I am disturbed by the merciless killing, raping and taking over of people’s lands by the herdsmen in the country and the seeming inaction of the Federal Government in taming their activities.
Having said that, let me at least applaud President Muhammadu Buhari for setting up a seven-man panel of inquiry to look into the recent massacre of the people of Moor community in Kwande Local Government Area of Benue State.
However, the alleged failure of the 93 battalion of the Nigerian Army in Takum, Taraba State, in preventing the herdsmen from massacaring the people of Kwande should be investigated. If the military is found guilty after the investigation, the officers involved should not go unpunished.
Nevertheless, for the very first time under the present administration in the country, the president is beginning to pay attention to the malevolent activities of the Fulani herdsmen.
The president should do the needful and ensure that the people of Kwande get justice.
