Following the incessant attacks on communities in Kaduna by Fulani herdsmen, Southern Kaduna People’s Union, SOKAPU, yesterday warned it would no longer restrain its youths from reacting if any of its communities was attacked by suspected Fulani herdsmen again.
SOKAPU said this in reaction to last Saturday’s killings of five mourners in Aduwan village, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, where a five month old baby allegedly shot on the chest and head was among those who were reportedly killed.
The association which is the major organisation connecting all socio-ethnic groups in Southern Kaduna revealed that no fewer than 100 of its members had been killed in unprovoked attacks since April 2011.
The National President of SOKAPU, Dr. Ephraim Goje, in a chat with newsmen also said that the Joint Task Force, JTF, in Southern Kaduna should be disbanded as it had outlived its usefulness.
“Between 9 and 10 am last Saturday, as youths gathered to mourn the demise of an aged community leader in Aduwan, some 10 armed men in military uniform stormed the place and opened fire on these defenceless, unarmed people with no apparent reason. They are said to be Fulani. They killed five people. Six were critically wounded and are now receiving treatment at the Jos Teaching Hospital. Four who were not so hurt are are St.LouiseHospital, Zonkwa.
“A five- month old baby was among the victims. The baby was shot in the head and on the chest. Its mother was also shot death and the lifeless body of the infant dumped on the dead mother.
“This will bring to 25 the number of such inexcusable invasions by the evil people since the April 2011 political violence. From our last count, we have lost well over 120 people in such bizarre manner.
“And it is coming after we have made robust progress in bringing back those who left after the April 2011 violence and many are still returning.
“I know the kind of intervention we the elders had to put to stop our youth from going haywire. They have told us that this will be the last blood to be shed in Southern Kaduna. They said we will never be able to restrain them next time.
“And I want to say it here, that if the JTF cannot protect us, they should pack and leave. We will mobilise resources and the wherewithal to protect our land, our lives and resources. And we will do that with the last drop of our blood.
“What is most shocking is that each time someone is arrested, nothing happens to the person. He is left to go free. There seems to be some kind of conspiracy between these cowards and security agencies. Why hasn’t any of those caught been prosecuted? We are calling on the state government to set up neighbourhood community watch in every community here and fund it. They will work with the police. The message is that, enough is enough,” Goje said.
That is long due, i dont know what is wrong with christians not being able to rise up to occasions like dis, exactly what is happpening in jos, they will wait wait & wait till the situation is no longer bearable before they think of striking back, who does,nt know that the security apparatus is in the hausa/fulani,s hand, and these are the same pple u think they can protect u, let them northern terrorist get near my niger delta let my pple teach them the lesson of their lives, fools.
Teach who lessons? How many are you in Nigeria? They always talk tough while they are cowards who go out in the night to steal oil and sell for booze and women? Does this sound like warriors to you? Nonsense! Just reacting to pure speculation. What proof have you that they are Fulanis?

People of southern kaduna pls arm yourselves and prepare for these hausa/fulani apes. It’s time to teach these subhumans that nobody has the monopoly of violence. Hausa/fulani race are subhumans and I don’t regard them as human beings. They deserve total annihilation from the earth. Fuck islam, Allah and idiot prophet mohammed the paedophile murderer.
