The Fulani herdsmen are afterall not invincible as I had thought earlier on. It has been reported that some youths from Agatu in Benue state crossed over into Nassarawa state and killed 20 Fulani herdsmen and 83 cows in an attack that was suspected to be a reprisal for the killings of over 300 Agatu tribes people in Benue.
This doesn’t have to happen if the government have played its role as the chief security agent of the country but instead it has been busy politicising the killings by Fulani herdsmen.
I fear we are now seeing the beginning of a new trend in reprisal attacks on the Fulanis for every evil act they take and this should not see the light of the day in a country where there is law and order.
A signal has been sent all over the nation that the best way to deal with the Fulani is to attack them back once they come attacking. It is high time that the government steps up its bid to provide adequate ranches for the Fulanis if they want to put a definite end to these incessant killings of innocent Nigerian souls.
I pray for the peace of Nigeria.
