Something More Dangerous Than Boko Haram Now In Nigeria
Ikechukwu Aduba, former Delta state
police commissioner, has insisted there
is something more dangerous than the
dreaded Boko Haram sect in Nigeria.
The retired police officer raised
alarm over the illegal activities of
Fulani cattle rearers and urged the
man incharge of the country,
President Muhammadu Buhari to
address the situation before it is too
late.
Ex-CP Aduba explained why these
guys are worse than Boko Haram:
“It is a serious issue, more
complicated than the terrorists
activities in the Northeast. Boko
Haram war is a minor issue when
compared with what we are going
to experience in the hands of
Fulani cattle rearers in the nearest
future if the issue is not addressed.
“In some places, especially in Delta
state where I served as the
commissioner of police, many
people cannot go to the farm
anymore for fear of being attacked
in the bush by cattle rearers. Many
women have been raped in front of
their husbands and children. Many
people killed by the cattle rearers.
It is a pathetic situation if cattle eat
up people’s crops in the farm and
the farm owner challenges them, it
is a big problem. If the farm owner
keeps quite, his toil for the year
will be in vain. It is a wearisome
situation.
“The action is affecting agricultural
businesses as communities are
afraid to go to the farm for the
fear that one day, all their labour
for one year will be eaten up in
one day by cattle. If a community
is afraid that their loved may go to
the farm and not return, how do
you expect them to go to the farm
where they may meet their
untimely death? This is a serious
and pathetic situation that is worse
than Boko Haram. They will soon
overrun the entire country.
