President Buhari Orders Investigation Into Benue Killings by Ezenwammadu(m): 9:21pm On Feb 28, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered an investigation into the clashes between herdsmen and indigenes of communities in Benue State.

President Buhari who expressed deep shock at the latest incident during the past week, which led to hundreds of deaths in four communities in Agatu, Benue State, ordered security agencies to get to the root causes of the problem.

“We will conduct an investigation to know exactly what happened; the only way to bring an end to the violence once and for all is to look beyond one incident and ascertain exactly what factors are behind the conflicts,” he said.

He added that all Nigerians must learn to live together as one, in peace and unity.

“We are all one nation and one people,” he said. “There should not be any reason why Nigerians of any group or tongue cannot now reside with one another wherever they find themselves after decades of living together.”

The President further expressed condolences to the government and people of Benue State, particularly the people of the Agatu communities, assuring them that the government would do everything possible to ensure that no such incident ever occurred in their midst again.

“Once the investigations are concluded, we will act immediately to address the root of the problem,” he said.

Are these herdsmen above the laws of Nigeria?



You can't be killing Nigerians in ph because of few criminals in their midst and overlooking these vampires.

I can only tell those affected to arm their selves and fight back for self survival since government won't do their duty. And also victims should come together and sue the fg, it's security agencies and state government for falling in their duty.

Good development. Despite the fact that PMB is flying from one place to another. He is still doing what he was elected to do. Weldone. Nigeria will rise again.

When you show an initial sign of weakness/fear in your community, the Fulanis take advantage. Match their first assault with a greater assault, ten bullets for one bullet, and see how loyal they will remain in your community. An eye for an eye won't make the world go blind, instead, it will make people to be cautious when dealing with others.

Fulanis are murderers. While those from South West and South East are at loggerhead and debating who Fulanis have killed the most, the Fulanis are everywhere anihilating people, maiming and causing havoc.

All hands must be on desk. The only thing the Fulanis (not all) knows is violence. Give it back to them.

whether opposition or not dis is not d first time DAT Fulani herdsmen will kill it has been in existence since previous administration failed to solve the problem, I hope they will find a lasting solution.
Re: President Buhari Orders Investigation Into Benue Killings by naijaking1: 10:25pm On Feb 28, 2016
So, let me get this:

Some market women demonstrate for Niger Delta, Buhari sends airforce bombers to wipe out the whole area
El Zaky's group form a procession on Friday: 700 or more are mowed down
Biafran supporters hold an unarmed prayer meeting in Aba: 20 are shot dead and their bodies dumped in trash
Fulani herdsmen raid unarmed farmers' village for 107th time killing more than 300: Buhari orders or promises to order an investigation, and urges Nigerians to live in peace with each other!

Does any body see the double standard here

Please note that mr. President didn't condemn the killers. Mr. Buhari we welcome all investigations, but we all know who causes these heinous crimes and why.
Please, mr. President kindly implement the 2014 CONFAB, that document proffered very good panacea to help stop the killing by these Fulanis. It gave good insights on grazing paths and ranches, and if we're not careful we may never curb this menace.
According to the Fulanis all lands belong to Allah, as such their animals can graze on any field besides they revere these cattle above other humans. How pathetic!
