Buhari’s handling of herdsmen killings plagued by insincerity, ethnicity, ex-NBA boss

The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) erstwhile president, Joseph Bodunrin Daudu (SAN), has said that President Muhammadu Buhari led government has been insincere and overwhelmed by ethnicity and impunity in handling the issue of killings by Fulani herdsmen in the country.

Daudu stated this when he spoke at an end of year media briefing in Abuja organised by the Rule of Law Development Foundation on the state of the nation.

He said, “Whatever may be the cause, one point is agreed and conceded that government is not doing enough to avert or stem the crisis.

“Government’s actions or inactions are plagued by insincerity, absence of transparency, ethnicity and impunity. The solution lies in collecting and ranching cattle.

“Since the 18th century all over the world, cattle droving became unpopular in favour of ranching. To ranch cattle is a business decision that requires investment. It is not a venture that requires government support for one of the parties in order to establish ranches.

“Ranches are built on land and no individual will donate or otherwise give the rich Fulani herdsmen their land for nothing. Cattle-breeding is a profitable business. The Fulani’s can buy land from individuals and or communities. In.

SARS: Armed robbers’ll be happy – Ex-IG of Police warns against ban

Mike Okiro, a onetime Inspector-General of Police, IGP, has cautioned against the ban of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Okiro said the squad should be rebranded and refocused for effective service delivery rather than being banned. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday, the former IGP said the ban of SARS would lead to more robbery activities. According to Okiro, robbers would be happy at the ban of SARS. “The police management should go to the drawing board and retrain personnel of the SARS as it will be counter-productive to disband them. “You cannot throw away the baby with the bath water, if they have deviated from what they were established for they should be retrained and refocused,“he said. “Armed robbers will be happy that there is no more SARS in the country but are Nigerians ready for that, “he said.

On the debt profile of the state government, Edevbie said: "About N100 billion are owed contractors.
