Nigeria gives loose cows for surrendering to robbers

Nigeria gives loose cows for surrendering to robbers

Nigeria: Insurgent-like bandits in Nigeria had been presented farm animals through the authorities in change for a gun, in change for 2 cows in change for an AK-47 (Kalashnikov). This is due to the fact farm animals along with cows are very critical on this area.

The reason of this provide is to permit the robbers to return back to the proper route and stay a regular life. It ought to be cited that withinside the northwestern Nigerian kingdom of Zamfara, those robbers maintain to devote incidents through biting on motorcycles. Ordinary residents are fearful of their actions.

Cows and different farm animals are critical on this rural society, even though the robbers encompass herdsmen themselves and say they're sufferers of political revenge, financial inequality and looting. But in those regions the charge of a cow is Rs 45,000 whilst withinside the black marketplace the charge of a Kalashnikov is as much as Rs 300,000.
According to regulation enforcement agencies, the miscreants offered guns through promoting cows and now the authorities desires them to give up once more and take cows in place of one AK-47. These attackers disappear into dense forests after the incident. They rob shops, are worried in kidnappings for ransom, and seize grain. In a latest attack, robbers killed 21 people.

The struggle has been raging for the beyond ten years and has engulfed many components of Nigeria. This consists of shepherds on the only hand and farming tribes at the different.
