Nasarawa: Crisis Averted Following Poisoning Of Over 150 Fulani Cows

Crisis was averted in Nasarawa State between farmers and Fulani herdsmen in Toto local government area of the state following the poisoning of forage and water sources that led to the death of over 150 cattle.
The emergency security meeting which averted what would have been another round of communal bloodbath was convened by the local council chairman, Mohammed Musa, after a security report that Fulani were mobilising their kinsmen to avenge the killing of their livestock.

Musa maintained that farmers also accused herdsmen of deliberately destroying their farm produce and appealed to both sides to sheath their swords and give peace a chance.
He maintained that government would not spare any individual or group who takes the law into their hands, noting that two committees have been constituted comprising farmers, herdsmen, traditional and religious leaders with a view to sensitising their subjects on the need to give peace a chance. The issues that topped discussion include rape and armed robbery blamed on Fulani youths.
