It is instructive that the Global Terrorism Index 2015 had reported that Fulani herdsmen remained the fourth most deadly terrorist group in the world! Herdsmen forcefully and indiscriminately allowing their cattle to graze cultivated farmlands and other peoples’ sweat by destroying valuable crops. Any attempt to stop the herdsmen from illegal incursions often results into killing, raping, destroying farmlands as well as sacking whole communities. The government would douse the tension in the land by discouraging open grazing and confining all itinerant herdsmen to established ranches. It is only hoped that those fanning the embers of discord and disunity through the deadly herdsmen attacks would be curtailed without further delay.
