This news won't bother those in Aso Rock. The enabling environment these terrorists disguised as herdsmen are having is cos they know that the commander in chief is their Big Brother.

I guess they have started as expected. Fulani bandits can't disappoint when it comes to killing and kidnapping.

Ondo no be Benue , they are better be warned.

Besides is this their worst our dear Gov. Aketi talked of?

Sebi na only vat and tamp that are still giving them headache, we will soon slam them with toll fee on their movement.
