The Northern Governor’s Forum, NGF, says that
most of the Herdsmen that cause crisis across the country are illegal
immigrants from Mali and Senegal. Chairman of the Forum and governor of Borno
state, Kashim Shettima, disclosed this after a meeting the forum had in Kaduna
state yesterday January 25th.
He said that efforts are now been made to work
with agencies to register Fulani herdsmen from other countries that intend to
come into the country to rear their cattle.
“We also mapped out new
strategies that would be used by the local Fulani herdsmen to rear their cattle
without having to move across the country” he said
The Chairman emphasised the need for every Nigerian to see
security as his or her business, pointing out that the nation would remain backward
if there was no peace.
