Northern Traders Debunk Otti's Claim by jude79(m): 8:12am On Nov 03, 2023 |
GIST‘It Is Unfair’ – Northern Traders Debunk Alex Otti’s Claim Of Decomposing Corpses Uncovered In AbiaPublished on 2 November 2023 at 12:29 PMBy Rachel Okporu Fadoju Kindly share this story: Northern community The Northern Community in Umuchieze Cattle Market in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State has rejected the claims of Governor Alex Otti, about the discovery of decomposing corpses in the State. Naija News reports that Otti while addressing the media earlier in the week, said a large number of decomposed and headless bodies, as well as skeletons, were discovered in the market located at Lokpanta in Umuchieze. Expressing concern over the state of insecurity at the Umuennochi/Isuikweato axis, the Governor said the market had become a den of criminals and kidnappers, noting that most ransoms for kidnapping were dropped around the market. He insisted that the government was going ahead with its plan to make the market non-residential, ordering the traders to live with the natives in the neighbouring communities. Reacting to the order, the spokesperson for the Northern community, Buba Abdullahi, expressed dissatisfaction with the Governor’s claim about the market being littered with decomposed corpses. Abdullahi put their population at 15,000, saying they occupied about 80 hectares of the land donated to them by the Orji Kalu-led government. He said the allegation from Alex Otti is a plot to chase them away from the State, stressing it is unfair to prevent any Nigerian from staying in any part of the country. Abdullahi appealed to the government to allow the traders to reside inside the market, considering the high crime rate in Umuchieze communities. He also expressed their readiness to collaborate with the state government toward finding a lasting solution to the security challenges in the area. He said, “If the government would fence the market, demolish our houses and ask us to go and live in the neighbouring villages, it means it has automatically chased us away from Abia. “We northerners are peace-loving and very accommodating. This is the reason there are many Southerners in the North doing their business without harassment and threats of eviction. “It is unjust, unfair and ungodly for anyone to prevent any Nigerian from staying in any part they so desire in Nigeria. “There is a general misconception that the northern community is harbouring criminals, but all the brothels, rooms, beer parlours, night clubs and lodging accommodation recently demolished belong to the natives. “Tactical mistake for us to relocate to communities in Umuchieze, considering the prevailing high rate of crime in the area”. |

We do know that the Fulani Herdsmen and bandits did much damage But Gov Alex Otti was engaging in a very Shocking and disgraceful ethnic hate Propaganda and Profiling Accusing innocent people of what they never did is an Abomination that always backfires Those responsible for the murders have already confessed and owned up 1 Like 1 Share

triple996: Neither the governor nor the people of abia state ever claimed that the northern community are not peace loving, but the fact that no kidnapping had happened in an area with weekly kidnapping occurrences, since the governor eliminated living quarters from that market, some weeks back, speaks volumes, thus any legal action a governor took that succeeded in safeguarding the citizens he swore to protect is justified. 9 Likes |

They didn't even deny the 80 dead bodies that was found in their community I hope the abia state govt have video evidence to back up their claim? If the fulani/hausa community can't accept gov. otti terms and conditions to live in that area they're very free to leave abia state after all igbos living in the north don't dictate to their northern host. 6 Likes |

Dreal1247: Of course it's simply because during the years those atrocities were going on buhari a fellow fulani man like them was giving them full cover to operate freely all the security agencies in abia and the entire south east was headed by fulani northerners and few yorubas so who do you run to deal with the criminals? 1 Like |

Bandits and herdsmen, you people will no longer be allowed to reside in the market, which you use as cover for your criminal activities. Go and rent a house outside the market like every other citizen. |

Christistruth00: What favour? So he should allow criminals and kidnappers hide in a so called Fulani cattle market to continue to kidnap and kill our people? You feel no concern for the victims whose bodies were found within the market and their relatives.The North should return the favour if Igbo traders turn rogues and start killing and kidnapping their host. You are opposite of the meaning of your handle.Your handle should be 'devilmyfather' because you are blind to truth. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Christistruth00: Have you been to trade fair complex Lagos? Can you compare Igbos investment at the trade fair to those of the northerners at Lokpanta? Trade fair is well organised with solid buildings. Lokpanta generates billions to the Hausa/Fulani but they’ve failed to invest and build decent buildings there. The place is full of shanks, horrible sanitation and litters everywhere. They harbour criminals inside that market. They live there as well. Igbos don’t sleep in the markets. They build their houses or pay rents to their hosts. Hausa/fulanis don’t live to pay rent or live in decent accommodation with other ethnicities. 1 Like |
