Let it be clear to all: the widespread acts of brigandage by the herdsmen pose a clear and present threat to the Nigeria and its people. In Enugu State, Fulani herdsmen murdered 46 persons, razed 11 houses and a church in the villages within the Ukpabi-Nimbo community, despite a prior awareness by the state government and the security agencies. Alas, Buhari’s response, or more correctly, non-response, to the criminality of these Fulani herdsmen has raised questions that are many and befuddling. After all, Buhari once led a delegation to protest to the then Governor Lam Adesina what he considered, erroneously though, the ill-treatment of Fulani herdsmen in Oyo State. There is certainly a clear and present danger in the land.
