BREAKING: Adamu Attacked, Killed

Adamu Idris Gabdo, a 70-year-old Fulani leader of Panyam District in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State, has been fatally attacked by unidentified assailants.

The state chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Nuru Abdullahi, confirmed the incident, stating that it occurred on Saturday evening while the deceased was returning from a visit to the district head of Panyam.

Abdullahi attributed the attack to Mwaghavul youths in the area, but Lawrence Kyarshik, the spokesperson for Mwaghavul Development Association, denied the allegation.

Kyarshik said, “I have not heard this until now and I believe our people won’t go to this level of attacking and killing the Ardo (Fulani leader). The allegation is baseless.”

The Transition Implementation Committee Chairman of Mangu LGA, Hon. Markus Artu, has condemned the killing. In a statement released in Jos on Sunday, he described the act as barbaric and a criminal act committed by those opposed to the peace prevailing in the state.

Artu assured the people of Mangu that security forces were actively pursuing the perpetrators of the crime and would soon apprehend them to face the full force of the law.

He stated, “The entire Mangu Council authority has distanced itself from the incident. The people of Mangu have since resolved to live in peace with each other, irrespective of tribe or religion and would not allow anyone to come between them.

“The incident was a deliberate act by hoodlums who are bent on throwing the council area into another round of chaos at a time when relative peace has been achieved and the people are returning to their ancestral homes due to many efforts made by the state government under the leadership of state Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang,” the council chairman added.

While calling on the Fulani herders to remain calm, the MACBAN chairman urged security agencies to ensure the recovery of Ardo’s remains.

It is worth noting that over 300 people have lost their lives in various villages of Mangu LGA in recent times, as reported by Daily Trust.
