security experts. Therefore we call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to designate them as such and treat them with the same military attention as accorded Boko Haram in the North Eastern part of the country.
In the event of failure to cub their menace it will be assumed that the Federal Government and its security organs and playing a supervisory role in the systematic and deliberate annihilation of Benue people, hence, the international community must feel compelled to place sanctions on Nigeria on grounds of crimes against humanity and Abuse of Human rights.
We, by this statement, call for the immediate arrest and prosecution of all individuals credited with treasonable statements, these include Mr. Garus Gololo, Mr. Chiroma and Engr. Saleh Alhassan and to deploy security to Benue borders and communities to forestall the execution of such threats to resist the law and cause mayhem.
We, by this statement, dismiss all claims of ownership of our lands by the Fulani people as false, baseless and mischievous. The Fulani who have always claimed to be nomadic when challenged, have not provided sufficient evidences either by conquest or long stay to lay claims on a land that historically belongs to Benue tribes long before the jihads of the 19th century saw the Fulani into Middle Belt territories.
While it is now clear through their express admission that all along their invasion was not just about grass for hungry cows but an outright occupation campaign targeted at Benue lands and natural resources, we make bold to assert that religious jihad could also be at the centre of it. This might explain why high profile Islamic leaders have always given excuses for their actions instead of condemning glaring crimes against humanity.
MAFO, by this statement, moves for the review of the recent list of commissions announced by the Federal Government to include a Central Nigeria Development Commission to cater for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of communities destroyed by Fulani herdsmen. This we demand in the interest of fairness as major contributors to the socio economic and political development of the Nigerian State.
In conclusion, MAFO wishes to express her appreciation to the Executive Governor of Benue State and the leadership of the State Assembly for responding to cries of the Benue people and passing the Anti-Open Grazing Bill into law and hereby calls for speedy implementation of such as the legal means of ending the cycle of killings in the State.

Ok, this meyitti alah dey feel like gods oooo.

Kyase:

Ortom is working

OZAOEKPE:

Don't mind Fulani. It beats my imagination the president said those attacking farmers were foreigners, now his Fulani brothers have claimed responsibility and he has kept mute all this while. What sort of a leader is this one? Because you are the president your brothers can kill anybody at will right?

You hv hit a very good point up there. The FG hs consistently denied that those behind the killings ar Nigerians. Now, we know better. By now, Ortom should be regretting his ill advised decision to appoint the fool called Gololo or Gilolo, into BNSG as Adviser on Fulani Affairs. Whoever advised him to take this decision is daft.

Once benue voted APC and Buhari
They sold their land to the Fulani marauders

Its An Ethnic And Religious Conquest.

Orton Train Those People Covertly In Arms Handling As Vigilante To Protect Themselves, D Fed Gov Led Police and NA Are Accomplices Whether They Agree Or Not.
