*Narrates How Herdsmen Allegedly Prevented Burial of Her Mother
A young unidentified lady has lashed out at Northerners amidst the outrage over the killing of some Northerners in Edo State.
NPO recalls that the hunters were travelling from Rivers State to Kano for the Eid Al-Fitr celebration when their truck was intercepted by a vigilante group in Uromi area of Edo State who found some of them in possession of locally made dane guns.
This incident has therefore sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across the Northern community.
In reaction to this, the young lady narrated how herdsmen allegedly prevented the burial of her mother, noting that they had to flee the village immediately after she was buried after getting news of the Fulani herdsmen coming.
She also lamented about the ordeal of her village in the hands of Fulani herdsmen, stating that they kill people everyday.
“I don’t have a village, the middle belt is bleeding. I do not have a village anymore because of Fulani herdsmen. Every day the Fulani herdsman are unaliving people.
“We could not bury my mother when she died, we had to give it two months because the whole village was surrounded by Fulani herdsmen.
“Kogi is gone, Benue is gone, everyday, Agatu people are running from their villages because Fulani herdsmen are attacking them.”
“My mother is an important human being in that village so when she died you will expect that the whole crowd will be sitting by my mother’s grave but what did we have? When we came the village was gone, nobody was there, only few people had guns are were waiting for us.
“If not for tradition that the body must return back to its ancestors, we would not have buried her in the village, the grave was already dug.
“We put her in the grave and got out of the village immediately because we heard that Fulani herdsmen were coming but Uromi 16, you guys are defending the hunters.”
“Fulani herdsmen must stop. The government must stand up. The middle belt is gone
“People will be sleeping the night, Fulani people will come and attack people and unalive them and steal their properties. You cannot be selectively bias.” she said
