So why are innocent herders carrying guns used in engaging the amotekun pipo

Innocent herdsmen

Those Bororo are kidnapper and abductors. They kidnap my friend in her farm at Lanlate, killed her innocent fiancé and took 5m as ransom to release her. Amotekun, kill them all.

/
Since the Fulani leaders know the innocent herders, they should point out the guilty herders. But since they won't, everyone of them is guilty until proven innocent. Where is Sarkin Fulani of Oyo when his people were tormenting innocent indigenes?

THE POLITICS OF REPORTING ÀMỌ̀TẸ́KÙ


Today, the South West Security Network codenamed Àmọ̀tẹ́kún is said to have gunned down a number of criminals terrorizing Ibarapa axis of Ọ̀yọ́ state in a gun duel that lasted several hours. The security personnel also sustained various injuries and it is likely some of them have paid the supreme price.

However, report of the activities of Àmọ̀tẹ́kún by national dailies recently left a lot of questions in the heart of discerning mind. Àmọ̀tẹ́kún were reported by some dailies to have killed Fulani herdsmen and not criminals. This is how the fourth estate of the realm help fan embers of war and discord.

The fact remains that Àmọ̀tẹ́kún was created to fight criminals and not because of a particular ethnic group as newspapers have been painting it. The UI student alleged to have been shot by Àmọ̀tẹ́kún is not a Fulani. Thugs recently fought by the security outfit in Ibadan were not Fulani but Yoruba.

Saying Àmọ̀tẹ́kún killed some bandits in Ibarapa today should have been the best way to report the incident and not that they killed some ethnic groups. I can still remember how Yoruba people were spraying money on a Fulani/Bororo boy singing Fuji music around World Oil Petrol Station around Iwo Road in Ibadan few years back. That is who we are; we are accommodating to any tribe that is not criminally minded.

Let those who want to paint Àmọ̀tẹ́kún bad remember that even though their agenda was to kill Àmọ̀tẹ́kún and foster spirit of the Nigeria nationhood, what they are saying could also fan ethnic clash and genocide. Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn is not against Nigeria unity, it was created to secure southwest from rising crime of banditry, farm destruction, rape of rural women, kidnapping, armed robbery and proliferation of arms.

Crime is crime irrespective of who committed it and the security operative is charged with fighting crime, not Fulani herdsmen.

If an ethnic group is known for a particular crime, fighting criminals among them is not fighting the ethnic group. Let us be careful of how we report issues like this.

Fulani village in Oyo?

Kill more Fulani. Seven is too small

SpecialAdviser:
Except in a shoot out scenario, Amotekun should be arresting criminals and taking them to court rather than shooting at sight.


Government should probe the whole episode.

How many times have government probed the many killing done by Fulani?
They are criminals and that is final.

vincent10:
Sensational report.

How can Bororo people have a village in Oyo state. Are they indigenous people?

I tire o,most bororo are something else, they're even more brutal than Boko Haram.I don't have issue with any tribe but they should stop occupy people's land by force.

I support them, Yoruba Land is not futa jalon kill them all.

Oyo APC won't mind to stab Seyi in the back to grab power.

Yorubas better unite beyond political barriers this time to avoid becoming perpetual victims.

I remember how kidnapping and killing gripped the Southwest in 2019. I hope we won't go back to that.

Yorùbá, ronú!

Did you think Sowore has sense? His mission and that of his news outlet is to cause confusion always and burn Nigeria aground.

What a silly headline!

I like Sowore and I always try as much as possible not to criticize him but he’s really losing it. What does he stand to gain if the country is engulfed in ethnic violence? I’m now suspecting that he’s been sponsored by some external forces.

Why is it that Fulani terrorists tribe are moving around causing problems everywhere.

God bless you abundantly for this sir

Inter tribal war coming soon.

Killings and hate attacks like this are bound to happen n will alwsys become a recuring decimal when u allow ethnic militias carry arms and parade themselves as security men. This is just d begininning. They are also gonna shoot n kill even yorubas who dress or look like hausa fulani as time goes on.

The Main Agenda Of Forming This Ethnic Security Outfit By The Yorubas Is Gradually Coming Out,for Christ Sake how Can You Storm Innocent Fulani Village And Open Fire On Them? To Think That These People Have Lived There For More than 50yrs,the Main Crimimals And Abductors Are There In The Thick Forest Running Their Show,why Going After The Innocent Ones Doing Their Legitimate Business In Their Village? When The Fulanis Come For Reprisal I Hope Nobody Will Shout Ethnic Cleansing..Fulanis Neither Forget Nor Forgive!! Amotekun Should Thread With Caution.

Wiseandtrue:
Fulani herdsmen and innocence shouldn't be in the same sentence

Since the report of their destruction, killing e.t.c how many of them have condemned it

The FG have refused to tag them terrorists, FG is only going after those fighting back

People are no longer comfortable with them

Nobody will watch helplessly while you continue to them

No one!!!

It is easy to shoot innocent people but no one likes to be shot back at.
Fulani have been doing the shooting all this while, now amotekun is here to shoot back.

"Fulani village" in Yoruba land?


Do you have anything like Igbo or
Yoruba village in the north?


They form this villages in other peoples
land & will then be inviting criminal
Fulani elements from the north, showing
them road & who to attack & hide them.


Fulani people have shown themselves
as treacherous people; accommodate
them in your land at your risk.

Hmnnn, it is deja Vu once again, so they now have bororo villages in the SW? This was how they started in the middle belt until they claimed indigenous to those places.

Yorubas ronu o, they're expanding beyond Illorin already

it's well oO.....but one thing is certain,the Fulani never forgives, they will re-enforce and attack that village when the time is due, be it days, months or years.....

Have you heard amotekun's own side of the story? Don't form an opinion without hearing both sides

Shut up!
You should think before you type

When they saw amotekun, they sensed danger!!

How can you sense danger seeing a security personel without doing evil or committing any crime?
It's just like seeing a policeman, army or airforce and taking to your heels without committing any offense..
One day, buhari go leave that seat and we can have a peaceful coexistence

Who dash Fulani village for Oyo state......? Make them pursue....i know trust them around my environs.........


The news sef get as it be

When Foolanis herdsmen are killed they are innocent when these animals slaughter others it is their right

How many Fulani herdsmen have been arrested for all the slaughtering??

A beg waste them all, nonsense

The thing dey very annoying.....they should mess them up and pursue em away from South West...

MASTAkiLLAh:
Amotekun kills seven fulani terrorists but its the ESN thats the problem and thats where FG sent thw military to comb forests. That shows that the FG is scared of offending the SW unlike the disunited SE... My opinion though

Amotekun killed seven fulani terrorists...
Dazzall

More like the FG consider ESN a more potent threat than Amotekun.

Oga be calming down, how many innocent deaths have been condemned by the Miyetti Allah?? Power won't last in the North forever, maybe by then it may be too late because virtually every region might have labelled them a terrorists, as it stands now, they are already an endangered species....

Jesus.... Fulani village in Oyo. Are these people mad?.
