With what? Cutlass I guess. You don't know the county you are living. Once they armed themselves that is when security men, police, army, DSS will intervened to disarmed them and to arrest them. You think what is going on is not an agenda.
The only confusion is that the COAS and defence staff are from the south. So why do these things still continue?

But is that not weird for this to persist under a Southern Presidency, and a Yoruba Presidency at that?

Did Tinubu receive a phone call from Buhari telling him to "take it easy" with his herdsmen terrorist brothers and simply let the carnage they create continue? Was there a hidden deal somewhere about that?

If not....why are the Security Agencies not taking an Extreme no-nonsense approach in tackling this menace with the same zeal they mete out in either killing, arresting or disarming vigilantes?

That's the bullshit we were told until Anambra formed Agu Neche Mba and the South West formed Amotekun. That priest is not serious about securing his people because his family members haven't been affected yet.

Alia is clueless
He can't do much. He obviously doesn't control the armed forces. The president does which limits him

The blood sucking vampire called Sultan is not saying anything now that his men are on rampage. He and his cohorts are quiet. Let the table turn around and hear him bleating like a Sheep.

Smart Politiician...I know you are smart guy. But let's critically examine these scenarios carefully and contrast it with Benue's. Agree?

Anambra's Security outfit greatest threats come from WITHIN Anambra itself. Statistically, I bet they have encountered more cases of Igbo-on-Igbo crimes compared to actually facing incursions from Jihadist Terrorists pretending o be herders.

Amotekun has evolved to be more sophisticated and has elevated their ability to TRACK visitors and strangers within the cities and rural areas. But do you know the advantage Amotekun has now? First they have the "distance" advantage from many actual Terror hot spots (same with SE by the way) and they have an IGP who is giving them every necesaary support and backing compared to the situation in the Buhari era.

Here is why Benue is different from the two cases you mentioned. The actual DENSITY of people (as is common in rural areas and agricutural states) is LOWER in Benue state compared to the SW and SE. Higher density places and regions translate to greater communication and tracking and less opportunity for outside terror attacks to acually succeed. Less dense rural farming places where the settlement patterns are spread out means an evil terrorist horde can actually create a plan of attack and device multiple means of escape without being quickly tracked. The response time is longer to distress alerts because of the massive geographical distances to cover.

This is common in Middle Belt States and this unique situation urgently necessitates a different type of homegrown Security Architecture in those environs. These people deserve every legal means and backing to OWN their own guns--because of the lesser density of people reality when compared to high density areas where a little grudge and argument could lead to an all out shoot out.

People in vulnerable rural areas DO NEED the leag backing to own automatic weapons and also arm their vigilantes to the teeth...something I have learned is currently not possible under your very fake Jihadist-friendly "consitution".

I personally love living in less dense places with enough space to roam and think. But now that so called humans have become more dangerous than animals....one needs to be armed. They all need to be armed out there.

Omo....I think this Benue killings now requires urgent attention by the international community as the people are not ready to defend themselves
Defend themselves with what? Na your type dey run leave your state kpatata because of insecurity. People who choose to stay back in their village and not run are more braver than you, who is in the town always opening mouth up and down shouting defend yourselves. Make them catch the bullets with hands? Or you won use cutlass fight gun fight?

It is worth declaring a state of emergency in Benue state! But our Baba is too busy with stuff unrelated to Nigeria's major problems

They are not just herdsmen but terrorist. At this state if I were to be State governor I will equip local vigilantes with critical fire power, then with drones that will help them to survey some of the forest then launch an attack against them. Since Federal government have decided to collude with this terrorist.
To end these things are like A and B. Some people are just allowing this Fulani herdsmen to have their way. This is just a grand plot from the caliphate.
State police will suffice while local govt chairman will handle vigilante

It seems like all of us don't understand what the monarch said ...

He said they " Fulanis of Today" came to kill their people , dispatch them and occupy their homes and lands....

Now the question to ask is who and who in Government are in support of this agenda by the FULANIShuh?

Are there agreements signed that Fulanis will occupy Benue State, Kwara and enter South West fullyhuh

Or is it that they will occupy Benue , then from Benue move to Enugu from Enugu to other parts of South East and South Southhuh

The reason is not far fetched why the Military, DSS, Navy and all have you, have kept quite or acting little drama to pretend like they are working out something...

There is an agenda going on and was agreed upon if not who are these heardsmen that Army can't wipe outhuh

If only you understand he has little powers concerning traitors and providing adequate security to combat them...

Fulanis can't just enter a land or State and start killing people all, displacing them and occupying their homes and lands even their wives....

It is an agenda and an agreement signed from above, the Governor can't do anything concerning it except the above says otherwise...

See them here.....the number of dead people doesn't concern him, he is after the strongest and let the strongest win and take over ...
Exactly what I was saying ....

If the people decide to take arms , they will be labelled terrorists by the above....

If they leave the matter for government to handle, they end up being killed ...

The irony is that if any had survived and defended his life, the Supreme Court would probably sentence him to death by hanging.
