Last weekend’s bloody attack by Fulani herdsmen
on Buruku Local Government Area of Benue State
has been blamed on Tiv youths.
This was revealed by the spokesman of Myetti
Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria
(MACBAN), Garus Gololo, who said the reason for
the Friday night attack on the Tiv people of
Agwabi village in Binev Council Ward in Buruku
Local Government Area of the state which led to
the death of many persons was due to the killing
of 800 cattle by Tiv youths.
However, the state police command confirmed
five people killed by suspected Fulani herdsmen
on Friday night who invaded the affected
community.
Gololo said information gathered from his kinsmen
in the troubled Buruku area alleged that trouble
started when youths from the affected village last
Thursday carried away 800 cows belonging to the
resident herders.
According to him, “the (herders) traced the
missing cows the following day to that village and
that was how trouble started.”
“This is highly regrettable because they should
have notified the security apparatus already put
in place by the state government who could have
handled the matter. They didn’t report the
matter even to us (MACBAN).
“It is painful that while the state government is
doing everything to resolve the crisis, some
others are taking the law into their hands. But,
those found wanting in this matter would surely
be handed over to the security agencies,” he
said.
In another development, a foremost socio-cultural
group in Taraba State, Jukun Development
Association (JDA), yesterday urged the state
Governor, Darius Ishaku, to immediately set up a
vigilance group to monitor and ensure security of
all farm settlements in the central and southern
parts of the state as a measure to curb the
herdsmen killings.
The group which rose from its emergency extra-
ordinary congress yesterday in Lagos, said such
steps became necessary in view of the federal
government’s inability to ensure the security of
lives and property of her people, especially
farmers against rampaging armed Fulani
herdsmen.

What the fulani says can be true because iam in
benue state too. And my side whenever fulani
herdsmen are passing people will take their cows
because sometimes the cows will just enter their
houses and they will take it, until a fulani man will
come and give them plenty of money before they
will release the cow

Tiv people like meat like anything so I may believe
the fulanis. Where is kyase sef! Sai Fulani!

They're not Fulani marauders, they're Libyan trained fighters from the Sahel region, according to the innate bigot called, BooHarry.

Soiling the great Gaddafi's name/memory in something that has absolutely nothing to do with him.

Esseite:
Even in the statement... the police still use "suspected fulani herdsmen" despite the fulani herdmen giving you reasons why they did it...

It really appauling really...

Its more of a thief given you the reasons why he stole but you are stunchly claiming he is not a thief..

They said let sleeping dogs lie

Lesson learnt

NEVER STEAL FROM FULANI
