As the menace of Fulani herdsmen attacks on Benue State residents continues, the House of Representatives has moved to curb the evil.
The House of Representatives
The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a resolution calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the immediate disarmament of armed and strange herdsmen in Buruku and other parts of Benue State.
ThisDay reports that this move followed a motion sponsored by Hon. Emmanuel Yisa Orkerjev (Buruku, APC) and 10 other house members condemning recent killings and wanton destruction of property by marauding herdmen in the state.
After an exhaustive debate on the motion, the House, which was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Yusuf Sulaimon Lasun, unanimously resolved to further invite all heads of security agencies and service chiefs to explain measures so far taken to put an end to the crisis.
