He emphasised that ranching remained the only solution to the Fulani herdsmen and farmers’ clash.
Bishop Ezeokafor, who stated this yesterday in Awka during the 2018 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Mass at St. Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral, said, “killings in Benue State needed Operation Python Dance and Crocodile Smile put together.” The cleric added that deploying the officers and men of the Nigeria Police to the troubled state may not yield the desired result.
He challenged the Nigeria security agents to apply similar measures used in unmasking those behind the killings of over 20 worshippers on New Year’s Eve in Omoku, Rivers State, in fishing out those behind the Benue massacre.
Bishop Ezeokafor wondered, “why the Federal Government should even deploy police to tackle such heinous act which he said left so many people dead.” He said he expected them to apply the same measure used in tackling South East and South South, even as he accused them of treating Benue’s issue with kid gloves.
The Catholic Prelate called for urgent renegotiation of Nigeria, noting that going by the current situation of things in the country, Nigeria deserved to be renegotiated even as he said the states should be allowed to take charge of her Mineral Resources to enable them to develop at their own pace.

When Igbos were being killed by Buhari, many laughed and rejoiced, now. Now it's Benue people turn, and soon it will be your turn. May anyone supporting this evil know nothing but pain and sorrow till the end of their miserable lives. Amen.
ReplyDeleteWell done your Lordship.
ReplyDeleteIPOB had nor arms, but they termed them terrorist and sent soldiers to come n harass us in Abia state. I still can't forget what soldiers did to civilians on the 4th abi 5th of September last year.
I agree!
ReplyDeleteWell said
ReplyDeleteThis is shithole leadership at play...
DeleteThe clergy was on point! We're not in war neither is Nigeria battle but while these killings?
Selfish leaders appointing dead people and I'm sure Obituary will soon be used for 2019 Election Campaigns.
Shitholes, asshole even Shalanga leaders.
SKY...
Well said!
ReplyDeleteSo right, they should even add more if there is
ReplyDeleteWell said my Lord.
ReplyDeleteI am really worried like other well meaning Nigerians on the spate at which innocent/ harmless Nigerians including children are being killed in different states of the Federation by people claimed to be herdsmen.
What is then running through my mind ?
Is there the possibility of Boko Haram members taking to nomadic pastoralism in disguise with a view to continue their onslaught and we are here saying that Boko haram has been "technically defeated" and calling them Fulani herdsmen . This is because of the rate at which the attack is spreading and the sophisticated weapons at their disposal. How did they get the weapons- AK47 etc
I think there is an urgent need for FG to use all its security apparatus to demystify this "cancer" before it is too late.
True talk!
ReplyDeleteWell said Bishop. What the people of Benue and middle belt region need now is Operation Cattle Dance... God save us.
