Declare ‘Killer Fulani Herdsmen’ Criminals, Akinrinade Tells Buhari
A former Chief of Defence Staff, Lt. Gen. Alani Akinrinade (rtd), Wednesday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare any Fulani herdsman involved in banditry, kidnapping and forceful occupation of farm settlements as criminal to absolve himself of allegations that he was encouraging such elements to commit crime nationwide.
Akinrinade yesterday spoke at a public lecture the Government of Lagos State put together to commemorate June 12 as Democracy Day at the LTV Complex, Agidingbi in Ikeja.
Speaking at Agidingbi yesterday, Akinrinade who spoke on, “Democracy and Restoration of True Federalism in Nigeria,” decried the growing cases of insecurity that continued to threaten the unity of Nigeria and the lopsided nature of the country’s federal structure.
Akinrinade who chaired the commemoration lecture, asked President Buhari “to urgently, in tackling pervasive insecurity across the federation, declare any Fulani herdsmen involved in banditry, kidnapping and others as criminals.”
