The Federal Government has assured Nigerians in all parts of the
country that it will not condone further attacks by herdsmen.
Minister of Interior, Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Dambazau
(rtd), gave the assurance on Monday at a meeting with some state
governors in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He told the meeting that President Muhammadu Buhari remains
committed to ensuring peace in every part of the country.
State governors present are Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna), Abubakar
Bello (Niger), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Darius Ishaku (Taraba), and
Mohammad Jibrilla (Adamawa) among others.
The Minister of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh, who was also at the
meeting, was worried about the increasing clashes between herdsmen
and farmers.
He, however, blamed criminally minded persons for taking the
advantage of conflicts between farmers and herdsmen to cause mayhem
in the country.
Mr Ogbeh also faulted the past administration for having done
nothing to protect the interest of herdsmen.
He further revealed the Federal Government’s plan to establish
cattle colonies to be protected by cattle rangers, as well as
provide water, pasture and security for such colonies.
