A north-central group, the Middle Belt Patriots has rejected a new directive by the federal government for the creation of grazing areas for herders in Benue, Kaduna, Kwara and other states in the region.
According to the group, yielding to such demands would worsen the security situation in the Middle Belt region and other parts of the country. But in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Strategic Communications, Steven Kefas, the Middle Belt Patriots wondered how the federal government “constantly panders to the interests of the pastoralists at the detriment and displacement of the indigenous populations whose lands and lives are being overrun by the armed ethnic militias affiliated with the herders”.
“This provocative and ill-advised order shows a shocking disregard for the already tenuous security situation in the Middle Belt region that has been under sustained violent attack by armed Fulani ethnic militias.
