The Middle Belt Renaissance Forum
has vowed to force Fulani herdsmen out from its region at the expiration of the
quit notice on October 1.
The group alleged that the Fulani
herdsmen had caused more damages to the region than good.
Public Relations Officer of the
group told newsmen that the quit notice was not a threat but a “real talk”,
which they would effect “by fire, by force.”
He said, “Fulani herdsmen have
caused the region so much pain, agony and loss; therefore, they must go by
October 1 and if they refuse to leave by that date, the Middle Belt Renaissance
Forum will converge and take a drastic action that would not be palatable to
them. They must leave and if they refuse, we will drive them out by fire, by
force.”
Reacting to the new quit notice
order by youths in the Middle Belt, the Benue State coordinator of MACBAN,
Alhaji Garus Gololo, stated that no one could intimidate herdsmen in any part
of the country.
Gololo said the October 1
ultimatum given to Fulani herdsmen to leave the region was “not only useless
but nonsensical.”
He said, “The quit notice is a
miscarriage of thought and priority. The constitution of Nigeria allows freedom
of movement and living in any part of the country, so we are not going to be
intimidated by the order.”
