The OurMumuDonDo Movement has called on the federal government to immediately declare armed herdsmen as terrorists.
In a statement read to the press during a peaceful protest at the Federal Ministry of Justice, the group said:
“According to the Global Terrorism Index, these killer herdsmen are the deadliest in Nigeria; deadlier than Book Haram, and at a point, was declared the fourth deadliest in the world. Available statistics show that more than 900 innocent lives have been lost so far in 2018 to the unprovoked, brutish attacks of killer herdsmen in the Middle Belt zone of the country alone.
“We are demanding that the Federal Government takes immediate step to invoke section 2(1)(c) of the Terrorism Prevention Act, against killer herdsmen.”
Receiving the protesters was the Acting Director, General Services in the Ministry of Justice, Mrs Lola Uket. She promised to convey their message to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, through the office of the Solicitor-General of the Federation.
Mrs. Uket further assured them of a formal response from the office of the AGF in due course.
