NAN- The Otaru of Auchi Kingdom, Alhaji Aliru H. Momoh, in Edo, on Monday announced the arrest of 24 suspected Boko Haram operating as Fulani Herdsmen in the community by the Nigerian Army.

The monarch told newsmen in his palace at Auchi, headquarters of the Estako-West local government area of the state that the commandant of the Nigeria Army School of Engineering, NICOHO, near Auchi, informed him of the arrest of the suspected insurgents.

“Shortly before you came, I had audience with the commandant.

“He informed me about what they are doing and the arrest of some 24 suspected of Boko Haram operating under the guise of Fulani herdsmen in the community,’’ he said.

“The commandant also informed me that the suspects would be transferred to Benin,’’ the Highness said.
He commended the commandant for taking proactive steps to have taken the fight to the suspected insurgents in the forest, saying that the “issue of security needs careful planning and execution’’.

The Otaru, who described the activities of the herdsmen in the area as worrisome, said “we have asked farmers, especially the women, to stop going to the farms for now”.

“We gave them some grants to enable them to engage in petty trading in the mean time, to avoid the incessant attacks on them.

“The traditional council is collaborating with the army, security agencies, and some vigilance groups, and we have recently incorporated the hunters to help to evolve lasting solutions to the problem,’’ he added.

when I was traveling last weekend I saw so many vigilantes on the way especially in Auchi with weapons, now I know why they are there.

I pray God safeguard them too and Kudus to Edo government for taking swift action.

Hhhmmm
God will expose d activities of d wicked

nawoooooo

Ok

Ok

There's no need arresting them. Unless London were able to cook the vegetable if not he will release them the moment he comes back.

Kill Them All

And may God expose more of these in Jesus name Ameeeeeeeeeeen

There's really no difference between those two, Fulani as herdsmen or Fulani bokoharam, they have three things in common, they're​ both Fulanis, Islamists​ and murderers.

Ok

I weep for this country

Alhaji momoh wehdone sir.

Pinshure or...

I hope this bring relief to Edo and neighboring states...

Hmmmm

Ah! See me see Edo state! Pls who knows how i can get an escape visa from Naija in less than 24 hrs?

Jesu,evil people and their tactics,please i don't want to hear that the released them or they escaped

Nigeria is in deep trouble if things have gotten to this stage. This means that as we speak, boko haram may be all around us, disguised as herders or suya sellers.

If this trend continues, then we are headed for famine.

I wonder why anyone would allow a fulani person in their backyard after all these revelations.

One tribe has forced Nigerians to abandon their houses, farms, and jobs. Just one tribe.

What more reason do you need to outlaw these monsters that are not fit to be human beings?

okay!

I keep repeating this:
Fulani herdsmen are boko haram...
How did I know?? My friend Attah told me...

I pay Attah $8000 every month to tell me the truth...

The north has a plan. We need to be vigilant.

Anyone who comes to the SS zone in pretense of grazing should be dealt with.

Infact we need the grazing bill implemented in all the SS zones asap.
