Three soldiers who sustained gunshot wounds after an attack by nomadic herdsmen at Agogo in the Ashanti Region, have been transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) after their conditions became critical.

The soldiers and a police officer, all members of Operation Cow Leg, were shot by herdsmen on Monday, 8 January 2018, after they had responded to a distress call by a farmer whose crops were being destroyed by cattle belonging to the Fulani.

The unknown assailants laid ambush and shot at the security officers.

The victims were initially sent to the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital for first aid but had to be referred to KATH due to the nature of their wounds.

“We realised that one of them, who had a pellet down the throat, was becoming breathless because the upper airway was becoming obstructed and the other too had sustained shots at the base of the skull, which was causing bleeding. And the third also had a pellet by the vertebral column so we had to refer [them to KATH],” a nurse at the Agogo Hospital, Emmanuel Mensah, told Joy News on Tuesday, 9 January.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Police Command has said it will not be frightened by attacks on officers of Operation Cow Leg.

According to ASP Juliana Obeng, the Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer, the Police will continue to ensure law and order in the area as far as the activities of the Fulani herdsmen are concerned.

Since Buhari became President of Nigeria the Fulani have suddenly got more funds and moral to step up their expansionist drive ..This Herdsmen menace is really a threat to the collective existence of the sub region and must be tackled

So Buhari is funding Al Qaeda now ba? since they attacked Ghana too, who is funding those ones? if God gave me your kinda brain, i will commit suicide just to return it.

Scholes007:
For a long time I have suspected some foreign infiltration by terrorist organization. Laws should be put in place to check the activities of these herdsmen. The tendency that some terrorist organization must have infiltrated the noble profession should also be put into consideration.

But to be sincere, Mr President is not doing enough. This is what gives room to the accusations he is receiving. He seem too slow or more or less clueless about actions to take about this.

MistadeRegal:
They've entered Ghana too?
West Africa in shit unless we take responsibility of our safety.

BUHARI has always been sympathetic to Fulani terrorist and only God knows how much material and moral support he is now giving behind the scenes apart from the brazen law enforcement shield he provides in public .. for a man that once stood up to defend Boko Haram and was also nominated to negotiate on behalf of them anything is very possible

jpphilips:


You sincerely believe Buhari has the capacity to fund Al Qaeda undetected? do you have any idea how the real world works or just another school leaver playing with dad's phone? Do you know that in a Al Qaeda's captivity, Jonathan is safer in the hands
of Al Qaeda than Buhari?

FarahAideed:


Stop trying to paint Buharis herdsmen ad Alqaeda becuase they are not , I was referring to Fulani herdsmen under the auspices of Miyetti Allah and yes Buhari is clearly in support of all the wing they have been doing

jpphilips:


Ghana was worst hit than Nigeria, they weren't so dumb to blame the ethnicity of their president for it, that is the difference!!

jpphilips:


You are not intelligent enough to know what the post is about, why don't you try the celebrities section. when the time comes, Myetti Allah will realize they are not safe with these invaders regardless of sharing ethnicity with them, do you rem those Sheikhs
that were hailing Boko when they killed Christians? where are they today? all dead from BHT attacks, you have no idea how the world of terror works.

With consistent IS scores of genius and many innovation to my name yet you think I am not smart enough to see where you are going ..you are a known Buharist on this forum so I know where you are headed with this Alqeda narrative

Its IQ not IS, now go back to school.
