The Christian Association of Nigeria, Taraba state chapter, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to give attention to the Fulani herdsmen issue terrorising farmers across the country in the same way terrorist groups such as the Boko Haram sect are tackled.
This call was made by Reverend Ben Uber, the Taraba state chairman of CAN, in his Ne Year’s message  to the press.
He expressed that tackling the issue would enable farmers to heed the president’s call to go back to the farms. 
Decrying the recent killings of farmers in some parts of Taraba and Kaduna States, Rev. Ubeh, who is the General Overseer of Christ Glorious Army Church, said the problem of herdsmen and farmers across the country deserves urgent and decisive action from the federal government. 
“I call on the federal government to tackle the issue of herdsmen and farmers’ clashes across the country. Just a few days ago, herdsmen attacked a village in Ardo Kola Local Government Area of Taraba State and destroyed the whole village. 
“The same way Sabon-gida Takai and Dan-Anacha villages in Gassol Local Government Area of the state also came under attack by herdsmen some days before Christmas, killing scores of people, while thousands were displaced,” he said.
The clergyman equally lamented the ongoing killings in Kaduna by herdsmen despite the 24-hour curfew imposed on the area, but expressed optimism that the country will come out of it stronger, This Day reports.
“We have to thank God for what the federal government has achieved in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency in 2016. I call on security agents to collaborate to be able to tackle all forms of terrorism in the country, especially the problem of herdsmen and farmers across the country,” The CAN president said.
