The northern governor’s forum (NGF) has alleged that most of the herdsmen responsible for the attacks on communities in Nigeria are immigrants from Senegal and Mali.
Northern governors blame immigrants from Senegal and Mali for herdsmen attacks across the country.
Governor Shettima said the forum had resolved to work with relevant stakeholders to secure Nigeria’s borders and register Fulani immigrants entering into the country to rear cattle, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
“We also mapped out new strategies that would be used by the local Fulani herdsmen to rear their cattle without having to move across the country,” he said.
The Chairman emphasised the need for every Nigerian to see security as his or her business, pointing out that the nation would remain backward if there was no peace.
He acknowledged that the country was experiencing lots of challenges, particularly in the northern region, but expressed optimism that things would get better.
The joint meeting, which had northern traditional council of emirs and chiefs in attendance, discussed issues of insecurity, the management of common assets and measures to move the region to greater heights.
The warning followed a point of order raised by the chairman, committee on Federal Capital Territory, Senator Dino Melaye, at plenary on Tuesday, January 24, The Punch reports.
Melaye raised the order in reaction to photographs of killings from other countries, allegedly posted on the social media, under the guise that they took place in Southern Kaduna.
He said some persons were using the cyber space to post dangerous pictures which Muslim and Christian preachers have been reacting to.
Now,my question to all these english and grammer written is this,immigrant,imported or local fulani,are they spirits?Why has nobody been arrested for the various killings going on in various states nationwide by these fulani herdsmen?Yet when one pastor advices his congregation to defend themselves,an order is given for his arrest,take it or leave it,una agenda no go work
