Fulani Herdsmen In Fresh Attack Kill 32 In Kogi, Burn Houses
Blood flowed freely in the early hours of Wednesday when some suspected Fulani herdsmen invaded Oganeinugu community in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State and killed no fewer than 32 people.
Two people were also reported dead in the adjoining town of Iyale, where the people of Oganeinugu ran to take refuge. Similarly, it was gathered that another group of Fulani herdsmen simultaneously launched attacks on five other communities, Obakume, Idrisu, Ogo, Ayojeju and Ikboba, all in Omala Local Government Area, killing several people and setting their houses ablaze.
Earlier, Joshua Angulu was said to have been killed by some herdsmen while working on his farm at Abejukolo. According to reports, the man was hacked down for raising the alarm when the herders raided his farm.
The killings in Oganeinugu were said to have taken place after the herdsmen stormed the community with guns and other weapons and slaughtered residents, mostly women and children.
According to a witness, the bandits killed four people in a particular house belonging to a serving policeman, wiping out the whole family.
As at the time of filing in this report, the killings were said to be ongoing as members of the community were still running helter-skelter, making the actual casualty figures uncertain.
Investigations showed that the killings by herdsmen in Kogi increased to a frightening dimension following the blanket invitation Governor Yahaya Bello gave to all Fulani herdsmen late last year.
The governor, who was the first to embrace the proposed establishment cattle colonies, even threatened to depose any traditional ruler who failed to cooperate with the herdsmen.
Many are reportedly missing after fleeing into bushes, which makes it difficult to have a clear figure of those dead or wounded.
Meanwhile, there are reports that a new set of Fulani herdsmen/terrorists has crossed into Omala Local Government Area across the River Benue from Nasarawa State. They are said to be camped in the Obakume forest, preparing for attacks on Abejukolo, the local government headquarters, and adjoining villages.
National president of the Ife (Omala) Development Association, Dr. James Odaudu, has appealed to both the federal and Kogi State governments to take urgent steps to forestall the planned attacks.
According to him, the people are yet to recover from last year’s attacks on Bagana and other villages in the local government, which led to a number of deaths. Odaudu also appealed to the people to refrain from actions capable of breaching the peace.
The acting Commissioner of Police in Kogi State, Kuryas Monday Bala, confirmed the attacks and said his men have been drafted to the areas to forestall further killings. He declined to give the casualty figures but promised to brief the press later.

Buhari has not told Nigerians and the world who ordered the withdrawal of soldiers from Dapchi school before boko haram kidnapped the school girls and he’s now moving to negotiate with boko haram.. Buhari is now doing business with terrorist.
Have you seen the video of a jet fighter of the Nigerian Air Force giving aerial bombardment support to the Islamic Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists attacking a village in Adamawa State, just few days ago? …more than 30 villagers were burnt to death.
Do you know that the Nigerian Army raided a shrine in Benue State and arrested a Chief Priest for administering invincibility charms on vigilante youths to protect the community against the Islamic Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists?
Keep speaking grammar on political correctness.
You watch # BBNaija and CNN, you start forming liberalism and call truth “bigotry”
If the Army can gather intelligence to stop a planned attack by Benue youths, what stopped the Army from stopping the Islamic Fulani Herdsmen terrorists attacks that lasted several hours and was recurrent within days intervals?
Nigeria is in Africa, our practical reality is different from that of UK and USA.
General Buhari, an ex military dictator and a coupist is the President of Nigeria.
General Buhari is a Fulani, and own cattle in their hundreds
General Buhari is a reserved Islamists, and has spoken in defense of Sharia in the past.
General Buhari has personally defended the Fulani herdsmen in the recent past.
Please, take Emmanuel Macron, Xi Jiping, Angela Merkel, Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau …show me the remotest similarities to General Buhari.
You’re talking about Physicists, Scientists and Harvard graduate, then , after you watch Hollywood movies you’re applying their psyche in Nigeria under General Buhari.
Do you even know that in November last year, the Islamic Fulani herdsmen terrorist shot at a NAF jet fighter in Numan communities of Adamawa State, but the fighter jet could not return fire because General Buhari gave instructions to them, not to use force on Fulani?
…this was after more than 100 persons were slaughtered by the Islamic Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists in Demsa and Numan communities of Adamawa.
It’s even funnier that DSS and NIA has come to say that they are rather Islamic State of West Africa (a branch of ISIS) not the Islamic Fulani Herdsmen Terrorists
Now, ask your skull… Why is Army arresting Nigerian youths in Benue State for trying to defend themselves against foreign Islamic terrorists, but is yet to arrest these Islamists?. .President Buhari has legalised and institutionalised bloodshed in Nigeria. he has licensed his Co Fulani animals to terrorise and kill anyone who oppose their satanic cattle colony . a fool that creates no jobs and provides no infrastructure but goes about sharing hunger and death to the people he is supposed to be leading. an animal whose govt is built on lies, blackmail and intimidation .
