Sequel to the persistent attack by Fulani herdsmen, ‎the Njiya-Goron Community in Adamawa, the home State of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has threatened to take the law into their hands, as a way of stopping the continued attacks on its people, by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

The community maintained that, with the attacks on its people, it is left with no option than to fight back, since authorities had failed to contain the herdsmen’s incessant attacks, which they said had claimed several lives and destroyed properties.

The community has been reportedly attacked on several occasions, which has led to the death of many, with properties worth millions destroyed.

‎Addressing journalists on Monday, July 4, in Yola, the Chairman of the community, which comprised 13 villages, Manassah Nayangom, said the community had so far lost 65 people and properties, worth over N2 billion.

“The hunting and killing of our people at will, by these blood suckers must stop; otherwise we have no choice than to take drastic measures to defend ourselves, for it appears the government does not care whether we are dead or alive.

“There were wanton destruction and looting of our properties worth billions of naira by vandals.

“This left us with no alternative, than to run to the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, in order to enforce our fundamental human rights, as we hold strongly that the right to life is a universal gift of God, that no race or tribe, no matter how strong, can lay higher claim to it, as being insinuated by the Fulani herdsmen,” Mr. Nayangom said.

He further called on the Adamawa State Government, to constitute a Judicial Commission of Enquiry, in order to fish out and punish anyone involved in the killings.

“We wish to emphasize that the Federal Government, must urgently summon the political will to forge a lasting solution to the menace of the Fulani herdsmen in Adamawa State.
