LAWYER SOUNDS ALARM OVER RISING ATTACKS IN NASARAWA, ALLEGES FULANI TERRORIST CAMPS IN KWARA, KADARKO, DOMA
A human rights lawyer, Ayiwulu Baba Ayiwulu, has raised serious concerns over escalating insecurity in Nasarawa State, claiming that parts of Kwara, Kadarko, and Doma have become operational bases for Fulani terrorist groups responsible for repeated attacks in the region.
In a statement to journalists, Ayiwulu described the situation as “a sad and helpless reality”, following the killing of three Migili youths from Duduguru along the Kwara–Gidan Rai road by suspected Fulani terrorists.
“Another sad moment as three Migili youths of Duduguru have been killed along Kwara–Gidan Rai road. My area of Kwara, Kadarko, and part of Doma has become the camp of Fulani terrorists, from where they launch attacks on both Nasarawa and Benue States,” he said.
The lawyer lamented that these attacks have forced residents to flee their homes, leaving several villages deserted, including Amurayi, Antsa, Doshima, Agbogio, and Gidan Mdza — all located behind the railway line in Kadarko.
“We are now helpless and may no longer have a place called our village,” he added.
Ayiwulu criticized authorities for neglecting rural communities despite repeated killings, calling the government’s silence unacceptable.
“People are being killed every day in this same axis, and yet the government is saying nothing. Do we have security in this state? Do we have a senator, representatives, and house members? We are in trouble, walahi,” he said.
Residents in the affected areas have reported frequent gunfire and nighttime raids, urging urgent military intervention.
As of the time of this report, state authorities and security agencies have not responded to the lawyer’s claims.
