The National President of the Middle Belt Forum, MBF, Dr. Bitrus Pogu has said there no truth in the claim by the presidency that criminal herdsmen were being arrested and tried across the country.
Speaking to Vanguard in Makurdi, Dr. Pogu said, “what we know is that there are some instances in Zanfara state where some of these people were apprehended as kidnappers.
“It has been in the news. But beyond the Zamfara case which is about kidnappers, throughout the Middle Belt when they were massacring people in Benue, Niger and other places we do not have any record of anyone apprehended over the years.
