Dangerous Ombatse Leader Killed By Fulani Men

The Ombatse spiritual leader has been reported dead, killed this
morning during an early raid in Alakyo, near Lafia, Nasarawa State.
This was reported by Daily trust, who states that Baba Alakyo, the
spiritual leader of the Ombatse, an Eggon group was killed in the
raid.Alakyo is the village where 74 Nigerian security officers had
lost their lives as they where ambushed and killed on May 7th 2013.
Legal Adviser of the Ombatse group, Barrister Zachary Zamani Allumaga
said that according to information he has gotten, the raid was done by
the fulani.He however later sent a text message to say the information
on the killing of Baba Alakyo may have been cooked by "those who don't
mean well for peace".
He had said that Fulani gunmen had attacked the village around 5:30
am. It was difficult to locate any source within the village, but
persons displaced from neighbouring settlements told Daily Trust that
heavy and sustained gunfire was heard at dawn in the village.
Some Ombatse men had tried to defend the village but by the time they
arrived it was already occupied by the Fulani Militia, who went on to
burn downcars and house.One Eggon leader from Akura called Dail Trust
and said it was pure genocide against his tribe.
He said:"From the information we have received, Baba Alakyo was
killed". Allumaga, the Ombatse leader, alleged that the Fulani came
from Wamba, a neighbouring local government area.
Hussaini Mohammed, the state secretary of the Miyetti Allah, a Fulani
group, denied that Fulani people were on genocide against the Eggon
people, just as he denied knowledge of any invasion by his tribesmen.
