Were they wearing military uniforms to deceive the infidels into complacency, or were they really Nigerian military personnel? A contact in Nigeria explained to me: “The Nigerian Army is always complicit in the Jihad. They even aid it actively. Most times these attacks happen close to army command headquarters and they always shelter the terrorists who always have military-grade weapons. When they saying over 90% of the Nigerian Security is from the Northern Region, they are telling you that at least 70% is Fulani. That’s their politically-correct way of saying it.”
The Fulani, referred to as “herdsmen” in this article, are Islamic jihadis who are trying to establish a caliphate in West Africa.
“16 Killed In Fresh Attack On Enugu Community By Suspected Herders, Residents Flee Homes,” Sahara Reporters, December 9, 2022:
Sixteen people including women and children have been confirmed killed in Eboh Autonomous community in Enugu State.
This comes after a fresh attack by suspected Fulani herdsmen on Eboh, which is in Eha-Amufu under Isi-Uzo local government area of the state.
SaharaReporters gathered on Friday that the fresh killings occurred on Thursday when the gunmen suspected to be herdsmen along with collaborators from Benue State launched an attack on Eboh Ishialu village.
Community sources told our correspondent that the assailants wore military uniforms, which deceived the people and made them relax when they first saw them.
Some residents who spoke to SaharaReporters said as of 9 am on Friday, the number of bodies recovered was 16 and that a search for missing people was still ongoing.
Several people also sustained gunshot injuries while about seven houses were razed by the invading assailants.
Ndukwe Olinya, a native of Eboh Ishialu, told SaharaReporters that it was difficult to determine the number of people killed because so many people had deserted the community.
He said, “We have recovered 16 bodies of our brothers and sisters killed. Among the victims are five women and seven children. The number could rise as the search continues. The assailants wore military uniforms and that was why they got many people. People felt that they were soldiers who came to protect them and relaxed before they suddenly opened fire on the people.
“We believe they were not only herdsmen, some of the assailants are from Benue State.”
A community leader, Chief Maxwell Olinya, while corroborating Odoh’s account, said, “Thursday, December 8, 2022, is the darkest day in the history of Eboh community. I lack the words to describe what is happening in my community. The security agencies are not helping us.
“The soldiers are only at checkpoints on the major roads harassing motorists. The attacks don’t come through the roads. They’re in the bushes. Why can’t the government deploy drones and attack helicopters to check the bushes? You see military helicopters when they (soldiers) are chasing members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN). Although, some of them are criminals like seen in the Nigerian security agencies.”…

These are trigger happy mentally deranged men, intoxicated with a false god’s religion for carrying out the dictates of the evil god. That evil god has brainwashed them to believe the evil can be purged of on earth, exactly the antithesis of what the Bible says.
Had islam not been camouflaged as a religion, the West would have banned it long back, as it is such an odious ideology pitting the so called pure (Muslims) against the impure infidels. Religion needs a new and better definition; evil religion is not religion at all.

If God created all life on planet
Earth, (which the Holy Books
state He did) then who are
Muslims to kill anybody in the
name of God? The doctrines of
Islam appear to be demonic as
well as paranoid schizophrenic.
😈 🤪

This will continue until the The Fulani either run out of infidels – or run out of bullets.
