Rashidat Olowoniyi, the 30-year-old wife of a murdered farmer in the Imeko-Afon Local Government Area of Ogun State, Dele Olwoniyi, has said she watched in disbelief as herdsmen macheted her husband to death, for challenging how their cows ate his cassava crops.

Peeping through the curtains inside a small hut at a farm settlement located at Oha village in the Imeko- Afon LGA, Rashidat recalled that she could not shout alongside her only child of a 10-year-old marriage so that the killer herdsmen would not harm her and her son.

Olowoniyi’s wife was said to have found him dead with machete cuts in his neck and other parts of his body.

Speaking with Punch, Rashidat claimed that the suspected herdsmen were 18 and stormed the farm at 12am with six motorcycles and started shooting indiscriminately.

She added that some of the killer herdsmen reportedly attacked her husband in his sleep and macheted him to death.

She said, “We had slept that day but my husband decided to sleep outside. My son and I slept inside the room. I was inside when they killed him. They first started shooting; it was the gunshots that woke me up. I opened the curtains slightly and I saw them. They came in six motorcycles and three people were on each motorcycle. I saw them leave after killing him.

“He was dragged on the floor. They beamed torchlight around to see someone else but I dodged behind the curtains. I watched as they took his phone, wallet tied to his waist and ransacked his pocket for money. They spoke Fulfulde. That is what made me know that they are Fulani.”

On what she felt could cause the attack, Rashidat said that her late husband had two months ago complained to the Fulani community after some cattle reportedly ate his farm crops. However, she said the Fulani community apologised to him, unknown to them that they planned to attack him later.

She added, “Cows ate the cassava on his farm awaiting harvesting. We were waiting for rain before harvesting so that we could plant new ones. That was the reason we didn’t harvest the cassava. The cattle ate the cassava we planted last. My husband was angry because of the development.

“He challenged the Fulani on why they allowed their cattle to eat his crops. He told them that his farm was not in the bush. They begged him and everything was settled. That was two months ago.”

The widow further said her husband’s killers were still using his mobile phone, appealing to security agencies to apprehend the culprits and bring them to book.

She said, “We want the culprits to be arrested. We want the government to help us. The deceased’s child is still young. There is nothing I want to use to train him. He is just six years old. My husband’s death is a tough one for me because his death caused me much pain. He didn’t enjoy the fruits of his labour. He had started the new planting season but they didn’t allow him to finish it.”

This is DE-HUMANIZING and UNACCEPTABLE. Every human being must be treated with dignity and respect.

Bandits Planning To Acquire Anti-Aircraft Missiles, Attack Military – Sheikh Gumi

Islamic cleric, Sheik Abubakar Gumi, has said that bandits are intensifying attacks and kidnapping in parts of the country.

Gumi said the bandits are trying to raise money to acquire anti-aircraft missiles and attack the military.

The Islamic cleric, who recently visited forests in Zamfara State to discuss with the bandits, said his interaction with the bandits showed that they engage in kidnapping and collection of ransom to raise money to buy weapons.

Gumi on his return from the forest called on the government to grant amnesty to the bandits so they could drop their weapons.

The cleric said these in an interview with Punch.

While explaining that the bandits were victims seeking justice, Gumi warned that it was important for the government to urgently meet with them before becoming religiously radicalised and uncontrollable like the Boko Haram insurgents.

The cleric said, “These people were the first victims of cattle rustling, who lost all their cattle to rustlers because then, the rustlers had the guns. When they lost their cattle, they ed (the rustlers) and started to kidnap people.

“In fact, most of the kidnappings, they (the bandits) are doing it to acquire weapons. They are now trying to buy missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. This is already developing into a full-blown insurgency, and we should stop that. And what we are afraid of is that if they become religiously radicalised, it will be tough to control. You see what Boko Haram has become.

“As I said, they are collecting ransoms to buy weapons. Look at the herdsmen in Oyo and southeastern states. They are not buying skyscrapers or riding Mercedes; they are still in the bush. They don’t want money. They want their cows, not money. They are doing that (kidnapping) to raise money to buy weapons to repel helicopters and aeroplanes and attack anybody that will attack them. You have to understand the psychology of these people. They are not like our governors that are stealing money. They don’t want money. For them, a cow is better than money.”

However, Gumi said he realised that the bandits had collaborators in the armed forces.

He said, “They have collaborators everywhere – in the armed forces, everywhere. One of them said, ‘Even this cattle rustling, we don’t have trailers to transport cattle to where they are slaughtered. We don’t have an abattoir.’ So, there are people who are (collaborating with them). Even the kidnapping of the people, they said, ‘We don’t know these people; it is the people in town that will tell us a certain person has money.”

But Gumi’s call for amnesty for bandits has been widely rejected and criticised across the country.

Among those who rejected the cleric’s amnesty proposal for the bandits were Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, and his Niger State counterpart, Sanni Bello.

The Nigerian military recorded heavy casualties today. Not sure but I think it's NAF, very sad day.

Birnin-gwari Kaduna state, a mine incident.

By tomorrow, the media and people will be celebrating the lost of lives of patriotic Nigerians . Honestly, we don't deserve the sacrifices of these heroes.

It was a sight of weeping and tears on Saturday as a middle-aged man, Friday Arunsi, a native of Ebem Ohafia, Ohafia local government area of Abia state who was killed last year by trigger-happy policemen at his home town is laid to mother earth.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIB1N7TeE
ABN TV gathered that friends and family who could not hold their tears as he was being committed to the earth exploded in uncontrollable tears.

Recall that the late Arunsi lost his life shortly after the COVID-19 lockdown was declared in Abia early last year.

He was accosted in his hometown by the irate policemen for allegedly violating the protocol and later killed unprovoked, a situation that threw the community in chaos.

I hope there will be justice for this guy.

Those who were meant to protect him, killed him by shooting at him with an assault rifle for no tangible reason.

I'm pleading with all of us here not to post any videos, pictures or links regarding the issue.
Dignity in death is a little thing we can do to appreciate them.

Mines in Kaduna?

Before Boko Haram became a real problem there were several incidents of bomb blast in Kaduna. Making an IED shouldn't really be an issue for the bandits within that area.

Do you have any idea how he could be reached?

He is already reached when I mentioned his name. Hopefully, Nairaland will not allow gory images of dead Nigerian soldiers on its platform.

BokoHaram expert on bomb-making, Goni kánnú, responsible for IED’s & suicide bombing devices that have killed hundreds of civilians + soldiers in Nigeria & Cameroon in recent years was fatally injured in Talala in the ongoing Nigerian Troops onslaught against insurgents.

Mines in Kaduna?

Years ago, I did my IT training in Olode/Oko-Ogun axis in a gemstone mining company in oyo state. Most of the miners who drilled the rocks to plant explosives were mostly Kaduna, Nassarawa, Plateau indigenes.

This was almost a decade ago. This expertise has been with us for long. Obviously, elements within Boko Haram are already mixing with these bandits. They are deploying BH tactics faster than we expect. These negotiations is just distractions to buy time.

There's a blurred line between the two.

Happy val ladies and gentlemen. Help me say a word of prayer in your closet for a friend. He's a soldier and he has been transferred to katsina state to fight those bandits.

Please pray for him and many others. He's from bayelsa and he's 22yrs old. Thanks

A video shared online shows Some suspected Fulani herdsmen sharing AK-47 and Ammunition in the Bush for self-defense.

Who could not hear exactly what they were saying but the video shows some weapons in Carton and guns beside them.

According to reports, the Herders are getting ready to fight back as they are being evicted from the Bushes and forests in the southern part of Nigeria due to terrorism.
