There is nothing that will bring down this govt faster than its lukewarm response to the havoc caused by killer herdsmen.

Instead of effort to get the culprits they are focused on restoring law and order

This is actually the proof that Nigeria needs restructuring

Why should governor ortom a chief security officer have to wait for baba buhari to finish his breakfast lunch and dinner before moving to restore order in his state

There needs to be state police in Nigeria or the centre will not hold

Peradventure all these police in benue, what happens if terrorists decide to strike in adamawa or kaduna

Or bank robbers in Ogun?

If there was state police, fulani herdsmen wont have even started all this because Benue state no open grazing law would have been enforced ab initio by law enforcement apparatus of benue state

Not fulani mafia herdsmen we have now who are protected by fulani commander in chief building railroads to let more fulanis in after kicking ghanaians out

Just to restore order? What about the Fulani perpetrators?

Oh I forgot, the benue guys lives don't matter, and now the police are sent to stop them from mobilising and reacting to the attacks after several calls on them to man up.

The Fulani president has insulted the benue people too far...this is the height of it all. How come it's the inefficient police that is being sent to quell such a full blown crises with lots of lives lost and not the military? Ortom you're a coward and the blood and lives of your kinsmen will be on your hands if you don't take more realistic measures to protect your people.

I'm not against the police being sent to restore order but I have issues with the charge that was given to them. The charge should have included investigating, arresting and prosecuting the perpetrators.

It's issues of joint forces, name it any 'dance' that comes to mind.

If you like send the Chief of Air and Naval staff join, you are going back to Daura come 2019.

That's the mandate that was given to the first set of policemen that were deployed to Benue after the killings (investigate, arrest and prosecute the perpetrators).
The team is led by DIG Joshak Habilla (deputy inspector general in charge of operations) and they've already arrested 8 suspects.

Why Police when soldiers are sent to deal with harmless IPOB members?

Why to restore order and prevent escalation ( aka retliation by Benue Youths) instead of to apprehend the culprits?

This government is the most ethnically biased in history.

Fulani herdsmen has been terrorizing Benue people for decades.

Talking abt lukewarmness, did you know how long it took GEJ to react to the issue of boko Haram or chibok griks kidnapping?

Since Benue people are being killed, has PDP ever thought of moving the IG or even the force there? Check your records Sir

Even if we stretch credulity and say Buhari means well, it is evident that this man is archaic and bent on applying 1980 solutions to 2018 problems and can't do the job.
There are many flashpoints and arenas for Fulani brigandage in Nigeria. Will the IG relocate to all of them ?

You can guess who this threat is directed to.

Definitely not the herdsmen.

Not enough. The military should be deployed and a shoot at sight order should be given. We've been treating the Fulani herdsmen insurgency with kid gloves for too long. It's time to get very serious with them.
