My client,is a herdsman,takes his cattle round the countryside to graze since there is more rain down south there's of course more succulent green grass for his cattle.
He goes down south with some of his brothers and cattle to graze armed with merely daggers( for attack from wild animals/thieves),then soon afterwards his cattled was rustled,at times even community heads connive with their evil people to seize our cows with the excuse that they trampled on their farmland.Big lie!!! Some communities even made it a business venture to accuse us then seize our cows.Some of my brothers were killed in the suffle.
Unlike you people in the south,my client doesn't use social media and doesn't have the propaganda tools of Punch/vanguard et al.So they were left to suffer in silence.Until....let's just say they started watch a few American cowboy movies and how they coped with cattle rustlers
As for those labelling them as boko haram,its quite illogical, because any group on the retreat will most like do so their stronghold or which southern nigeria isn't.
RIP to the dead and I hope the relevant authorities bring order.
