Violent herdsmen may have link with Boko Haram----Buratai
Buratai who spoke during a courtesy call on Governor
Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, said that the Nigerian Army was investigating
the activities of the violent herdsmen.
Buratai identified timely information on the nefarious
activities of the herdsmen as one of the best ways to tackle them, saying
Nigerians must be security conscious at all times.
"We want to call on all Nigerians to be security
conscious and to report any suspicious persons or group of people that are
roaming about in their communities. One may not be too far from the fact that
some of these herdsmen that are attacking communities across the country may
have some affiliation with the Boko Haram terrorists.
"This we are further investigating and also pursuing
them so that we can address the situation, so let's be security conscious.
Let's report quickly movement of suspicious persons carrying arms.
"If you suspect any individual within your community,
we should be able to report immediately. Timely information is very important.
We have our troops deployed in certain areas and I believe the Police are
working with them to be able to tackle any challenge that comes, "he said.
Amosun commended the Nigerian Army for restoring peace in
the North East."We want to commend their effort because we know that
before now, we all know what the Boko Haram has turned Nigeria into, but for
their effort, they have restored sanity.
“The Nigerian Army has shown us that they are more than
capable by bringing back the dignity of the Nigerian Army and the entire Nigerians,
"Amosun said.
