Killer Fulani herdsmen have been urged by the Benue State House of Assembly to henceforth face treason. This is even as the House called on the Federal Government to immediately arrest and charge the Secretary General of Miyyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Mr Sale Alhassan for treason.
This follows the passage of the Open Grazing Prohibition Bill on May 4.
Reports say the leadership of the Miyetti Allah Association were accused of inciting its members against the law even after 12 people were killed by the opposition on May 7 which renewed fears among Benue indigenes.
Reacting to the incident, the lawmakers, reportedly called for stiffer penalties
“As for now, this is not the time for anybody to rise up in any way and incite by saying we are going to mobilise against people; it is highly inciting and I think it is a treasonable felony.”
“The Assembly calls on the Inspector General of Police to immediately effect the arrest of Sani Hassan and Abdulahi Bello for treasonable utterances capable of causing crisis in the state.”
