Security agents have been issued presidential order to arrest and illegal bearers of arms.

The directive was sequel to Thursday’s National Security Council meeting attended by President Muhammadu Buhari, Defence Minister Monsur Dan-Ali and the service chiefs.

Giving an update on the meeting on his Twitter handle yesterday, Buhari said his government was “stepping up our efforts to tackle the proliferation of small arms and light weapons across the country.”

“The security agencies already have standing instructions to arrest and prosecute anyone found with illegal arms,” he added.

Sights of Fulani herdsmen going about with AK 47 and reports of their wanton killings of Nigerians have sparked outrage across the land.

Benue State recently buried 73 victims of such attacks, followed by Taraba State where scores of people were also killed.

Buhari’s government has been widely criticised for looking the other way while herdsmen went on the rampage.

However, the Minister of Defence, Dan-Ali, emerging from Thursday’s NSC meeting, told reporters that the killings in parts of the country could not be blamed solely on herdsmen, because according to him, “there are also militias who also carry arms.”

He added: “Some people were caught with arms and they call themselves Forest Guards or whatever with AK47.

“There is nowhere in this country where arms are allowed to be carried apart from legitimate security forces.

So, anybody carrying any arm is doing so illegally.”

Cool..


Check my siggy

What a joke. So the Police will start arresting Fulani Cattle hearders who openly carry around their AK 47's?

Who is fooling who?

It is one thing to go and shoot unarmed IPOB members in the name of "Python Dance"

It is another to go and try to arrest herdsmen with AK47's in the name of a presidential order

Sending Police or Soldiers against an unarmed group is easy

Sending Soldiers or police against an armed group such as Fulani herdsmen, that one is different story, a story we shall never hear about because it will never happen.

Easier said than done....looks good on paper tho.



Well Let's See how it goes .

Disarm the Christian Ethnic Self Defense groups so that Fulani herdsmen terrorists can overrun them with ease.

Nonsense talk. Declare operation cattle dance against fulani herdsmen.

While the herdsmen have boldly roamed around with their arms while security agencies turn a blind eye to them!

because he know his campaign strategy to blackmail PMB is heavily hinged on the recent killings and that is about to be stopped. Which means he has very little to campaign with.
Where were they when the herdsmen killed his people in their people in their ancestral home? They were not this noisy because election was not around the corner at that time.

But while this is a good move and I applaud it, I hope the IG and his men will carry out this order irrespective of carries the illegal weapon.

Tying the arms of Benue people so they can't defend themselves against future herdsmen attacks, while government keeps romancing with the killers.
