These are the faces of some of the people causing
terror in Nigeria. These 17 men you see above are Fulani Herdsmen who were
recently captured by the military. They were part of the group that terrorized
residents in Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba and Zamfara recently. They also took part
in the recent killing of hundreds of people and burning of houses in Wukari,
Taraba state. After their capture, they confessed to being members of the Boko
Haram sect.
The military released the pic above and a statement
signed by the Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade.
Find it below...
“A group
of terrorists operating under the guise of herdsmen from a camp in the outskirt
of Wukari have been arrested, while others died after an attack on military
check point at Gindin Dorowa, a suburb of Wukari in Taraba State”.

members of the group were sighted in the course of air surveillance and later
trailed to their camp where they engaged the troops in a battle.
