Militia Attack Takum In Taraba, Many Dead by fergie001(op): 6:37pm On Sep 01, 2019
Many people were killed on Sunday as suspected armed militia attacked Jukun community in Takum town of Taraba state.

Daily Trust gathered that the militia, in their large numbers, invaded parts of Takum and shot many people.

It was gathered that the militia were suspected to have crossed into the Jukun community from Benue state.

A source in Takum, Mr Yakubu John, said the armed militia came with sophisticated weapons and attacked the community.

He said more than 12 persons were killed adding however that the attackers were repelled just as many of them were killed.

Police spokesman in the state, DSP David Misal, confirmed the attack.

He said the attackers were repelled by combined team of soldiers and police, adding that the police are compiling casualty figures which will be released later.

He said the situation is under control as Takum town is now calm.

The sleepy national assembly must urgently enact an act that permits Nigerians above the ages of 21 the own a gun.

This can put a stop to all these madness

Everyday people are being killed,

I said it before that if Buhari react the way Trump reacted to the killing of 5 people in the US, Buhari timeline would be news of death, death and death.


In the US, people don't kill others and go free but in Nigeria, the government protect the killers

This is so crazy. What is the need for this senseless killing.
Re: Militia Attack Takum In Taraba, Many Dead by Seylad2009(m):
@ op, this news is not the true representation of what truly happened today as I am here live.

Yes,there was an attack by the TIV militias however, the causalities is not more than 8, two people were killed by the TIV but the jukum(takum indigene), apprehended and killed more than five TIV, like a cow, cutting human body piece by piece until he died, using it to do suya. The scene was scary.

THERE'S NO POLICE NOR ARMY INTERVENTION UNTIL AFTER THE INDEGENE HAD REPELLED THE ATTACK AND THE MILITIAS RETREAT.

I REPEAT, NO COMBINE TEAM OF POLICE AND ARMY REPELLED THE ATTACK ALTHOUGH THE POLICE WERE SHOOTING AT A FAR DISTANCE.

Even as I'm typing, most people has run away from their houses, it's really crazy here.

Please, remember us in your prayers.

Whenever the story says "suspected Fulani herdsmen", they make comments like;

"Buhari is sending his brothers to kill and maim"

"Buhari is sending his brothers to carry out jihad to Islamize and Fulanize Nigeria"



But when the story says "Armed millitia", they make comments like;

"Buhari has no capacity to lead"

"Buhari cannot guarantee the security of Nigerians"




Wailers stink.

They should send those over efficient and swift police officers who were quick to cordon off Bobrisky's birthday party venue to Taraba fast..they will savage the situation. Trust me

These Tivi people are beyond redemption.

I am 100% sure this Tivi Militia is being sponsored by fulanis to avenge the Jukums for kicking their ass in Taraba.

The Fulani has always been using Tivi heads like spanners just like the Ebiras.

This is latest Tiv-Jukum war is spearheaded by fulanis to weaken both tribes before going in for a kill. This is how the Fulanis pitched Yoruba Muslims against their own people.

Tivi will never ever have sense.

How do u know militia are TIV's.
But if ur suspension is true then I think we have a problem in the middle belt cos both Tiv and Jukum gat common enemy

Beface:
When it comes to fighting Fulani the TIV's go dey play victims but when there see other tribes there go dey form champion. These two communities could have use these energy to fight Fulani as dey get common enemy.

Why do you hate Fulani ?. Do you know that Fulani are in more than 6 countries in Africa ?. Do you know that The American Cowboy's have ruled the most of USA ?. Do you know that Cowboys means Herdsmen ?. Do you know that herding animals is the oldest job in the word ?.
