The coalition of Middle Belt youths, under the aegis of the Middle Belt Renaissance Forum, had asked herdsmen to vacate the region before October 1, 2017.

In a statement signed by the group’s convener, Jones Alfa, the youths had warned that there would be dire consequences if the order was not obeyed.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of Middle Belt Renaissance Forum, Jerry Ochada, on Friday said the group would force the Fulani herdsmen to vacate the region at the expiration of the quit notice on October 1.

Ochada, who spoke to one of our correspondents on the telephone, said the quit notice was not a threat but a “real talk”, which they would effect “by fire, by force.”

He said, “Fulani herdsmen have caused the region so much pain, agony and loss; therefore, they must go by October 1 and if they refuse to leave by that date, the Middle Belt Renaissance Forum will converge and take a drastic action that would not be palatable to them.”

When asked what manner of action the group planned to take if they (herdsmen) do not leave, Ochada added, “They must leave and if they refuse, we will drive them out by fire, by force.”
