The Defence Headquarters, Abuja, on Monday, said no troop had been deployed in Benue and other states as recommended by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s committee on herdsmen crisis.


The Defence Director of Information, Brig-Gen John Agim, said the police were on the ground in the states, stressing that the military were the “last line of defence.”


The Osinbajo committee, which was set up by the National Economic Council to find lasting panacea to the killings by herdsmen across the country, recommended increased military presence in Benue and other states affected by the attacks.


But Agim said the decision had not been communicated to the military.


He said, “The report just came out. They (the troops) have not moved in. You will recall that the Federal Government asked the Inspector-General of Police to move into Benue State. I have seen the report that the military are going to be given more roles; but that was just yesterday.


“There is a laid down rule and regulation. The military are the last line of defence. We cannot become the police. It is only when the police go in and they find it difficult that we move in. In a normal situation, the state governor will ask the President, who will take the request to the National Assembly before military is deployed.”

Can you imagine?



But, how come Buhari forgot all these laid down rules and deployed soldiers to kill unarmed protester's in the Eastern part of the country?

wow. The benue state governor had asked for security before now and no one said anything. Osibade kept mute and acted like he did not know.

Exactly why all security portfolios are headed by northern Muslims. See how convenient it is for these elderly Zombies to lie.

Meanwhile the juniors Zombies continue to run around Nairaland hopinng that Osibanjo will succeed Buhari

There are laid down rules that can be used to slow down processes when not in 'their' favour.

They don't want to kill the Fulani terrorists cos they are Buhari's kinsmen.

Useless cowardly army controlled by the Fulani dullard. They always rules when its not in their favour. States should arm their youths and form massive militias. These vermins in uniform won't protect you. Shoot any lanky shabbily looking Fulani frog wielding a stick or weapon on sight. This govenment won't protect u.

But in Nnamdi Kanu's case, the military was the first line of defense.
Fulani herdsmen days as terrorists will be dealt with in due time.
