| Truly Nigeria is as wretched a hive of scum and villainy as there is in this world. |
The Benue State government says its Community Volunteer Guards have arrested five suspected imported muscle known as Amazonian fighters.
It said the suspects who confessed to having links with Islamic terrorists, Boko Haram
 ...not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
were between 25 and 40 years old.
The Special Adviser to Governor Samuel Ortom on Security, Lt. Col. Paul Hemba (retd.), who disclosed the arrest in a statement on Wednesday obtained by The PUNCH, said the suspects were arrested on Monday afternoon at Jato Aka roundabout near a drinking joint.
Hemba gave the names of the suspects as Stanley Vincent, 25; Ojong David; Njeke Ronado, 42; Ngum Emmanuel and Obem Samuel, 26.
The security adviser said one of the suspects, Stanley, when questioned, lied that he was a soldier with the Nigerian Army, serving at Ojo, Lagos State.
The suspect claimed that he was assigned by his boss to escort them to Cameroon
...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there...
"However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable...
his identity card was not found on him, a development that triggered suspicion on those suspects," Hemba said.
He stated, "On August 22, 2022, at 3 pm, at Jato Aka Roundabout, near Dzoho Aondofa Drinking Joint, Kwande Local Government Area, the BSCVG arrested five Amazonian Fighters suspected to have had links with not only Boko Haram, but also Amazonians fighting the Republic of Cameroon for years.
"Further checks revealed that chemical weapons
...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented except among devout Moslems...
which carry a label ’DANGER’, Military Uniform, charms, and undisclosable number of ammunition were found on the Ambazonians who further disclosed to have stayed at Agogo Hotel, Jato Aka, for a period of six months uninterruptedly, a hotel owned by one Dooorun Agogo."
He however noted that the suspects had been handed over to the police.
The security adviser said the suspects might be responsible for armed robbery and kidnapping incidents that have occurred in the council area in the last six months.
SaharaReporters had reported that Benue State has been a hotbed of insecurity occasioned by attacks by suspected Fulani
... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity...
herdsmen on local communities.
Several hundreds of people have been killed including Catholic priests during attacks on worship centres.
Disturbed by the failure of the security agencies to protect the people of the state from the marauding herders, Governor Ortom on August 4, unveiled a community volunteer guards outfit.
The security outfit, the governor said, was established to address community security and safety.
He denied allegations that the volunteer guards were established for political purposes ahead of the 2023 general elections.
