South West Nigeria In Panic As Fulani Mercenaries Take Position In Town Suburbs And Bushes
Some Fulani Herdsmen from Niger, arrested after their bloody operations
Residents of South Western Nigeria are calling for International communities to come to their aid as President Buhari backed Fulani incursions into the region create more panic for millions.
The appeal is coming as rumours of Fulani annexation of many parts of South Nigeria have been alleged with observers concluding that strategic positioning of war mercenaries has been noticed and Fulani mercenaries from Chad, Niger and Mali keep flooding the Southern part of the country.
More worrisome is the kid gloves with which the government of General Muhammadu Buhari and his government have been treating the cries and all fears expressed by South Nigeria and the Middle Belt.
Since the inception of Buhari’s regime in 2015, a long-dreamed Finalisation of the Southern and Middle Belt parts of Nigeria agenda, which had been hidden but being pushed forward underground came into light. An era of community repression was ushered in and herdsmen armed with AK-47 guns supposedly backed by the Nigeria’s military forces were penetrating into communities in the Middle-belt and Southern part of the country.
The AK-47 gun-toting herdsmen, backed by the nation’s military forces were taking control of all the communities in a self-styled land-grabbing scheme, killing farmers, children and raping women, mostly housewives in many predated communities.
The Finalisation effort however had been perfected through the unwarranted influx of Fulani tribes imported from Niger, Chad, Sudan and Mali in a systematic aimed at outnumbering the communities in the future election, planning land seizures through ethnic cleansing and mass blood spilling to cajole and subjugate those communities.
Nigerians security apparatus, rather than halting the menace from the Fulani sophisticated cattle herdsmen holding the guns killings have abetted their actions, patting them on the back and encouraging the mass killings through backdoor ammunition supply to the herdsmen.
In some other cases, the herdsmen are armed with assorted charms, hard drugs, cutlasses and bow and arrows which are being used with the aid of the security men, including the Nigeria Police force.
Sources have hinted that in most cases, the soldiers and the nation’s Police force have been complicit to the mayhem with no records of those killers being brought to books or handled with the long hand of the law. The attackers are being branded “untouchables”.
For more than five years, Fulani herdsmen have wreaked havoc mainly on the people of Middle-Belt and Southern parts of the country. Attacks in many villages visited ended in several villager butchered to death and left in orgies of bloodbath and mutilated bodies
For several years and as had been reported from the four corners of Nigeria, the assailants rampaging the communities are not Nigerians and are imported as itinerary herdsmen either from Niger, Mali or Sudan and with different French-styled Fulani accents. They are released free to flow to Nigeria and do not possess any immigration document or valid international passports and entry permits which may allow them the legal permission to remain in Nigeria. They live above the law and are aided by the nation’s security forces.
Apart from their maiming and butchering of the people, the strangers use their cows to destroy South farmlands denying farmers of their harvest season and subjecting their predators into future famine and food denial as they used the crops or farm products of the predating community to feed their animals, leaving their victims in denial.
Our source, recounting his experience claimed that the attack in the communities are in preparation and sizing up for future run-over, as the South of the country have expressed fears that a major overrun of the whole South of the country could be imminent which may culminate in a carnage that may surpass Rwanda and Burundi, if allowed to happen.
“We are in a serious situation as the herdsmen are given the license to kill, aided by the security forces who supply them the logistics of operation”.
More worrisome is the kid gloves with which the government of General Muhammadu Buhari and his government have been treating the cries and all fears expressed by South Nigeria and the Middle Belt.
