No be small wahala, wey don happen for Plateau State again. As e be, gunmen strike herders wey dey return from shopping for Gero community, Jos South Local Government Area. Dis attack happen for night of January 6, 2026, and e leave one person dead and another critically injured. Na Ibrahim Yusuf Babayo, wey be the MACBAN chairman, talk am as e confirm say dis kine matter dey happen like movie, but Na real life o!
According to wetin Babayo talk, dem don trail the herders as dem dey waka go their cattle shed after dem finish market run for Gero. The victim wey die na Zakariya Abdullahi, while Jibrin Musa wey dey receive treatment, dey fight for im life. Wahala no be new thing for Plateau State, as dem don record plenty killings for 2025 alone, and na wetin dey pain dem pass be say, e no dey stop.
MACBAN chairman no gree hold back as e lash out for dem wey dey perpetrate this ongoing violence. According to am, e talk say dis na just one of many attacks wey don happen. Just two weeks ago, five herders wey dey drive for Conoil along Bukuru Expressway, dem injure dem well-well. Dem claim say na Berom people wey dey behind this attack, but people wey dey for that side no gree accept blame, call am unfounded talk.
Solomon Dalyop, wey be the Berom Youth Moulder Association National President, respond chop the allegation, call am fake news wey no get base. E talk say four of him boys don also get issue for the mining site na dem work go face. If we no sabi who be who, the whole matter go just resemble Naija film wey no get koko!
Babayo don call on security agencies make dem step up dem game to catch the people wey dey cause this wahala. E dey appeal to members as dem sabi say calm heads go fit carry the matter better instead of running wild dey cause more trouble. Wetin dem dey call ‘Operation Enduring Peace’ suppose make sense, abeg! Na all of dem dey call on General to come balance wetin dey run for that area.
But e still remain say security agencies no dey rush to respond as dem still dey gather their stand. Even Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja from the Army Public Relations don still dey quiet. Na so we dey hear am; we go shine eye make e no be say dem go consider only the usual suspects while dem dey untangle this matter.
Nigeria don dey face plenty issues, and the way dem dey handle dis herder-farmer clash no wan change since time began. People dey call am ‘systematic ethnic cleansing’, dem gree say na time for government make dem give sharper focus to dis attacking wahala. Na wetin mean say security no suppose dey ‘one-sided’— every man warrant dem own protection!
