Fulani Jihadists Threaten Attacks In Asaba, Gov Okowa Over Open Grazing Ban by thewitnessblog: 3:10pm On Jun 14, 2021
Residents of Asaba, Delta State capital were
overwhelmed by perplexity on Sunday after
discovering a threat letter, allegedly giving
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa 72-hour ultimatum to
withdraw his support for the ban on open grazing
or risk the state capital being attacked.
The letter dated 13th June, 2021 and titled
“Fulani Jihadist Warning: An Open Message of 2
Paragraphs To Delta State” was said to have
been pasted in strategic locations in the state
capital including the fence of the Living Faith
Church aka Winners Chapel at Infant Jesus Road
in Asaba.
Our Reporter in Asaba said even though the
threat letter is concise of what the so called
jihadists intended to do, the residents are not
taking things for granted, adding that some of
them are planning a counter defence mechanism
“since the security forces have glaring shown
bias in defending non Fulanis”
According to him, governors of the 17 southern
states had at its meeting in Asaba recently
banned open grazing of cattle in the region, even
as the ban was rejected by the Federal
Government and the Attorney-General of the
Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami,.

Determination Are The Problems Of
Nigeria’
AGF claimed that the decision of the governors
violates the rights of herdsmen to free
movement.
In the same vein, President Muhammadu Buhari
also rejected the position of the governors and
ordered for the restoration of the grazing routes
across the country in an interview last Friday.
Our Reporter described the letter as unsigned
and revealed that it threatened that Fulani Jihadist
fighters will attack Asaba and Governor Okowa’s
Agbor Town if he fails to withdraw his support
for the ban on open grazing in the state.
“This is to inform Delta state that the Fulani’s of
Usman dan fodio leadership, shall do everything
it can to uphold the legacy of our heritage of
open grazing for we are nomadic people from
origination and shall never negotiate the
ownership of Nigeria and West Africa and Sub-
Sahara.
“We hereby demand the governor of Delta state
to immediately withdraw is early stand for the
call to barn open grazing in 17 regions in not
less than 72hours from the above date and also,
withdraw his position as the leading voice for the
governors, as no occurrence we don’t have the
first-hand information, even before the hosting of
the South-south. South-east and South-south
governors meeting in Asaba.

“Failure to adhere to this demand for been the
host of the 17 governors, Delta state, most likely
the city of Asaba and Agbor, shall encounter
severe consequences than that of Bornu, Kebbi,
Kastina, Kaduna, Enugu, Benue, Oyo and many
more that will not respect the Fulani’s heritage,
as we take responsibility for the detonate
explosive uncovered in the state capital
secretariat, which should serve as warning to the
Delta state government for what is to come,
should the governor fail to abide to our demand.
“We highly advice all Fulani’s and Northerners,
including the security personnel to live Delta
state as soon as possible for the wind of our
action is now present in the land, for failure of
the governor to adhere to our call, this shall live
us with no choice.”

Acting Police Public Relations Officer of the Delta
State Police Command, Bright Edafe, a Deputy
Superintendent of Police confirmed to have seen
the letter, but added that the police are putting
measures in place to avert any possible
breakdown of law and order in the state capital
or any part of the state.
His word, “the author of the letter failed to
signed and unmasked his or her identity. As far
as I am concern, it may be political. The painful
part of it is that, they may have used indigenes
to paste the purported letter across the state
capital”.
