| Cattle Headsmen |
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has expressed
dismay over the continuous attacks on many Nigerian communities by Fulani
herdsmen, warning that the herdsmen were becoming more deadly than Boko Haram.
This was contained in a communique
issued after a meeting by the CAN, South-East zone in Enugu, the Christian body
said it was high time the government took decisive action towards curtailing
the scourge of the Fulani herdsmen.
On the recent killing of hundreds of
villagers in Agatu, Benue State, the South East CAN said it was surprised that
the herdsmen were murderously attacking communities with AK47 rifles while
security agencies looked the other way.
President of CAN in the zone, Most Rev. Prof.David Eberechukwu and the National chairman, Christian Enlightenment andWelfare Organisation (CEWO), Dr. Ajujungwa Joseph, who signed the resolution,
said the question in the lips of Nigerians had remained “where do the herdsmen
get AK47 guns they carry and does it mean that both the police and the Army are
not seeing them?”
