From Emmanuel Adeyemi, Lokoja.

No fewer than 10 famers were killed on Friday as Fulani herdsmen invaded two local government councils in Kogi State after allegedly setting their farmlands on fire.

The incident took place in Omala and Yagba West local government councils.

According to an eyewitness account Saturday, some Fulani herdsmen invaded Ogabifo Village near Agbenema Community and Agbabifo in Omala Local Government Area and killed the younger brother of the community chief, Paul Awodi after ransacking the community and setting some houses on fire.

It was gathered that the herdsmen that earlier invaded the farmland with their cattle were infuriated over the audacity of the farmers that challenged them on why they destroyed their crops

It was further gathered that after invading the village, the Fulani herdsmen went back to the farm and destroyed their crops and escaped unchallenged.

A source said the five herdsmen were fully armed with AK 47 and other weapons.

Following this, residents in the community fled the place in fear of another attack as the herdsmen were said to have been emboldened as a result of Governor Yahaya Bello’s order that Kogi residents must accommodate the herdsmen.

In a similar incident, Fulani herdsmen also invaded another farmland in Yagba West Local Government Council of the state.

An eyewitness account disclosed that the herdsmen with over 30 cattle invaded a rice farm owned by a woman in Omi, destroyed the rice farm and chased farmers away

A farmer, who did not want his identity revealed disclosed that the attacker herdsmen were fully armed when they arrived the farmland.

He added that other farmers were in their farm working when they heard gun shots when the herdsmen invaded the farms.

 

He therefore appealed to the state government to take a proactive step by calling the herdsmen to order.

The Kogi State governor, Bello last week had said that he will not introduce any anti grazing law to curtail herdsmen in the state.

According to the governor during a stakeholders’ meeting between the state government, the Miyyeti Allah Cattle Rearers Association and the Farmers Association in Kogi State, Bello said rather, he threw the gate of the state open to any Fulani herdsman who work without breaching the eace even.those that cant cope in bearby states that have curtailing laws.

    The Raghead Caliph of Sokoto,Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar and his Fulani kinsman,El Rufia,the
    Governor of Kaduna,claim that the Fulani Herdsmen and Militias,who are rampaging all over the country are
    aleins not Nigerians.
    But that is a blatant and a specious misplacement of facts, because all Fulanis in Nigeria are sojourners after all.
    However,while Alhaji Tanko Yakassai claims that the Fulani Herdsmen and Militias are merely reacting to an
    obstruction to their right to free movement as guaranteed by an ECOWA Accord,the spokesman of President
    Muhammadu Buhari ,Mallam Shehu Sani simply calls them críminals.
    Of course, the so called ECOWA Accord,guarantees the free movement of the people of ECOWA Regions but not their fucking animals.
    If President Buhari ,who is a patron of MACBAN (Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association) that employs the
    Fulani Herdsmen and Militias,does share the opinion of his spokesman,he has however,so far remained taciturn and noncommittal about that.
    But the question arises on why isn’t the Federal Government doing something about the barbaric and heinous
    acts of savagery visited upon our sedentary native Ngerian famers by President Buhari’s Fulani cattle rearing nomadic folks? And why is the Army and the Police always at hand to aid the barbaric and belllicose nomadic
    Fulani savages,whenever they are confronted by native Nigerians like in Awgu ,Enugu State and also in Ile Ife?
    The basic fact of the matter here, is that the activities of the Fulani Herdsmen and Militias are all a part of a Grand Plan of the Troglodytes,so called Bororos, Fulas,Falatas, Fulanis or Fulbes,to establish their Sub-Saharan Islamic Fulani Empire.
    Come to think about that,the Fulanis of Chad overthrew a Democratic Government of their founding Father,the late Monsieur Francois Tombalbaye,routed and sent the late Great N’ Garta’s Indigenous Bantu Christian folks of Chad,packing to Camerooon and Central African Republic.
    That was indeed a genocide through pogrom and ethnic cleansings.
    Few native Bantu Christians still remaining in Chad are virtually marginalized and relegated to the status of a second class citizenry like us,Ndigbo,whose status is that of a third class at best.
    The current Strong man of Chad and his predecessors had made it a sine qua non for the Indigenous Bantu
    Christians, who are still in Chad that for their full first class Citizenry,they must first convert into Islam.
    In Cote d’Ivoire,the Burkinabe (Burkina Faso born),Alassane Ado Dramane Outtara with the help of Fulani
    Soldiers of Fortune from Burkina Faso,Chad, Gambia,Mali,Niger and Senegal, aided by Arch-Imperialist France usurped power unto himself and his Fulani folks from our Indigenous Qua (Kwa) cousins of Cote d’Ivoire.
    Currently like here in Nigeria,the Fulani sojourners of our Qua (Kwa) Land of Cote d’Ivoire have taken absolute control of every institution in that country.Like in Nigerian Mallam Alassane Outtara and his Fulbe Cohorts have
    changed the Constitutions of Cote d’Ivoire and have their own brand of Constitution imposed upon the Indigenous Qua (Kwa) Majority of Cote d’Ivoire.
    In Central African Republic, armed and aided by their Chad and Sudanese Fulani cousins,an attempt by the minority Fulani muslim sojourners of that country,who make up barely 15% of the population of the country, to usurp power unto themselves misfired.Now, the Jihadists got themselves into a very serious trouble.
    The Indigenous Bantu Christian Majority of Central African Republic routed the Fulanis and sent them
    packing across the borders to Chad and Sudan.Serves them right indeed.
    Through decades of long creeping Islamization in West African countries like Burkin Faso, Gambia, Guinea, Mali,Niger and Senegal,Indigenous Quas (Kwas) have completely been assimilated and Islamized by their Fulani sojourns.
    The Troglodytes,so called Bororos, Fulanis or Fulbes are of Nilotec origin not natives of West Africa.
    Indigenous Nigeria of all tribes, creeds and political affiliations must speak up and help to do something in order to put an end to the current incipient genocide and ethnic cleansings that have been going on for over a decade
    in the North, and now spreading all over the country.
    The Leadership of the Caliphate/Sultanate of Sokoto must be held responsible for the ongoing incipient genocide,progroms and ethnic cleansings in the country.They must be called to order before it is too late.
    They ,the Fulanis have indeed been waging wars and intimidating us Indigenous Nigerians for too long that
    we can no longer afford to continue to be turning our other cheeks indefinitely.
    Enough is enough jare!
    No to the status quo ante bellum!
    Down with Hausa/Fulani Islamic Hegemoney!!
    All Hail Biafra,the Land of the Rising Sun!!!
