70-year-old farmer and vigilante from Itasa, Iwajowa Local Government Area of Oyo State, Amodu Bakare, lost his hands following an unprovoked attack by suspected Fulani bandits, who descended on him with axe and matchete. From his hospital bed, Bakare tells OLUFEMI OLANIYI about his close shave with death

How old are you and what do you do for a living?
My name is Amodu Bakare. I am 70 years old and I work as a vigilante with the Vigilante Group of Nigeria. I am also a farmer, I grow crops on subsistence level.

When were you attacked?
It happened on March 13. I came home on the Friday preceding that and I was going back to where I was working when I was attacked.

Who attacked you and how did it happen?
I was riding on a motorcycle on my way back to where I work as a vigilante when I saw two Fulani men at Oyan river. They parked their motorcycle there and I just moved on because they did not stop me or ask me for anything.

After passing the river, I saw that they started their motorcycle and started coming behind me. They were speeding and I saw that the speed was high so I gave way for them to pass but instead of overtaking me, they slowed down and started attacking me with an axe and cutlass. I hung my locally-made gun on my shoulder. Before I could jump off the motorcycle one of my hand had already been chopped off. I saw it on the ground. It was like a dream.

The two of them continue to cut me with their cutlass and axe when they saw that I wanted to remove the gun with the other hand. They removed the gun from me and fled. The other hand was almost cut off; just a piece of flesh was suspending if from also falling off. I screamed but there was no help and nobody was coming.

Do you think their aim of attacking you was to snatch your gun?
Yes, that is what it means. The moment they snatched the gun from me, they fled.

Was there a crisis between people in your community and Fulani people before that time?
There was nothing like that. I never had any altercation with any of them.

How were you rescued?
I started trekking towards the nearest village and hoping to come across anybody that could help me. I became weak at a point and slept off by the roadside. I later woke up and started going until I got to a village. I went there and begged them to save my life. I told them that armed robbers attacked me on the road. Those villagers went and reported to the vigilante people in the town and those ones came and met me where I was lying down helplessly and took me to Gbedu ( Ibudo Musa). From there there, they used a vehicle to bring me to the clinic at Iwere Ile.


How long did you trek before you got to the nearest village?
I trekked about three kilometres before I got to the village but this hospital should be about 25 kilometres from the point where I was attacked,

Where is the part of your hand that was cut off at the scene of the attack?
My people later went back to the place and combed everywhere but they did not find it.

How do you eat or take your bath now with your hands gone?
They have rendered me useless. I cannot do anything for myself again. Somebody has to put food in my mouth. I cannot do anything for myself and you can imagine that. I cannot remove my shorts except somebody helps me.
I am a farmer and a vigilante but which of the jobs can I do without hands? I need the government and Nigerians to help me. I was told that I will be able to do some things for myself if I can buy prostheses (artificial hands) but I can’t afford them.
I cannot do any work to raise money for that because I am spending a lot to treat myself. I need help. I never knew I would become handicapped at this stage of my life. I have been active and going about working and feeding myself but this happened suddenly. I’m still stunned and I am praying that I will wake up from this bad dream.

When are you going to be discharged from the hospital?
I have not been given any date yet. I have a wife and children and I cannot do anything. The situation in the country is harsh even for people who are working so how much more for for somebody who will have to depend on others to do everything?
I need the artificial hand so that I won’t be totally useless for the rest of my life.

Was the case reported to the police?
Yes. I was taken to the police station straight before I was brought to the hospital. I lost so much blood that day and it was God that made me to survive the attack. I have been given six pints of blood

With his hand, he voted Fulanis into office in 2015.

Now that Fulanis have cut off his hand, I wonder with which hand he will vote in Tinubu

TY Danjuma told us we must stop them or else we shall be killed one by one.

Next time the Fulani return they will chop of this elderly man's head and finish him so they can grab his land.

We know it is the Caliphate's 1999 Constitution they are using for this genocide.

They have distracted us by Elections 2023 which sole purpose is to renew the life of the caliphate's 1999 Constitution.

Who is the f00lish one?

Is it not the people of South and MB who are so f00lish we allow a fraudulent 1999 Constitution that we did not write to operate in our land and which enables these armed invaders to destroy our crops, steal our land, and kill us?

Punch is anti-yoruba.
How dare Punch publish this news when they know Tinubu relies on foolanis to be president?
Where are the cows?

this comment is sensitive take it down everything no be cruise

Are you sure ipob is not behind this.

This is real shit oo.
This people be animals oo�
It's a shame that the govt somehow indulge them.
That's why it's important a Northerner do not enter into power bcus they would start part 2 of this if that happens.

Na IPOB and ESN do am

He should call on Tinubu, that installed this Fulani man to come to his aid.These were the same people that were shouting sai baba up and down. I really feel sorry for this man and what will become of him in this already harsh country that this jihadist (Buhari) has gotten us into.

I am surprised,this unity begging op didn't blame IPOB/ESN on this !

Nigeria Rubbish journalism

Tufia

Just the title will show you the Intention of the newspaper

If they said a herder cut off the hands of a vigilantee, will the newspaper close?

Hmmm

Fake news. Propaganda to stop Tinubu from contesting the presidency

Where are the cows

Fulanis are the senior citizens and are specialist in the killing of other Nigerians who spend all their life and energy bad mouthing ipob and all Igbo people for wanting to opt out of a country where Fulani's kill at will in the most gruelsom manner.
Talking against ipob while getting your hand and head cut off is wisdom from the iron god.

Very sad all this criminal minded people should be totally be eradicated otherwise.

This thread won’t pass page 2 lol. Afonja and northerners lives are N1 each so no wahala if they are killed.

Only igbo lives matter in this zoo

Mumu but Igbos will vote another fulani in 2023 to continue chopping nyanmirins hands.

Here is so quiet..
Because IPOB-ESN is not involved?
See no Evil, talk no Evil..
That the mentality of my people from the South West..

too bad

cocolacec:

Which Fulani will Igbos be voting intonpower in 2023?

Igbos will be voting for GEJ or Amaechi in APC
.
Igbos may also vote for Obi or Anyim in PDP.

I personally would have voted for Tinupoo but we all know he won't make it

Where are the Yoruba Muslims, especially the die-hard followers of Ishaq Akintola? Amodu Bakare appears to be a Yoruba Muslim. Is this not to be a concern of MURIC, the so-called defender of Muslim rights? Can this be a true indication of suffering and smiling or it's only the issue of hijab that brings up muscles?
