The military has expressed fears that attacks by Fulani herdsmen on host communities could assume the dimension of Boko Haram insurgency if not checked.
The Head, Defence Headquarters Committee on Persistent Clashes between Herdsmen and Farmers, Maj. Gen. Edward Nze expressed this concern during a courtesy visit to the Acting Governor of Benue State, Benson Abounu at the Government House in Makurdi.
Nze later told newsmen that the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Abayomi Olonishakin, was worried that the activities of herdsmen have become a threat to national security.
He added that his committee would be proceeding to Enugu State after assessing the Benue situation.
