The killing of innocent people in Benue State by the Fulani herdsmen has continued to raise dust. People must be itching to hear that arrest has taken place which is exactly what must be done. The perpetrators should be prosecuted without too much talking. But this is Nigeria and anything can happen. Will this case again be treated like nothing? Will it again be swept under the carpet? Well let’s keep our hands crossed and see what happens.Meanwhile, Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, in an interview with newsmen spoke on the New Year attacks and killings on account of the anti-open grazing law and the consequent protests. He said that the right thing to do is for the Federal Government to wake up to its responsibility and arrest the leadership of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore who did not hide its feelings but threatened to frustrate the anti-open grazing law, adding that if the Federal Government do not do this, then they are simply saying that Benue State is not part of Nigeria.
Femi Fani-Kayode was very blunt about the matter. In his tweet, he said, “Buhari is using his Fulani herdsmen to wage a silent genocidal jihad. 120 innocent souls slaughtered like "point and kill" catfish and the very next day he appoints a DG for his 2019 press campaign organization. How can anyone be so cold, callous, cruel and insensitive”? I thank God for honest people.
