From ABDULLAHI SHAAIBU, Lafia
No fewer than 15 persons, including the village head of Burum-Burum killed in another communal clash between the Eggon ethnic nationality and the Alago/ Gwandara ethnic extraction in Burum-Burum Village, Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
According to an eyewitness, the incident, which occurred at about 5:00p.m on Sunday was an escalation of the crisis between the Fulani herdsmen and Eggon farmers, which the Eggon blamed the Alago/Gwandara, for taking side with the Fulani herdsmen, a situation which compelled them (Eggons) to attack the Alago/Gwandara tribes in the area, leaving 15 persons and property worth millions of naira destroyed Daily sun investigation further revealed that the attackers killed mostly adults and children, sparing young and old women.
Meanwhile, the corpses of both village head of Burum-burum and those killed had been deposited at the Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital, Lafia, where relations and sympathizers gathered and were seen discussing in groups over the unfortunate incident. Some of the sympathizers who spoke to Daily Sun expressed their disappointment with the security situation in the state and called on Governor Al-Makura to sit-up to tackle the current security challenges in the state.
WHY ALL THIS KILLINGS EVERYDAY? LETS US SHOW LOVE TO EACH OTHER WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, WHAT IS ALL THIS? WHAT DO WE GAIN IN KILLING OUR FELLOW HUMAN BEING, WHY ARE WE DIRTING OUR HANDS WITH BLOOD? REMEMBER THE JUDGEMENT DAY, STOP THE KILLINGS TO AVOID GODS ANGER.
Why all this killing? Vampires are on rampage seeeking for human blood to sustain their lives. All these are the handwork of agents of satan. They stair communities against each other, and the more the killing the more the blood for their satanic blood bank. If you know how to pray, pray so that Angels of destruction from heaven will visit those agent of darkness with vengeance.
Bad news again ! Why killing fellow human beings any how ? If pastorial farming would be the cause of regular killing, let our leaders resettle these farmers. Human life is precious.
Nasarawa again pls value lives there are ways of solving problems through dialogue which most involve forgiveness.Pls stop all these it not good.
Pls stop d killing,lets make nigeria & d world a better place 2 live.one luv my people
These same people killing each other will also pray 5 times a day then go on to kill what God created,what a shame.
Shedding of innocent blood everyday for just cause. Instead of stopping the fulani invaders you are there killing your brothers and sisters. Think twice.
These people doesn’t know the value of life.they don’t value for theirs how much less others.they equate cows & rams with human life.stupid barberians!

KILLING WILL NOT THE PROBLEMS LET UNDERSTAND OURSELF TO AVOID FURTHER OCCURENCES AND THE GOVNOR HAVE TO DO SOMETHING URGENT TO AVOID THIS
PLS VICT STOP THAT KIND OF COMMENT
Very unfortunate! Although fantastastic and nice. Thats the fruit of disobidience. Learn from dis, the evil u do today must and will affect u or ur generations tomorow. When God promised Abraham dat he will have a son via which he will have pple and children in abundance, he culdnt wait for God to execute His plans at the apointed time. He went into his wife’s maid and she concieved and gave birth to Ishmel, a wicked and hearthles child, an unlearned and greedy boy, uncivilised and blind-folded tribe, humanles and a never-do-well people; people whose mental organisation is as gud as the goats, pple whose religion teaches violence, pple with mental slavery. A generation acurse and devoid of godlines. There wil never peace in dat land untill the people pray to God for forgivenes of the mistake of Abraham, becos they were born out of mistake.
Dis nomadic Fulani ar d main cause of al dis killing. If u can identify a major cause, then d problem is half solv. But d political class, d governor, village heads has al faild in dis case. D fulani shud b restricted.
These problems are caused by lack of education&the attitude of the fulanis for always claiming landlord wherever they find themselves.They forget that the place is not their homeland just unlike other tribes that think home.
Hausa/fulani are u not tired of killing?
The Govt at all levels should set up security alert system and be pro-active to security issues to avoid such senseless killings.The police force should be strengthened (enlist more police men)and community based policing expanded(on aggregate of one police station per every 30 miles in populated areas/50 miles in less populated areas). Villages should have one police station per every two villages. By this way the police will live with the people and able to give timely signals to relevant authorities on the slightest suspicion of breach of peace/security.Let us be wise
Look, wether killing in the north, south, east, or west, killing is kiling. Life is precious to God and man whether muslim or christian. No rejoicing in any act of killing innocent people. I know this community and they are both muslims and christians. You also have pagans. Alagos are more of muslim than the eggons who are the largest tribe in that state. Lets pray for peace as well as the govt to encourage the fulanis to start setting diary farmland if they cannot afford highly modernised way like in america/europe. Chasing cattle from one part of the country to another today is too archaic. I want to advice my igbo brothers to enter in modern raising of bulls.I KNOW THEY CAN MAKE. By so doing, we can reduce the activities of fulanis in the east, thereby removing unnecessary tensions/killing by this men esp in the east. You can get intouch if you are seriously interested.
