INSECURITY: Be Extra Vigilant Over Fulani Herdsmen Threat, Says President BSM

By The9JaTrend

Benin Solidarity Movement (BSM) worldwide has called on residence of Edo and Delta States to be extra vigilant over the letter written by Fulani herdsmen threatening to unleash terror in Delta State and Governor Okowa particularly for hosting the meeting of 17 Southern Governors where the decision not to make land available for grazing in the Southern States was taken.

In a press statement issued and signed by the President of the Movement, Elder Curtis Eghosa Ugbo said what they have succeeded done by that threat letter is to keep us (Delta and Edo States) on red alert. Being neighbours anything that affects Delta State will surely be duplicated in Edo State. 

Elder Ugbo call on the law enforcement agencies to spread their dragnet so as to get to the root of how the letter came about and also advice the people of Delta State and Governor Okowa not to just throw the threat to the dustbin on the excuse that all is well and nothing of such can happen.

He advised that such threat should not be handled with kids gloves because they have shown on several occasions that the criminality embedded in their system has no limit.

"Events in some other parts of the country has shown that no threat is minor when the Fulani herdsmen/hoodlums are involved. Their issue should not be handled with kids gloves. They have shown on several occasions that the criminality embedded in their system has no limit.

"As a result of this, we advice all and sundry across the two states to goid their loins and see how we can humble these beasts in human flesh.

"They should be told that they don't have monopoly of violence and these weapons (arms, ammunition, bows, arrows, battle axes, charms etc) that they brandish every where they go are in large supplies to many other people elsewhere. We should not let down our flanks. The motto we should adapt is "be prepared."

"A word as they say is enough for the wise. Nothing should be left to chance. We should be extra vigilant. God forbid that our generation to come would blame us for been lackadaisical when the Fulani herdsmen illiterates came calling at our doorsteps.

"An injury to one is an injury to all; they will be resisted fully," he assured.
