Chairman of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Prof. Ango Abdullahi has cried out.

He said; “We have heard in the few hours ago that some violence had already started to manifest in some sections of the country against the herdsmen.”

“But then, if there is no certainty that their safety is guaranteed by the authorities that are immediately around them or by the authorities that have responsibility for the overall security of all Nigerians wherever they reside, we are certainly worried about their wellbeing.”

“If it is indeed true that their safety is not guaranteed in the places where they are residing, we would rather have them back into areas where their safety is guaranteed, and they should be coming back as much as possible to the North.”
