The umbrella body of herdsmen in Nigeria, Miyetti Allah, has debunked insinuations President Muhammadu Buhari is protecting them, insisting that their welfare has become worse since the President came to power.
Not a few Nigerians will agree with Miyetti Allah’s submission but the group’s National Secretary, Saleh Alhassan, said instead of enjoying under his watch, herdsmen were being marginalised in the country under the leadership of President Buhari.
The issue of herders is occupying the front burner in the polity after the Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and Yoruba freedom fighter Sunday Igboho gave the herdsmen the marching order.

Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Customs and Excise, Senator Francis Fadahunsi, has said it is hard for the Nigerian Customs to stop smuggling activities in land borders because it doesn’t have enough man power to tackle those behind the nefarious activities.
Fadahunsi, who retired as a Deputy Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service, alleged that some retired military, police and paramilitary officers are behind the ongoing smuggling activities at the nation’s land borders.
He lamented that the NCS lacked the capacity to tackle the smuggling criminals whom he said were sabotaging the nation’s development efforts.
