To successfully end
the killing of farmers by
allegedly Fulani herdsmen
and adequately protect
farmlands for massive
cultivation, the federal
government is contemplating
engaging the services of
officials of the Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence
Corps, NSCDC.
Minister of Agriculture, Audu
Ogbeh made the disclosure
while fielding questions from
newsmen after Wednesday
meeting of the Federal
Executive Council, FEC
meeting chaired by president
Mohammadu Buhari at the
presidential Villa, Abuja.
Ogbe said that he was in
talks with his counterpart at
the Ministry of Interior to
work out the modalities.
He recalled the ordeal of the
former Secretary to the
Government of the
Federation, Chief Olu Falae in
the hands of the marauding
herdsmen, saying that it was
one experience that had
scared farmers and agro
investors.
The Minister said that the
development had also
affected bumper harvest of
most staple and essential
food items which could be
produced locally.
He said: "I had a meeting
with the Minister of Interior.
We were looking at security
situation in agriculture.
Sometime last year, some
gunmen went to Olu Falaye's
farm, a Nigerian in status, in
age and ranking and took
him away and marched him
around, forced him to trek 10
kilometers, even carried him
on their backs. Many more
farmers are coming in
including foreign investors
and to stand the risk of
being subjected to this kind
of humiliation, we are talking
with Ministry of Interior that
we have to put measures in
place.
