Nigerians in the United Kingdom, on Monday, staged a protest against the killings by the suspected Fulani herdsmen in various parts of Nigeria, especially in Benue State, at the Trafalgar Square, London. The protesters holding placards with different inscriptions like “Nigerian Government stop your silence on Fulani herdsmen,” “Stop killing Nigerians, Enough is Enough,” expressed disappointment on the silence of the Nigerian government. “These highly armed herdsmen pose terrorist threats to all law-abiding unarmed Nigerians and they must not be allowed to carry on unchecked. The government should disarm all armed herdsmen as they have no right to carry sophisticated weapons in the guise of shepherding cattle. “We strongly condemn these barbaric acts of violence by these reckless armed herdsmen and urge the perpetrators of these heinous acts to be brought to book and face justice.
