Ikechukwu
Aduba, former Delta state police commissioner, has insisted there is something
more dangerous than the dreaded Boko Haram sect in Nigeria
The retired police officer raised
alarm over the illegal activities of Fulani cattle rearers and urged the man
incharge of the country, President Muhammadu Buhari to address the situation
before it is too late.
Ex-CP Aduba explained why these guys
are worse than Boko Haram:
“It is a serious issue, more
complicated than the terrorists activities in the Northeast. Boko Haram war is
a minor issue when compared with what we are going to experience in the hands
of Fulani cattle rearers in the nearest future if the issue is not addressed.
“In some places, especially in Delta
state where I served as the commissioner of police, many people cannot go to
the farm anymore for fear of being attacked in the bush by cattle rearers. Many
women have been raped in front of their husbands and children. Many people
killed by the cattle rearers. It is a pathetic situation if cattle eat up
people’s crops in the farm and the farm owner challenges them, it is a big
problem. If the farm owner keeps quite, his toil for the year will be in vain.
It is a wearisome situation.
“The action is affecting agricultural
businesses as communities are afraid to go to the farm for the fear that one
day, all their labour for one year will be eaten up in one day by cattle. If a
community is afraid that their loved may go to the farm and not return, how do
you expect them to go to the farm where they may meet their untimely death?
This is a serious and pathetic situation that is worse than Boko Haram. They
will soon overrun the entire country.
“I want to advice that President
Muhammadu Buhari and the National Assembly should constitute a committee that
would look into the issue. My suggestion is that the cattle rearers should be
confined in gracing reserves and ranches. They should be made to stay in a
particular area and not to wander from place to place.
“If you look at it critically, we
don’t eat beef more than other countries of the world. We don’t have cow more
than other countries. We don’t export cow, yet in the countries that even
export cow, there is absolute peace because they don’t take their cattle to
places that they are not supposed to take them. The Nigerian government should
take a decisive stands on the matter or the keg of gun powder will explode and
the government will now not be able to tackle the menace of the cattle
rearers.”
The
retired police officer raised alarm over the illegal activities of
Fulani cattle rearers and urged the man incharge of the country,
President Muhammadu Buhari to address the situation before it is too
late.
