Herdsmen and arms

THE Fulani herdsmen have taken over the landscape of Nigeria, from the middle belt to the South East, through the South-South, to the South West, they invade everywhere, including farms and eat up crops. The move around with AK 47 rifles and dangerous weapons which they use to subdue, maim and kill.  They are above the law, security agents are confused and they lack the synergy to nip this in the bud, a security issue that is going at par with Boko Haram how come they bear arms and security agents cannot disarm them? Why is the government not paying attention as applied to Boko Haram?

The recent massacre in Benue and Kaduna states is a wakeup call to security services to confront the menace now, tomorrow will be too late
