Muhammed Hussein who was addressing journalists in his office in Lafia alleged that six Fulani herdsmen and 150 cows were killed by suspected military at Akpanagya in Doma and Keana Local Areas on Tuesday.
“We are worried how six of our members were shot dead by some bad eggs that are in the military. If the military suspects any Fulani man for any crime they should arrest and prosecute him and not to just kill like him that.
“I am not aware of what led to the attack but I was informed that some soldiers just invaded Fulani settlement and shot six of our people including a traditional title holder in the Fulani community.
“If you claim that the Fulani people committed a crime how about the cows, what did the cows do that warranted the killing of 150 cows. What for?" He asked.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Miyyeti Allah in the state said that the peace meeting between Fulanis and Tiv is yielding fruit as Tiv people are begging to return to embark on farming.
