The attacks on some parts of Northern states of the country by Fulani herdsmen might be coming to an end soon. This is because, reliable sources have disclosed that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has set up a committee to resolve the lingering clashes between Fulani herdsmen and farmers in some parts of the country. The committee is headed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of operations.

President-General, Miyetti Allah, the umbrella body of the herdsmen, and three other members of the body were included in the committee, while president and executive members of Farmers’ Association of Nigeria are also members.

Community leaders of the affected areas in Benue, Plateau, Taraba and Zamfara, some of the states affected by the clashes, also make the list.

The committee followed an interactive meeting between the Inspector-General and the leadership of Miyetti Allah at the Force Headquarters on Thursday.

The essence of the meeting was to find an alternative dispute resolution mechanism geared towards finding a lasting solution to the lingering crises.
