.NigeriaGov Should Use Article 4 Of ECOWAS Laws To Combat Killer Herdsmen — Falana-led Coalition | Sahara Reporters ...gives Nigeria permission to apply domestic laws to deal with the menace of trans-border criminality traced to armed herders READ MORE:

The Alliance on Surviving COVID-19 and Beyond has urged the Nigerian government to leverage Article 4 of the ECOWAS Free Movement Laws to combat the influx of killer herdsmen into the country.

He had said: “ECOWAS Protocol allows trans-human movement between all the ECOWAS countries. That is why we are thinking of seriously reviewing the ECOWAS Protocols in that respect. What we find out today is that a lot of criminalities have been introduced through the herdsmen and trans-human.” “Specifically, the Act states that the importation of any animal, animal products or biologics into Nigeria from any other country by land, sea or air is prohibited except under a permit granted by the Director who in each case shall state the conditions under which the animal, hatching eggs or poultry may be imported.

“Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of the Firearms Act is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a minimum sentence of ten years or five years imprisonment depending on the provision breached.” “Contrary to the Federal Government’s claim, the bane of Nigeria’s problem is the ostensive lack of enforcement of extant laws. It is the height of dereliction of duty to allow ‘foreign criminal herdsmen and bandits’ to invade farmlands, destroy livelihoods, kidnap, maim and kill citizens unchecked while also crippling the country’s fragile economy.
