Obiano orders police to treat roaming herdsmen as criminals, calls them rapists

The Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has ordered a fresh headcount of herdsmen in the state.

The governor gave the order during a one-day stakeholders' security summit held at the Prof Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka, the Anambra State capital.

Obiano who said there was such headcount last year maintained that after the new census, that would commence any moment soon, police and other security agencies in the state should treat any roaming herdsmen in the state as criminals.

The governor said," You should treat any itinerant herdsmen as criminals. Security reports show that it's these itinerant headers that commit all manner of crimes to have their way through.

"They are the people that kill, kidnap, rape and harass the people with impunity. Those of them carrying any type of firearms should be treated as armed robbers .
"We have a census of the number of herdsmen resident in Anambra state and by the last census in January last year they were 77 and I have directed our new Police Commissioner to carry out another census and after the census we will not allow herdsmen into Anambra state or passing through Anambra state.

"They are those that carry AK-47 and any herdsman that carry AK-47 is an armed robber and they are those that get involved in kidnapping and all manner of crimes in the state because they are on transit and cause trouble and go away.

"I understand that there are some traditional rulers who have not been holding the periodic Cattle Menace committee meetings which is headed by the Police Commissioner and such meetings are also to be held in the local government areas.

"Any traditional ruler that fails to hold the meeting would have his certificate withdrawn from him because non conduct of these meetings is against the law establishing the committee."

Obiano who said the security and welfare of the people had remained top priorities for his government for seven years, said within the period under review he had bought over 500 vehicles to the police and had fuel all duty police vehicles for the period.

He urged the stakeholders, including security agencies, community leaders, vigilantes, youths to strive to keep the state's record as one of the safest states in the country, while vouching his government's continued support in that respect.

The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, who was represented on the occasion by Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Finance and Administration, Joseph
Egbunike had expressed dissatisfaction with the activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra who he accused of fomenting trouble in the South-East, including attacking and burning police stations.

He asked elders in the state to the secessionist group to order before it would worsen the security situation of geopolitical zone.

Naso

What you ought to have done !
Thank you anyway
..
I hope other Governors will do the same .
But , is this how this country will keep going ?
Things are getting hard day by day , no hope nothing nothing . The government are doing their own while citizens also do thiers , inflation everywhere ,agony ,pains , hardship , suffering and smilling and no one cares .
This heat is much !

It's now this one's eyes have cleared

At least am happy about it not that pussy ass licker of a governor we have in Imo State all in the name of serving his fulani masters.


Unknown number calling expecting me to talk first, welcome to breathing competition.

That is one thing I like my governor for, though he is not doing well in infrastructure but at least he is not ready to pet those useless Fulani herdsmen....Benue state governor is always ready to square up with the Fulanis anytime any day and anyhow

Reality is dawning on everyone

He didn't accuse them, he stated the obvious.

They are rapists, killers, kidnappers

All Fulani herdsmen are potential criminals

this man is a drunker.
him be judge?
