Pictures have emerged showing a Fulani family which were allegedly killed some weeks ago by Berom tribe in Plateau state. There have been accusations and counter accusations following the ethnic-religious crisis which saw over 100 people killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Plateau.

While some say the attack was a reprisal attack due to the attacks on Fulani indigenes and their cattle in the area, others are arguing that Fulani herdsmen raided the just to kill the villagers and steal their goods.

Yakubu Yakx shared an interesting report on the Plateau killings as he blamed the security operatives for doing nothing to prevent these attacks.

Just when we thought everything is over, the enemies of peace and Nigeria are at it again. But to set the records straight, let me breakdown some details of how things unfold that led to the recent breakdown of Law and Order in Barkin Ladi LGA and environs. These unfortunate incidents led to a full blown tribal/religious crisis in Plateau North Senatorial District. In the past decade a lot of crisis erupted in Plateau State, people have moved on in some of the areas, but why are we still having crisis that is leading to loss of lives and property in Berom Land? Governor Lalong should deal with these issues decisively, some people are out there to cause trouble just to discredit the Government at State and Federal level.

If you think I am joking drive a pickup van with cows in the trunk and pass via Kassa, Heipang, Mararraban Foron, Marraban Jama’a, Anguldi or alternatively through Nafang, Fan, Bisichi, Foron and Du villages and see whether you will come out alive, the hatred is too much and incomprehensible.

Some people stay on the highways and give their allies details of vehicles conveying Fulani Men or anybody that looks like them taking their cows to the popular Kara (COW Market) in Bukuru (Jos South LGA), once they pass through any of the two routes coming from Mangu, Pankshin, Bokkos and other LGAs through berom they block them, lynch them and rustle their COWS.

The below unfortunate events took place all within the month of June 2018.

1. On the 8th of June Four young Fulani men coming back from Kara Cattle market in Bukuru were shot immediately after Kassa Hill Military check point, less than 2Km from the check point.

2. Over 300 COWS were rustled between Fan, Dorowa and Jong Villages of Barkin Ladi LGA and Kadunu/Langai villages of Mangu LGA, when Military were sent to rescue and recover the COWS they received strong resistance from the armed Berom COW rustlers with even reports of some security men losing their lives. Up to date they’ve not been recovered.

3. On 12th of June at around 8pm some Fulani people of Quanpan LGA of plateau State coming back from Bukuru Kara market were shot at Kassa hill before Barikin Ladi LGA secretariat unfortunately one of them lost his life.

4. On June 13th a minor Jaafar Salihu herding his parents COWs, was killed at Nding Village also around Kassa hill and they removed his head till date the head wasn't recovered, he was buried like that

5. Then the last aggression took place on Jun 21st at about 6pm Some Fulani men Bala, Lawal and Ibrahim Kuwait on their way coming back from Kara market in Bukuru were shot, killed and their vehicle was set ablaze at Heipang village to be precise inside the railway round about, pictures attached.

6. A day after Sallah Jun 16th 2018 at about 14:00 hours some Hausa Boys of Barikin Ladi town driving a Vectra Opel vehicle with reg number JJN 54 CF heading to Mangu LGA narrowly escaped death with minor and major injuries and the car wrecked, as Berom youths launched an attacked on them in front of the Military Check point, what’s their offence? Ans: They are Muslims and the berom youths want to avenge an attack on some villages made by Fulani herders.

7. On Saturday 23rd Jun 2018 the people of Mangu blocked the highway and said nobody is going to pass until justice is done to one of their men that was killed in a Berom community between Dorowa village and Mangu Hale, until his demise he was a butcher and he went to collect his money from one of his customers he gives meat, he was simply killed because he is Muslim, is he a herdsman?

I blame the Men and Officers of Operation Safe Heaven for their poor handling of the following issues that took place in Barikin Ladi and environs, had it been they acted promptly this avoidable incidents would’ve been averted. I call on the security to be up and doing, they should deploy modern techniques in managing attacks and counter attacks if not the carnage will probably continue until the realities on ground are rewritten to reflect the reality of modern war.

Instead of reflecting on why the current strategies are not working, FFK, CAN, TY Danjuma, Jerry Gana and their associates have an opportunity to pour out the anti-Islamic venom on an issue that is purely criminal. Facebook online commentators will follow along the same path. If they are not abusing the ‘clueless’, ‘certificateless’, ‘Boko haram sponsor’ etc. at the top they are attacking Islam for being a jihadist, blood-spilling religion.

So annoying, all this must end one day

Wetin concern me

and APC is busy doing Convention up and down..... Nigeria needs total overhauling

This is Nigeria.

anyway is a way Up super eagles

When this matter become a civil war, even the Fulanis forming commando attacking harmless villagers will cry to God for help.

Unlawlessness and injustice will always bring birth to blood bath.

Nigeria is sitting on a gun powder

God is good!!!!!

Evil

This killing have to stop

The evil Buhari brothers are clutching at every available straw to justify the ethnic and religious cleansing they are perpetrating in MB. From rustled 300 cows reprisal, to this fake news.

Let me also know if the rev father's and parishioners slaughtered in early morning mass at Benue few weeks ago rustled cows or killed Fulani to deserve d atrocious desecration of the Church.

God punish all of u starting from cow buhari, bastard osinbade to d least supporter of this evil govt.

Hmmm

When will this rubbish/senseless killings stop in Nigeria...

Fulani people are the most dangerous and wicked people in Nigeria today couple with the fact that govt do show any seriousness in tackling them

God Help Us

Dumb damage control.

I blame stf for the escalation of violence in Barkin ladin and environs, I think the whole unit/battalion should be disband and transferred back to wherever the came from. If they had handled the matter as professionals this wouldn't have happened, or might have been controlled to a certain extent. The Nigerian govt should better enforce the law of stopping this herdsmen from grazing on people's farmland. It's the beginning of our problems

kashman001:
This killing have to stop

How do we stop it?

I doubt this story. Fulanis can tell lies just to cover up for their useless crimes.

.

Lol.this ur signature sef won scatter my ribs

The Fulani have been killing since, did anybody retaliate?
So they have monopoly of violence?

I guess this is the Fulani side of d story written by either a Fulani or a govt official... Going by the precision deployed in quoting numbers, dates, names, places etc. But fairness demands u apply same precision in telling us how the plateau massacre happened and the number of casualties. The govt initially lied that only 11 people died, but when the Social Media came to our rescue with picture and video evidences, the govt raised the number to 86 and wants to quickly bury them in secret. But people on ground there strongly say the number killed ranged between 200 and 600. Now, if u deliberately avoided balancing ur story in view of my later points, WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOUR STORY in the first place?

Fulani indegene of BEROM? Or where?
No longer 300 cows again but humans. All in the name to justify the horrific killing.

And some people will be barking like dog as if they are Innocent

Op is trying to say Fulanis are peaceful people..

Who has been killing villagers and setting churches ablaze in Benue, Taraba and Plateau State?

Hmm must you pass berom land?

Can't you stay in Sokoto?

Nigeria is not safe.... I believe these people want to gain more territory.

Lies from the pits of hell..so you mean there are people that march 300 Fulani cattles away in Nigeria and dissapeear Just like that without the Fulani army and militia giving Chase....No cattle is missing anywhere jare
