FIRST SET OF FULANI HERDSMEN ARRESTED IN BENUE

The issue of nomadic cattle breeders of the Fulani stock destroying farmer's crops is not new, it has bedevilled the Food Basket State for ages. But never has Benue State experienced this kind of destruction, massacre and carnage from the now heavily armed herdsmen who invade communities unannounced leaving behind death and destruction of properties that cannot be quantifiable.

The hue and cry of the innocent, helpless seemed to have fall on deaf ears as the killer herdsmen operated for long periods of time without real or positive intervention from the authorities. The lackadaisical attitude displayed by the authorities have led majority of the Benue citizens into concluding that the government of the day is hostile against them, making the ruling party of the State, APC, very unpopular ahead of the 2019 elections.

However, in a dramatic turn of events, the Nigerian Police Force in Benue State seemed to have woken up from their state of deniability. News monitored online has it that the Police have made arrests!

In her effort to tackle herdsmen/farmers clashes in the State and to ensure that criminals face the wrath of the law, the Benue state police command received report on Saturday 22/04/2017 that herdsmen destroyed cassava crops and inflicted matchet injuries on a farmer ,one Dennis Nongu in Logo LGA. 

The policemen in Logo swiftly responded and arrested two herdsmen namely; Ado Yila and Halti Tambaya both male in connection with the crime. They would soon be charged to court
