Anglican Church Urges Buhari To Immediately Disarm Fulani Herdsmen
Following the wave of attacks and killings of harmless farmers in the country, the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has called on the Federal Government to urgently disarm all Fulani herdsmen ravaging the country.
This was contained in a communiqué issued on Sunday by Bishop Rev. Duke Akamisoko after the second session of the third synod held at St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral, Kubwa in Abuja.
The church also enjoined the Christian Association of Nigeria to map out strategies on how to curb the killings of Christians in the country.

Akamisoko said, “The Synod notes with dismay the prevalent attacks on farming communities by Fulani herdsmen in different parts of the country and demand that more decisive actions should be taken by the government to disarm the herdsmen to stem the rising wave of attacks and killings of harmless farmers as this is inimical to its desire to diversify our economy through agriculture.”
