The Presidency on Monday said “thousands of” herdsmen are being tried and convicted across the country for illegal activities.
The Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, said this on Channel Television’s Sunrise Daily. He refuted reports that President Buhari was taking a soft approach to herdsmen crisis based on ethnic affiliations.
“I hope that the police will take responsibility and publish the full list of Fulani herders who are undergoing trial in various states, particularly in Benue State. Trials are going on, convictions are being made and the President cannot be complicit in the kind of things that are being said of him,” he said.
