Some Nigerians in London have staged a protest at Trafalgar Square, a public square in the City of Westminster, over the insecurity and clashes between herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria.
According to Guardian, the protest was convened by Mutual Union of Tivs in the United Kingdom with support from the Nigerian community in the UK.
NAIJ had reported that the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation Americas (NIDOA) urged the federal government to check the activities of armed herdsmen in Nigeria, saying they pose a security threat to the country.
NIDOA, in a statement by Patience Key, Chairperson of NIDO USA and George Nwogu, public relations director, NIDO Americas Board of Trustees, condemned what they termed the needless and mindless killings of innocent Nigerians by armed herdsmen, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
“It is appalling that in spite of the country’s strict gun control laws, persons purported to be herdsmen carry and use military-style assault weapons openly with impunity.”
