The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has deployed the special teams of the Nigerian Army to Benue, Taraba and Nasarawa states to check further loss of lives.

Buratai, who disclosed this yesterday in Abuja during the distribution of farm implements by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at the military ranch in Giri, pledged that the military would restore peace and order in the affected states, adding that it would be easier to develop the agricultural sector and boost the nation’s economy in a peaceful environment.

His words: “We are asking our Special Forces Brigade to ensure that they are deployed across the county at short notice to ensure they stem the crisis between herdsmen and farmers.


“We have deployed officers across Benue, Taraba and Nasarawa states where to ensure peace and stability for the development and betterment of our country.”

He disclosed that the military had secured 436 hectares of land in Nasarawa State for agriculture purposes, stressing that once the nation achieves food security, criminal activities, including insurgency, would reduce drastically.

The army chief, who said the idea of ranches in military formations came to him while on a course in Bangladesh, stated that soldiers nationwide now engage in various forms of agricultural activities, including poultry and horticulture.

Unseriouness at its peak!!!

Confused people!!! Nigga below me killed it though

They are only sending the troops to aid and protect the government sponsored killer herdsmen and prevent the indigenes from defending themselves by shooting the indigenes during protests or any form of gathering;and also prevent them from forming local vigilante groups...

OK

More like Buratai sends reinforcement for Fulani militia ..we all know how it goes .

what is unserious about sending troops to those places??lets stop politicizing everything.....

lalasticlala,Mynd44

Soldiers and troops and military operations all over the place because you folks dont have a country, you have a corporation, where the resources are owned by Queen Eliza and her friends. Instead of forming African nations that will promote your interest many of you guys are there praying for peace in the devils zoo being managed by Fulani thugs...


Too bad

I dont understand how ranches will be created in the barracks for fulani herdsmen nation wide. Army protecting cows or how?....

Hotshawarma:

How many times have those region especially Benue state been terrorised and attacked by those herdsmen

Why then did it take them months, weeks or days to send troops I believe they even did it cos most people have recently canvassed in favor of Benue state and called the attention of our deaf federal government.

You that doesn't want to politicise issues ,Oya answer me!!!

Where are the likes of omenka ooops I forgot. No b ipob thread b this!

You just nailed it. Those troops can't be trusted.

Okay but he shouldn't have waited until Military Personnel are been killed before sending Soldiers.
Let them go there and do professional work shaaa.

But the Military getting involved in farming is what I don't understand clearly. They would be too much fatigue once they get involved in farming ohhhhh...

Dont use style add Benue..You deployed soldiers to Taraba and Nasarawa but ordinary police for Benue

this herms men issue is politically motivated

.

This part of the prophecy down there is about to fulfill because they are going there to protect the fulani..

"Then a group deadlier than
Boko Haram will emerge,
they will seize our farmland,
rape our women, kill our
people and their master will
protect, defend and even
arm them because their sole
agenda is to enslave us
forever. Those who cannot
see it now will soon see it".

Haka mu ke so Buratai! @LionDeLeo fall in

Yes..the response was late..and everyone has raised their voice against it...but now, what is your problem with this development

Medicine after death

its unfortunate that we are being governed by etho-sentimental leaders. I wonder why it took the FG 10days to approve deployment of military personnel to "communal-torn" Benue state. i hope it isn't a disguise to shield mehyetti Allah terrorists camped in Nasarawa.

Igbayi laro,arugbo wo laci. Campaign after election. were they blind since? They just woke up i guess. Yeye Government.

To protect Fulanis and nothing more

yeye people. medicine after death .

Problem there is, he waited for retaliation before doing the needful.

BUHARI IS A DISGRACE. I AM NO LONGER A NIGERIAN CITIZEN IF HE WINS THE NEXT ELECTIONS

By fire by force

Story that touch

Don’t be deceived oohh!!!

Could this be a cover for an impending attack? Na question I ask o?

Waiting for tomorrow news?

It's about time. Hopefully this is actually to checkmate the atrocities committed by those killer herdsmen and not just eye service.
