The Presidency has revealed the position of President
Muhammadu Buhari on the issue of killer herdsmen in the country.
Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi
Adesina said the president’s position is that those found with arms unlawfully
should be arrested and prosecuted.
Adesina disclosed this while responding to a question from
Seun Okinbaloye on Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today.
According to Adesina: “If the governor would say he has not
heard the president speak on that matter that is what he should make clear,
it’s not that the president has not spoken.
“Because a number of times the president has spoken on that
issue and his position has always been the same, anybody who carries arms
unlawfully should be arrested and prosecuted. The president has said it
countless times and that is the position.
“No matter who he is or wherever he comes from criminality
is criminality, anybody bearing arms unlawfully must be arrested, prosecuted
and that is the position of the president.”
This is coming at a time when the Benue State Governor,
Samuel Ortom had said he petitioned Buhari on the activities of killer
herdsmen.
Ortom had stated this while calling for the arrest of
Miyetti Allah leaders.
