Herdsmen Attacks In Nigeria

The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore says it will resist any attempt to evict herdsmen from any part of Nigeria, particularly in the southwest region of the country.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa gave the advice while playing host to the national president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Reverand Samson Ayokunle.

Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom has described the recent comments of his Bauchi counterpart, Bala Mohammed, concerning the herdsmen crisis, as disappointing.

Ex-Kaduna lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has advised northern governors to share the allegedly evicted 4,000 herdsmen from Southern Nigeria among themselves.

A farmer identified as Lanre and a member of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria were both killed some armed herdsmen on Wednesday, February 10, in Owo LGA, Ondo.

The Nigeria Governors Forum's latest resolution on the matter was contained in a communique signed by its chairman and Ekiti state governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
