Operatives of the Joint Task Force, also known as Operation Delta Safe, disclosed yesterday, October 27, that they had discovered at least 23 human skulls and a full human skeleton in some of the shrines operated by militants in the Niger Delta.

“ With the clearance of these shrines, the Bakassi Strike Force has effectively been smoked out from the area they used to hold sway. It should be noted that the senseless killing of humans for ritual purposes is sacrilegious and will not be tolerated in any form,”

“They were duly arrested and have been handed over to relevant authorities for further investigations. The unity of Nigeria is non–negotiable and it is sacrosanct.

Photos of 23 suspected Fulani Herdsmen evicted from Cross River State

On Friday, in Obudu, a joint team of the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigeria Police Force evicted at least 23 suspected Fulani herdsmen who were identified as illegal migrants from Niger Republic, Punch reports.

The eviction was coordinated in conjunction with the office of the State Security Adviser. The immigrants were escorted to Gakem, a border town between Cross River and Benue states, from where they will be led out of the country.

A witness, Sunday Alenke, said,

“They came into Obudu a few months ago and have been selling traditional medicines to people and penetrating the villages.

But our people have noticed them and there is outcry to get them out because of the prevailing security situation involving Fulani herdsmen in nearby Benue State and across the country. Our people have expressed serious fears about their presence.

The Immigration invited them and they found out that some of them had expired ECOWAS passports while others did not have any paper at all. So, they decided to get them out of Obudu. They handed them over to a monitoring team in Benue State that will see them out of the country.”

When contacted, the State Security Adviser, Jude Ngaji, said the migrants were evacuated because they had no valid documents and could not convince the security personnel on why they came to Obudu. He noted that the exercise was carried out in the most civil manner.
