WATCH Video Of Suspected Herdsmen Dancing With AK47 Rifles
In the wake of gruesome murder of residents and farmers in several communities by suspected Fulani herdsmen, a video has emerged on the internet where some men, believed to be herdsmen were seen with AK47 rifles and their cows.
In the viral video, about seven men, suspected to be herdsmen were dancing while they were with their cows. This video is coming weeks after a massacre was carried out in Benue State, which left over 73 people dead.
As at the time of filing this report, BlackBox Nigeria is yet to confirm the true identities of the herdsmen in the video as it was recently disclosed that some nomadic herdsmen from neighbouring West African countries have been unleashing mayhem on farmers and residents in their host communities which are along the grazing roots, especially in the Middle-Belt region of the country.
Watch the video below…
The Federal Government is currently proposing what it describes as cattle colonies as a form of ranching to curb these incessant attacks on defenceless Nigerians, even though no perpetrators have been arrested since the attacks started despite the relocation of Inspector General of Police to the State.
So far, while Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state has thrown his weight behind the proposed cattle colony, his counterpart from Benue State, Governor Samuel Ortom has been against it as he recently signed an Anti-Grazing Bill into Law, which prevents open grazing from going on in the State.
