[size=14pt]Plateau Crisis: Fulani Leader Arrested, Detained[/size]
14 Jul 2012

By Seriki Adinoyi in Jos

The National Secretary of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBA), Saleh Bayeri has been arrested.
This is as former Military of Delta State, Colonel John Dung (rtd) debunked the allegation credited to Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), General Jeremiah Useni that Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State was the cause of the persistent violence in the State.

Bayeri was arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) when he honoured invitation from the Commander of the Force, Major General Henry Ayoola, who handed him over to the State Security Service (SSS).

STF Spokesman Captain Salisu Mustapha confirmed the arrest, adding that Bayeri has been handed over to the SSS for interrogation.
Meanwhile, the STF has virtually relocated its base to Matse in Barkin Ladi, following another attempt by the attackers to invade the villages they had earlier attacked on Saturday and Sunday. According to a statement by the state government, no life was lost in that invasion as the STF reportedly waded off the attackers

Former Military of Delta State, Colonel John Dung (rtd) has reacted to the statement credited to the Chairman, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Gen Jeremiah Useni (rtd), in which Useni claimed that Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State is the cause of persistent violence in the state, saying ‘Useni’s claim is not true’.

Dung, in an interview with our correspondent said, “If Jang is the problem why are they killing the innocent people in the villages. Some of these villages are not even Berom villages; Maza and Babale that were attacked by gunmen sometimes ago are not Berom villages. So how are they linked to Jang?

“I don’t know why he said what he said, but I know that the problem is not Jang. The problem is purely political and Northern problem. May be he said so because he is the Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum. But that is not true; I disagree with him totally on that comment.

“What I know is that we need to work together in unity as Plateau people”.

Meanwhile, a Christian Cleric, Prophet Isah el-Buba of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministry International (EBOMI) in Jos said the President should be bold, adding that “it is better not to be re-elected as Nigerian President who stands on the path of truth than to compromise with people to sink the nation”.

On the activities of the Islamic sect known as Boko Haram, el-Buba pointed out that they are not faceless as some people would like to make other believe, arguing that they are known only that people are trying to shield the for selfish and religious reasons.

Hope Yakubu Gowon is really concern about what is happening in his state and the North in general.

At least this is from a credible source. The question is: is the SSS compromised or not?

he might provide useful information to the sss

Nawa for that Jeremiah Useni

75 % of those that make up Arewa are patrons of boko haram. Sadly enough, is the truth

Abeg hepl me ask am

So disappointed with Gen Jerry Useni for being such a coward.Because he holds the position of President of Arewa consultative forum he cannot stand on the side of the truth and say it as it is.Yet the Fulani continue to slaughter his kith and kins in Plateau.

ebamma: fulanis are parasites any were the are,the will eat from u wit one hand and kill u with the other hand

And u re from which part of the country Mr Selfish?
they have contribute allot to the economy of this country even if u find it difficult to believe that.

Cowardice communal crisis is in every part of this country. you cant just reach a conclution that they the fulanis are responsible for that attack even after a group have claim responsiblity. to justify your claim, wait for the outcome of the investigation by the authority concern and stop judging by what u sit down in front of ur computer and read from the newspaper u cant not authenticate the source

i said it that in a sane society, this Bayeri guy will be awaiting time for the electric chair for the murder of those innocent children and women!

What is the essence of arresting him when he will still be released 2ru d back door. Just a matter of time b4 d fulani bigwigs bribe those sss and he will be discharged and acquitted. D only solution is 4 the Berom natives 2 arm and defend themselves against any attack. Only then will the attackers cease attacking when they meet superior force. The Stf and d police can only offer temporary protection but d permanent solution only lies with d pple of plateau unless they want 2 be entirely exterminated 4rm dis mother earth.

I dont see any problem in interogating him, but I think they should interogate Ayo Oritsejafor too because I dont trust that man he look like evil to me, and also king of plateau.

Pls can someone help with this;What's the conflict based on?who are the berom's?why are they pointing accussing fingers at jang?
What's the main cause of the crisis?its not neccessary you explain,just quote me a link to read

Are you daft? Is Ayo from plateau? What interest are you fighting for? People like you are the ones drawing this country backward. May God judge all the likes of you very soon.

Nawa o! When will all dis come 2 an end...

@mjay must u be in Plateau before u could be involve in the crisis, I suspect Oritsejafor is having influence in Plateau. I wont abuse u i would just let it .

How Many of the Asare Dakubo and OPC leaders have been arrested and Released without any trial?
stop posting rubish my friend.

The STF has clearly taken sides by ordering the Fulani out of their homes and now arresting the only man who speaks their side of the story. The man is being arrested for informing the world about STF killing Fulanis & destroying their homes which was the immediate cause of the recent crisis. Now that they are embarking on another round of massacre they arrested the only man they know will tell d world.

see you andyour screwed way of reasoning! if the cause of the problem is attributed to STF killing fulanis and attacking their villages then why did the fulanis retaliate by killing plateau villagers instead of attacking STF?

what we call persecution, and every fulani in the middle belt should not feel persecuted and victimised? and who is arrested on the side of the birom and other groups? technically this is a declaration of war against the voices of fulani in the region, you we have people sitting in power who have failed the region

@namfav what is the big deal if a fulani is being interogated? if he is innocent then he should'nt be afraid or his people shouldnt be intimidated. You dont know may be they would arrest a prominent Bero leader too u never can tell.

in a space of two years ,the fulanis have killed more innocent nigerians than malaria & aids combined! it wouldn't hurt one bit for a couple of their leaders to be under the hammer!

wic dirty court be dat

Reverend Isa El buba, the notorious former Jihadist from Borno and a great grand son of Uthman Dan Fodio turned pastor has spoken the truth

when my northern brethrens are ready to say there should be an end to BH, they will be an end

Also the presidency needs to be stern with this incessant plateau state fracas, cos the reprisal the beroms will likely plan won't be child's play . . .

This man honoured an invitation from the Commander of the Special Task Force (STF), Major General Henry Ayoola, and he was rewarded by being handed over to the State Security Service (SSS). His Birom counterpart remains free to continue to lead his war against the Fulani people. This strategy simply shows the incompetence of the leaders of the STF. They are fueling the flames of war rather than trying to put out the fire.

STF knows who the leaders are on both sides, where they live, how they operate and who their financiers are. Why can't they round up all the leaders and come up with a comprehensive plan at the federal level to resolve the conflict. A military strategy lead by incompetent generals is a recipe for failure.
