States with law enforcement Marshals in the north who are harassing people with impunity, like Kaduna (Kato da Gora), Kano ( Hissbah), Zamfara etc. Why are other states exceptional when it comes to implementing such too?

A Makurdi High Court has issued an interim order restraining the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, from prohibiting or shutting down offices of the Benue State Livestock Guards in any part of the state.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Austine Ityonyiman, in his ruling on Thursday also restrained the Benue State Commissioner of Police, Okon Ene, from preventing officers of the Livestock Guards from carrying out their legitimate functions pending the determination of the motion on notice brought before the court.

According to the judge, the guards were implementing the state Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law.

The Judge granted the motion brought by the Counsel to the Benue State Government, Mr Douglas Pepe, who prayed the Court to restrain the Nigerian Police whom he stated where acting outside the scope of their constitutional mandate.

Mr Pepe had argued that the Livestock Guards was a creation of the law and the body was carrying out its functions as stipulated by the legislation establishing it.

After listening to the argument of counsel to the Benue State Government, and carefully perusing through the affidavit in support of the motion, the Judge was convinced that there was a need to grant the application pending the determination of the motion on notice.

The Judge thereafter adjourned the case to November 23, 2018, for the hearing of the motion.

Reacting to the restraining order, the Benue State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barrister Michael Gusa, said the Samuel Ortom administration is operating based on the rule of law, and due process.

He expressed surprise that the police whose duty is to help the government to enforce laws were seeking to proscribe a law legitimately enacted by a state.

Gusa reaffirmed the determination of the State Government not to be discouraged in pursuing what is in the interest of people of the State.

So the IGP actually wanted to proscribe the Livestock Guards while leaving their tormentors - the marauding herdsmen.

Livestock Guards, aka Legalized Criminals. More like state backed cattle rustlers.

You don't get it, do you? What do you know about these "livestock guards"? Let me tell you: you assembled hundreds of youths and gave them uniforms. The only work they do from morning till night is to be on the watch and look out, no any other work that fetch them money. But the state government that gave them this "job" didn't pay them, owing them as much as 12 months salary. What do you think they would become? Armed robbers, killers, livestocks/cattle rustlers. And they have to kill herdsmen before they can rustle their cattle. So, chill!

Do you have sense at all ?

When you give youth this kind of "job" without paying them their peanuts as at when due, you're breeding legalized criminals because they wouldn't be eating sands. Benue "livestock gurads" are confirmed state-backed murderers and rustlers no matter how much you tried to spin it.
