Herdsmen who go about armed with guns and cause violence should be treated as terrorists- Sultan of Sokoto says

Following the various attacks by suspected herdsmen in some parts of the country, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, today said suspected Fulani herdsmen who go about armed with guns and causing violence in some parts of the country are not Nigerians and should be treated as terrorists. The monarch said this in his Eid el-Kabir message to the Muslim.

“They are therefore terrorists and should be treated as such by the Nigerian security agencies. The Nigerian herdsmen are very peace-loving and law abiding” he said.
