Killer-herdsmen should be killed – Rep

FULANI HERDSMAN

A member of the House of Representatives, Mr Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, has called on the people of Southern Nigeria not to spare the lives of Fulani herdsmen who kill in their domain, describing them as another face of Boko Haram.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lawmaker who represents Ikpoba Okhai/Egor federal constituency of Edo State, said: “In as much as we believe in one Nigeria, no part of the country must see itself as superior to others. These herdsmen killing our people are not ghosts. They always go unpunished, which is bad. So, I am telling our people that anytime they come to your community and kill, catch them and retaliate, if that will solve the problem.Look at how they wasted the lives of innocent people in Enugu State and they have not stopped there, they went to Benue. Even in Edo State, they destroy our farms and kill our people. I think enough is enough.”
The lawmaker who spoke, weekend, at a town hall meeting he organised for members of his constituency, also distributed bags of rice, sewing machines, industrial grinding machines and motorcycles to women and youths in his constituency.
He urged the private sector to assist government in the provision of skill acquisition and training centres so as to curb unemployment among youths.
He said he decided to provide the empowerment items to cushion the effect of the prevailing economic hardship on his people
