…2 Abia LGs taken over by killer herdsmen, bandits, Reps tell IGP
The comment by a prominent Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, that herdsmen learned kidnapping from Niger Delta militants, has drawn the ire of people of the region who said the Niger Delta struggle is different from the heart-rending crimes being perpetrated by killer-herdsmen in the country.
Lending his voice to the issue, South South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark lampooned Gumi, saying his statement that Fulani herdsmen and armed bandits learnt how to kidnap from Niger Delta militants was not only criminal, but obnoxious and stupid.
