VERY VERY NECESSARY AND URGENT! WE CAN'T ALLOW BLOOD SUCKING Fulani MUSLIMS TO DO NONSENSE IN ABIA STATE AND GET AWAY WITH IT. ABIA HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY SHOULD IT INTO LAW ASAP! THEY CAN KILL IN BENUE, KADUNA, ENUGU AND ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE THEIR KILLING HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED IN THE NAME OF ONE SATANIC NIGERIA. THEY DO ANY HOW AND SEE ANY HOW. OH HOW I LOVE THE WAY ABA PAY HAUSA MUSLIMS 5 EYES FOR 1 EYE

Well done Abia,other south eastern states should promptly follow suit

The Fayose way is best way to tackle this abnormality.

Libyan herdsmen must be tamed by fire.

Vikings5900:

Myndd44 do justice to this guy.

They should go further in enpowering Abians with the knowledge of rearing cows in the zero grazing way.

They need to be tamed, you can't go around killing people and destroying properties because you want to feed cows and expect to be welcomed,let them either stick to the laws of the state or go back to libya where they came from

Good move

Oshokomoleism - The foundation for cost-effective and result-oriented preemptive measures against violence and tyrannical bestiality.

Nice move governor!!!

Good....I trust my amiable governor.

It takes the boldness of an Afonja to wake up the slumbering Yanmiris to do the needful. I hope this will not end up as a chest beating game or money sharing venture. Some people like money than their brothers.
