...Vows to protect lives and property against militant herdsmen

By Peter Duru

MAKURDI—The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, has pledged to deploy soldiers to Benue State to assist the Police protect the lives and properties of the people against any resistance to the Open Grazing Prohibition Law by militant herdsmen.

This was revealed, yesterday, by President General of the Mdzough U Tiv, Chief Edward Ujege, while speaking on behalf of the ethic leaders at the end of their second leg advocacy visits across the country.

According to the elder statesman, the leaders had also written heads of the Police, the Department of State Services, DSS, the Navy and Air Force seeking their support for the successful implementation of the law.

Lieutenant General Buratai’s promise came on the heels of the alarm raised by the leadership of the three major ethnic groups in the state— Mdzough U Tiv, ldoma National Forum and Omi Ny’lgede— over alleged threat by Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore to invade the state with herds of cattle in defiance of the newly-enacted grazing law.

According to Ujege, the ethnic leaders had also petitioned the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, over the matter.

He said: “In addition, the proactive action taken by our socio-cultural organisations has made Nasarawa State Government to take precautionary measures to hinder the herdsmen/militia from using the state as launching pad to invade Benue State.

“The delegation, through its advocacy, has been able to obtain a pledge from the Chief of Army Staff that troops will be on standby to assist the Police in case of an invasion.

“The responses to our advocacy have been very encouraging with about seven states now contemplating the passage and domestication of similar law in their states.

“We, therefore, commend Governor Samuel Ortom for setting a revolution that will change livestock breeding and animal husbandry in the country. “We appeal to all Benue indigenes to rally round the governor and give him all the support he requires to make this mission and all his other programmes successful.”

grin thank you Benue people for showing the world that you don't fight madmen but rather confront them with the instrumentality of the law backed by shuttle diplomacy!

God bless Benue People!

Benue the trend setter good on them. Buhari can't be anyone's excuse for not doing anything about herdsmen. Anyway I wonder which 7 states are considering passing anti grazing law. I only know about Plateau.

No all Ekiti did was ban herding by sundown. You're still free to graze cattle in state. Benue set the trend that other states are implementing being full ban requiring ranching.

Ekiti: Grazing activities must be from 7:00a.m. to 6:00p.m. local time daily.

we tried begging
we tried to pay them off
we tried negotiations
we tried fighting
then we brought the LAW

all these could have been avoided if only people listen to reasonable complaints in Nigeria

This is one of the main reasons Nigerians are calling for STATE POLICE under the CONTROL of The State Governments.
To prevent a RUSH TO RESCUE BY THE MILITARY.
Now, instead of Buraitai sending his Soldiers, Oga Idris should immediately send heavy Police Reinforcement to Benue State, to stop the recalcitrance of Miyetti group.
Miyetti and Bokoharam are brothers and sisters.

Burutai is trying to do what he loves doing

He is going there to help Fulani herdsmen to terrorize the ppl of Benue. Its obvious that they don't need military presence anymore.

Why sending soldiers when its not needed, Fear Burutai but respect God..

Have the police complained that they are overwhelmed by the herdsmen? Why do our soldiers like ridiculing themselves by involving themselves in things that do not concern them? I don't blame them. They lack real challenge and they want to stay relevant by all means by doing police job.

And we're not fools, we know they're not going there to offer any support to the Benue govt. We all know they are going based on Buhari's order to provide cover for the Fulani herdsmen.

Fulani herdsmen had a field day massacring people of Benue and the army didn't deem it fit all those while to protect them from the marauding blood suckers. Now, that they have been tamed and rendered incapacitated, the northern soldiers just woke up.

Welcome to the federal republic of northern Nigeria. Nonsense

Imagine the stupidity

When the herdsmen were killing people, the idiot COAS didn't offer any help

It's now that the herdsmen are being attacked by the government, he now wants to offer help

What a dunce

You guys shouldnt accept the help or else soldiers will help the Fulani to break the law

And the soldiers will kill the law abiding citizens

We know the outcome already. The next day we'll hear that Fulani herdsman massacred a whole village.

Guess news headline the following day
"The presidency condemns the actions of the herdsmen and reiterates it's commitment to ending violence in the kwantry".

You understand the snake charmer who saved his sojaman salary to buy multi million dollar mansions in Dubai and bubu the grand master of the 40 thieves cabal in the All Poverty Congress, APC presidency has not sacked him.
Has the governor of Benue state, who is the Chief Security Officer called for reinforcement by the army?
Trust Buratai at your risk and peril.

hmmm. i think the elders of the community should jointly issue a statement,rejecting the offer of the military,and cite instances of where the herdsmen have gone on rampage and were given shield and cover by the military(that's if the stories making the rounds that the military has been aiding and abetting these herdsmen). this would put the army in a very uncomfortable situation cos a lot of eyes would be on them. any silly mistake,would prove that the communities were right,afterall.

The NA has found it's strength now the anti-grazing law has been passed, where was Burantai when the Fulani terrorists were killing the people of Benue.

We all know that this is a smoke screen by the army to protect the Fulani terrorists while they graze and kill at will.

Bookmark this post,there will be an attack by Fulani terrorists in less than two weeks from now.
