You Can’t Stop Us, Fulani-Herdsmen Tell Igbo Groups

Following call by some groups that Herdsmen should vacate the Southern part of the country over indiscriminate attacks on host communities, herdsmen have fired back, saying they will graze in whatever part of the country they want. Nuru Abdullahi, chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in Plateau state, told a Daily that Fulani herdsmen could not be “deprived” of their constitutional right of freedom of movement. “Why would they ask them not to go to the southern part of the country? It is their constitutional right to move freely as guaranteed by the laws of the land,” he said.
“What the various governments and security agencies should do is to prevent attacks and counter-attacks and such things that breed violence like cattle rustling and trespassing into farmlands.” Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari and Solomon Arase, the inspector general of police, have ordered an investigation and prosecution for those found guilty.
