Violent herdsmen should be treatred are terrorist - Sultan of Sokoto

As a result of numerious attacks by suspected herdsmen across the country, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, today stated that suspected Fulani herdsmen who go about armed with guns and causing violence in some parts of the country are not Nigerians and should be treated as terrorists.
He said this in his Eid el-Kabir message to the Muslim.

    “They are therefore terrorists and should be treated as such by the Nigerian security agencies. The Nigerian herdsmen are very peace-loving and law abiding” he said.
