Former Governor of Plateau State and Senator representing Plateau North Senatorial District at the National Assembly,Jonah Jang has urged the Federal Government to send killer Fulani herdsmen out of the Nigeria.

Jang, who made the call on Monday during an interview with journalists in Jos said every country must be ready to accommodate its indigenous herdsmen and not use the free movement provided by ECOWAS to invade the country and create problems.

He expressed worries over the unabated killings in Plateau State and other parts of the country especially in the Middle Belt and called on the Federal Government to take drastic actions to curtail the excesses of the herdsmen whom he said were hell bent on achieving their sole aim of occupying Nigerian lands.

His words: “Government has to take some drastic actions. These people are not Nigerians; they are coming from somewhere. I am now over 70 years, and I didn’t see these kinds of Fulani herdsmen growing up. The Nigerian herdsmen I used to know carried sticks to control their cows, not sophisticated guns, killing people at will.

“So I believe that these people are not really herdsmen; they are coming to accomplish a purpose, which is to try to occupy lands. And unfortunately, the present administration doesn’t seem to be up and doing about it, and it gives me a lot of suspicion.

“We used to have a way of settling our differences with the Fulani men that lived amongst us in the past without even going to court. But these ones that are carrying guns and killing people should never be allowed to be part of Nigeria. They should be sent back to where they come from.”
