Reps ask FG to close Nigerian borders to illegal herdsmen
The House of Representatives has urged the federal government to end the entry of illegal herdsmen into Nigeria from other African Countries.
Moving the motion, Elumelu said the attacks allegedly carried out by herdsmen are affecting agricultural activities, which he said will threaten food security in the country. “Those herdsmen who are militant in nature have consistently instilled fear in the lives of local farmers and villagers living in the affected areas by the use of coercion, intimidation, brute force and extreme violence, in most cases, leaving a large number of persons dead.”
“The violent conflicts between the nomadic herders from neighbouring countries and local farmers is escalating by the day to more states of the federation, and if left unchecked will further threaten the security and stability of the nation.“The clashes are becoming potentially as dangerous as the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East, yet to date, response to the crisis at both the federal and state levels has been very poor and ineffective.
