At last, it has emerged that the group of herdsmen operating in Nigeria's middlebelt states of Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba and even those that recently killed scores of people in Zamfara state, are Boko Haram sect members, and not actual Fulani Herdsmen.
The photo above are the faces of some of the men reigning terror in the land. These men were captured by the military. They were said to have taken part in the recent killing of hundreds of people and burning of houses in the Wukari area of Taraba state. They have confessed to being members of the Boko Haram sect.
“A group of terrorists operating under the guise of herdsmen from a camp in the outskirt of Wukari have been arrested, while others died after an attack on military check point at Gindin Dorowa, a suburb of Wukari in Taraba State.
“Other members of the group were sighted in the course of air surveillance and later trailed to their camp where they engaged the troops in a battle...
“The terrorists were clad in the usual pattern of dress of their counterparts operating in Borno and Yobe States.
“One of the apprehended armed men confessed that he had been fighting for the terrorist group in Borno State and was recently brought to Wukari area in furtherance of their mission. Assorted arms and ammunition were recovered from them”.
Said a statement signed by the Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade.
