Mansur Dan Ali Calls For Suspension Of Grazing Law by ugo4u: 8:42pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
Abuja – Against the backdrop of severe security challenges facing the nation particularly herdsmen killings and kidnapping by bandits, Defence Minister, Mansur Muhammad Dan Ali has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to approve the establishment of a Special Security Task Force for Zamfara and Birnin Gwari axis. Mansur Dan Ali also said there was to reduce tension in Benue and Taraba States by suspending the implementation of the Anti-Open Grazing Law while also negotiating safe routes for the herders. The minister who made the recommendations at the Security Council meeting held at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday disclosed that the special security outfit will be similar to Operation Safe Haven in Jos. The minister also disclosed that in continuation of military operations to clear Boko Haram insurgents from the Lake Chad Basin area, the Multinational Joint Task Force has rescued 296 hostages from the terrorists hideouts in Lake Chad fringes. A statement by Colonel Tukur Gusau, Spokesman of the Defence Minister entitled ‘Minister of Defence Intervention at the Security Council Meeting held at the state House, Abuja on 5th June 2018’ said, “The minister drew the attention of the council to the incessant killings and kidnappings by armed bandits and criminal activities across the North West which is becoming alarming and worrisome “He mentioned the Abuja-Kaduna expressway as a source of concern as there were still recorded incidences of kidnappings within the period under review. “He also stated that the upsurge in incidents of security concern in Zamfara state is quite disturbing and calls for more robust approach to tackling the threat. “The situation is characterized with killings and kidnappings by armed bandits and criminal elements predominantly in Anka, Maru, Kaura Namoda and Talata Mafara LGAs of the state. “In the North Central, the incidents of herdsmen-farmers clashes in Benue and Taraba states have reduced considerably. Several arrests have been made in connection with the killings and destruction of properties by own troops in conjunction with other security agencies. “While in the North East, the Boko Haram terrorist’s activities have been contained as there is significant improvement in security situation in the zone. “The Nigerian Army has launched ‘Operation Last Hold’ to flush out the insurgents from their hideouts in the Lake Child Basin and free the communities to enable IDPs to return to their homes. The operation is to last till end of August 20, 2018. “Similarly, the MNJTF is currently engaged in Operation to dislodge Boko Haram terrorists in the fringes between Niger Republic and Nigeria. The Task Force has so far dislodged the insurgents from Arege, Kangarwa, Metele and few other Islands on the Lake Chad. “So far, 296 persons have been rescued and are undergoing profiling. The number is envisaged to increase as troops intensify clearance operations. “In the South-South and South West, the situation of illegal oil bunkering, militancy, pipeline vandalism is on a decline in Niger delta following the effort of the federal government to engage stakeholders in dialogue. “Similarly, Operation Awatse has continued to dislodge militants and pipeline vandals from Arepo and other areas in Lagos and Ogun states. “The council was also informed by the minister that the United States conveyed to the government of Nigeria information about the implementation of countering America’s Adversaries through sanctions Acts Section 231. “It is pertinent to state that the award of contract for the procurement of the Mi-35 helicopters was completed before the act was signed into law in August 2017. “In conclusion, the minister suggested to the council the need for Defence Headquarters to launch a Joint Task Force operation similar to Operation Safe Haven in Jos to cover Zamfara and Birnin Gwari axis of Kaduna state with headquarters in Gusau, Zamfara state. “The need to employ other channels with the affected states to reduce tension by suspending the implementation of the anti-open grazing law while also negotiating safe routes for the herders. “The urgent need for the Nigerian Police and DSS to prosecute all the suspects arrested in the states. “The need to hasten the establishment of a National Commission on the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons in Nigeria. “The need to engage diplomatic channels to ensure US sanctions does not affect Nigeria.” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/06/defence-minister-call-suspension-grazing-law/ 1 Like

We now know where the problem lies. Borno state government is busy demolishing hotels/ bet9ja shops allover the state and no one is complaining, Kano state government is running a parallel constitution yet no one bats an eyelid, now Benue sets up a law to protect her citizens and FG is hellbent on arm twisting them. From alleged move to convert Chiefdoms in southern kaduna to Emirates down to establishment of Cattle route/suspension of grazing law(for libyans)in Benue, all I can say is Benue and middle beltans, una good morning. MUMURIC will not see this anomaly. Moreover na husband and wife matter wetin concern me..Ndi Ara 204 Likes 14 Shares |

This call may encourage those who do not like a law legitimately set up to resort to violence to arm twist the government into rescinding it. The simple solution is to let those aggrieved challenge it in law courts or through lobbying their compatriots. Government should not be seen as being awed. My 2 cents. 11 Likes 1 Share |

The wicked despicable govt keeps implicating itself all the time , just yesterday they accused the Benue Livestock guards of being behind the killings and even mischieviously charged some of them the court and now they are claiming the it's the anti grazing law that is causing the tension ...My question for the blind minister of defense is " the chicken and the egg ,who came first? Likewise the The herdsmen killing and the anti grazing law , which came first? Was it not the the uncontrollable herdsmen killings that necessitated the anti grazing bill in the first place ? .. well by now every reasonable person should know those backing the killer herdsmen .. 63 Likes 6 Shares |

When T.Y Danjuma said the army was conniving (taking sides) with the killers killing (and raping) innocent people, they said it was a lie. Now what further investigation does the world need, to know that this is true. People brazingly violate the country's laws (by killing people) and instead of bringing them to book, you suggest that new laws that should keep them from killing should be suspended. How can we even begin to accommodate the insult on all Nigerians, even those who do not live in herdsmen affected areas? 67 Likes 6 Shares |
Re: Mansur Dan Ali Calls For Suspension Of Grazing Law by coolscott(m): 10:38pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
Well, before the law was created, it went through a thorough law-making process within Benue state, effected by the members of the house of assembly of that state. For a law to be changed, the process for changing and/or modifying a law will have to be followed (if the people of the state see the need to). So do these people feel that we are living in the Federal Kingdom of Nigeria as opposed to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where laws can appear and disappear (or get suspended) on the irresponsible whims of people whose whims should not matter in the first place? 17 Likes 1 Share |

The Defence Minister has no power to do this. This is a law passed by State Assemblies and they are well in their right to do so The Anti-Grazing law is only an extension of protection of the lives and properties of Nigerians guaranteed by the Nigeria constitution If the Defence Minister want to challenge this section of the constitution he should sponsor a bill to NASS and ask for the law guaranteeing the security of Nigerians to be repealed! 19 Likes 1 Share |

Ladies and gentlemen This is the consequence of one single point of view in the National Security Council. The views of trespassing Fulani herdsmen/Libyans has become the number 1 priority of Nigeria’s security chiefs. This is why we warned when Buhari was appointing only his kinsmen to top security offices. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

...and those that attended the security meeting at Aso rock are; 1. Muhammad Buhari 2. Mansur Dan Ali 3. Ibrahim Idris 4. Muhammad Babagana Monguno 5. Ahmed Abubakar 6. Lawal Daura ..their recommendation; suspend a legally enacted law to appease the Fulani herdsmen.....In order words, the above mentioned m.orons have inadvertently implied that they are incompetent for they cannot protect citizens they swore to protect, rather the law has to be bent to comply with the wishes of the murderers! Nigeria is indeed a weird country, how else can one explain the fact that the 6 characters mentioned above are products of quota system, yet they are our very best (according to Buhari) that sit in a security meeting to superintend over our security affairs??

I guess "Anti Open Grazing Law" was also the cause of fulani herdsmen attacks in Enugu, Edo, Delta, Plateau, Zamfara, Southern Kaduna, Niger, Nassarawa, Oyo, Ondo, Ebonyi, Kogi and many others. HAVE IT AT THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THAT THOSE CALLING FOR THE SUSPENSION OF GRAZING LAWS PROPERLY INSTITUTED BY SOME STATES GOVT ARE THE SPONSORS OF THE GENOCIDE CURRENTLY GOING ON IN MIDDLE BELT! I said it several times and I will say it again, VICTIMS OF FULANI HERDSMEN ATTACK MUST ORGANIZE THEMSELVES AND DRAG BUHARI TO ICC IN 2019. HE MUST PAY FOR THE LIVES LOST TO HIS TERRORIST BROTHERS!
