President Mohammadu Buhari at the weekend said the clashes between herders and farmers around the country are largely due to unrest in neighbouring Libya and Mali from where weapons and militants have found their way into the country.

The President who was represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the graduation ceremony of Senior Executive Course (SEC) 38 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, near Jos, said there was evidence to show the infiltration of militants into the folds of Nigerian herders, adding that militants running away with light and heavy arms from the troubled countries had settled among Nigerian herders but warned that criminal violence in whatever form would not be tolerated.

The National Institute, which was meant to graduate 67 participants during the ceremony, announced that one of its participants, Hajia Maimuna Abdullahi, a permanent secretary from Niger State, had died on Thursday.
The Acting Director-General of the Institute, Jonathan Juma who disclosed this at the graduation ceremony, said that the deceased would be awarded the ‘mni’ posthumously.

He said the theme of SEC 38, which is Strengthening Institutional Mechanism for Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Development in Nigeria, gave the participants opportunity to undertake study tours to 12 states in Nigeria and six countries within and outside Africa.

I still can understand the stupiditý and irresponsibility that oozes out of aso rock these days honestly. You roll out the military against Shiites, against Niger Delta, against Biafra activists but you look for every dang reason to protect the herdsmen just because Buhari is grand patron of Miyetti Allah (the herdsmen association in Nigeria).

Miyetti Allah through their chairman have repeatedly claimed responsibility for the carnage perpetrated by their members in different parts of the country from the north to south, they never once claimed it was done by Libyans. A responsive govt would have invited this group of people for questioning instead what we have and hear on a regular basis are that men of our armed forces have intercepted cattle rustlers but they never once intercept the herdsmen who have sacked entire villages this year alone are now settled there eg in southern Kaduna. God will save us from this ethnic and dangerous bigot called Buhari and his puppet called Osinbajo
