Guma and Logo Local Government Areas would still have remained fertile soils and hardworking people that feed the nation, but for the bold terror that was unleashed on them by the Fulani herdsmen at the first dawn of 2018. Terror does not gain boldness overnight; it blossoms from the little drops of silence watered down its nursery beds in time of germination. The Fulani herdsmen are no different. Some years back, the full scale terror was in Agatu.
Like Guma and Logo, Agatu was a river of blood and wailings once. More than three hundred people were butchered- lawful men, armless women and innocent children- as retribution for the death of Fulani cattle. A killing that Angele Dinkongue Atangana, of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, had described as the worst she had witnessed in her twenty years of working as a humanitarian. Terribly enough, while Agatu was collapsing under the weight of the Fulani herdsmen, the Shia sect massacre by the agents of the state was still fresh, Enugu and Taraba states were also under the siege of the herdsmen, and we had an Inspector General of Police who was busy trying to downplay the deaths in Agatu. These reminders are necessary to enable us see the pattern of impunity in play here....http://valourdigest.com/fulani-herdsmen-president-buharis-silence-mene-tekel-upharsin/
