The simple truth of the matter is that lots of herdsmen have been arrested and prosecuted and even convicted for trespassing on farms and so on and so forth, but there are people who do not like that fact to be reported.

Dear diary, you might remember that I told you that I was discussing with a Nairalander some years ago and she declared that "No Fulani herdsman has been arrested for trespassing on a farm" and I immediately produced 5 articles about the convictions of various Fulani herdsmen for trespassing on farms and threatening farmers. At least she was good enough to accept the evidence, some people will immediately declare that "It's a lie", even though they have no facts with which to dispute the reports. They just don't want to hear it because it does not fit into their agenda.

One more thing here. These links back up what I have often written on this thread, that is (1) If a person commits a crime, the person should be arrested and prosecuted. You cannot hold an entire ethnic group or occupation responsible for the offences of some people. (2) Much of the powers that are required for tackling this problem lie with the state governments. State governors have shown that they have control of the police (when it's time to victimise their opponents) and most of these acts are offences against state laws.

2019: Grazing law: 81 herdsmen convicted, 3,000 cows arrested in Benue — Ortom


2016: Herdsman gets 2 years sentence for grazing

2017: 15 Years Old Fulani Herdsman Sentenced To Death By Kogi State High Court

2020: Court sentences herdsman to death for murder

etc.

@ naptu

I can see that you like "talking" to yourself. Why is it that one can't quote you and respond to you? Or is it because there are no facts to back your claims. Provide the links to those convictions. No matter what, if true, probably 1% of all cases involving these evil fulani ethnic militias. No one has an agenda except an agenda for justice for all. No man should be above the law.
