Plateau murder of 22 Yoruba Muslims plot to set SW against Middle Belt

Press Statement

The callous murder of 22 Yoruba Muslims in Plateau State on Saturday is a well designed plot to set the Middle Belt against Yoruba Nation.

A Yoruba self determination group, Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA) on Sunday said it has asked its Intels in the middle belt to obtain details adding that preliminary reports from multiple sources indicated the attack was planned by the Fulani Caliphate but executed by Plateau youths acting on false information passed on to them that those in the bus were Fulani coming to attack them.

AOKOYA urged the Yoruba people not to retaliate the gruesome murder of the 22 Muslims in Plateau State.

On Saturday, 22 Yoruba Muslims travelling in Plateau State were murdered by Plateau armed youths. 14 others were wounded while a few managed to escape the horror.

Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA) a Pan Yoruba self determination  coalition on Sunday said the killing was a well orchestrated subversive plot to set the South West against the people of the Middle Belt.

The group said the killers acted based on counter intelligence passed on to them by Fulani agents who told them those in the buses were Fulani coming to attack the Youths.

The group said "The 22 Yoruba Muslims were killed by Plateau youths. This was a clear case of mistaken identify. Behind the killing is an outstanding suspicion that the youths were fed with information by some government informants who wrongly warned the Youths that the travellers were Fulani coming to attack them. It was a deliberate misinformation with the hidden motive of setting the Yoruba people against the people of the Middle Belt. They expect spontaneous uprising among the Yoruba against the Middle Belt. This will not happen" the statement signed by AOKOYA's official Ahmed Akorede said.

AOKOYA said the condolences by Miyetti Allah and the Presidency were nothing but crocodile tears.

"This is a clear case of war strategy by the caliphate to divide and polarise the growing unity between Yoruba and the Middle Belt. In war strategy, friends ca attack each other through disinformation from the enemy. The choice of Yoruba Muslims as the sacrificial lambs is a deliberate plot to align the Yoruba Muslim population with Fulani Muslims. Unfortunately for the heathens, children of Oduduwa are not defined by faith but by common history and ancestry."

AOKOYA said the immediate response of the Presidency and Miyetti Allah to the carnage was a design to give the false impression that they care about Yoruba Muslims while in reality both Yoruba Muslims, Christians and Traditional religion worshipers have been victims of Fulani hate killings and terrorism over ages and at the present.

AOKOYA urged the Government of Plateau State to pay compensation to the victims while taking over the burial expenses.

"The 22 Yoruba Muslims are martyrs. They were victims if Fulani conspiracy. The Middle Belt could not have attacked Yoruba Muslims or Christians. What has happened will  not stop the alliance between Yoruba and the people of the Middle belt held down by the savage murder and killings of the Caliphate and its agents."
