THE NORMAL SEQUENCE OF EVENTS:

1) Herdsmen attack a particular location and there are no security agents for as long as the attackers are there killing and maiming. This happens even when the locals got pre information about an impending attack. (In one instance in Enugu, a particular herdman broke ranks and informed the villagers of a possible attack! The villagers, together with the local government chairman, reported this to the police. Yet, the attack happened and lasted for hours without the Police providing any help. Remember the staging post in this case, was a nearby herdsmen settlement, so it was not as if the police did not know where to go to make arrests in order to nip the massacres in the bud!)

2) Killings over, The Herdsmen disappear and after some hours, gorry looking security men arrive and cordon off the area, expending more energies trying to stop the victims from retaliating while doing little to go after the killers or to arrest them! (This is where the accusations that The security agencies are working hand in hand with the herdsmen starts to gain momentum. In almost every fulani herdsmen attack, the security agencies always look confused on what to do! Even when the location of the attackers are known, the security outfits around these areas will continue to prevaricate until the killers finally disappear from reach.)

3) Governor and high ranking police and military officers arrive for photo ups and cries. They will then visit victims at the hospital and promise that no Stone will be left unturned in catching the culprits.. (These days their shame don dey shame me. How they do this every time without shame is stunning! They know the culprits, they know that the federal government is not doing enough to end the menace, they know that another massacre will soon happen elsewhere, yet, with a straight face, they pretend like they will do something, when they are obviously afraid of taking the bull by the horns!)

4) President Buhari expresses "shock" and "sadness"...., then promises that those responsible will never go unpunished....., He then goes back to his toothpick! (The man is unbelievable)

5) Presidential aspirants start to make hollow statements enjoining the security agencies to "fish" out the culprits... Ditto political parties and then....

SILENCE!!!

That's it. .

NO ONE WILL BE ARRESTED NOR TRIED OR JAILED.

Thousands of killings have gone this way in this country and no one has been jailed from Agatu to Southern Kaduna to Berom lands in Plateau to Uzo Uwani in Enugu!

Sometimes when I drive across Nigeria, I can't help but wonder at the multitudes of heads I see. How can these millions of people be so quiet while few sets of people use their heads to play ludo like this?
Is it practically possible that the presidency or the ruling party or the rulling ethnic group in power are not aware of the originators of these killings, Inspite of the fact that the camps of the killers are known, yet no one is arrested or prosecuted nor jailed?

How come it is very hard to see any Fulani Herdsmen that has been arrested and jailed for their crimes against humanity in Nigeria since the coming of this regime?
How can you allow murderers to continuously walk and roam free while expecting acts of violent murders to subside? Is that even remotely possible? The answer is NO! By allowing killers to get away with their crimes, the government is simply energizing a state of terror in Nigeria.

Well said!
No sincerity amongst the ruling class in ending the insecurity. The Governors have the power to end this, but the WILL POWER is not there.

Notice that no one is talking about the killers of Deborah in Sokoto just few weeks back! That is no more news. The press and their brown envelope problem. They will never bring any information related to that case the front burner again. See is gone... Just like that.. for ever..
Don't be surprised to note that her killers will find their way home without much noise or fuse in no distant time.., that's if they're still in prison.
How about the over 100 people that were killed in Jigawa and Katsina last week!?
Not a single arrest! And you want memto believe that those in power don't know what's going on?

hmmm, true.

Who were killed at Nkpor?
Kidnappers were rightly gunned down after a kidnap operation and you tortured soul is going to compare that to the mindless stoning to death of a lady by her classmates? some deranged religious extremists masquerading as students?
Are you this daft and dense by choice or were you born like this?

Excellent write up
