Peace reportedly returns to Anambra as Obiano steps into herdsmen crisis

- Governor Obiano's administration resolves tension between herdsmen and farmers in Anambra state

- The government says the timely resolution of the friction followed the governor's directive to security agencies in the state

- Commissioner Don Adinuba blames the herdsmen of not following the laid down rules guiding their operations in the state

Finally, peace may have returned to some communities in Anambra West local government area as the governor of the state, Willie Obiano, has reportedly resolved the crisis between herdsmen and farmers.

Vanguard reports that some persons were killed and others were injured at two farm settlements in Anam, a community in the local government area recently after suspected herdsmen invaded the crop plantations.

The state commissioner for information and public enlightenment, Don Adinuba, said in a statement on Tuesday, April 9, in Awka, that the crisis was over.

The commissioner added that the resolution was swiftly carried out following the directive by Governor Obiano to the state security council members.

According to the commissioner, the security chiefs were directed to find out the immediate and remote causes of the crisis and proffer suggestion to avert similar crisis in the future.

“Following the directive, the commissioner of police, director of the Department of State Service (DSS), commanders of the Army and Naval formations in the state and the commandant of the National Security and Civil Defence Corps, all intervened swiftly leading to end the problem.

“Meaningful discussions were held with leaders of Anam town and those of the herdsmen.

“It was apparent that the crisis was precipitated by the entry of some herdsmen from a neighbouring state into Anambra without following the protocol guiding the conduct of herdsmen in the state,” the statement said.

He added that the suspected herdsmen entered Anam without informing the local leaders of the herdsmen association who would have registered them as members and informed them of the rules of doing cattle business in Anambra state.

“The consequence was that the new entrants violated the rules in a repugnant manner and caused a breach of the peace,” the commissioner said.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
