Herders’ agenda occupation, not grazing

We read in several newspapers including The Nation and Tribune of May 19, 2018, a publication credited to Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore in which they declared that no state has the power to stop their members from open grazing.
They also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to call the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, to order over the Anti-Open Grazing Law. We want to put it on record that the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore and other groups who signed the communiqué upon which the report is based are nothing but terrorist groups that have sworn to annex and occupy the Benue Valley and other fertile lands in Nigeria at all cost. In several reports in the national dailies the next day including The Nation newspaper of Wednesday, May 31, 2017 on page 41 “the group argued that they are the original inhabitants of Benue Valley, thus, the lingering crisis was a struggle for the state’s natural resources.”
The newspaper quoted the association as vowing to mobilize herdsmen in the country and beyond to invade and take over the state and that is what has been happening with renewed vigor since January 1, 2018. They are using the antiquated and primitive campaign for open grazing as a smokescreen for their deadly agenda for ethnic cleansing, annihilation and occupation. We shall mobilize all victims of herders’ attacks across the country to stop this devilish plan, regain control of the conquered territories and drive out the herders to Senegal which is their ancestral home. Our major target will be their sponsors wherever they are. Comrade Timothy Hembaor, President General, Tiv Youths Organization
