Idoma youths, under the auspices of Idoma Youth Assembly, have issued herdsmen resident in Benue South notice to quit.
The youth group said it was giving three-week ultimatum to all herdsmen currently residing in any part of the zone to leave or have themselves to blame.
Patriot Ocheya Patrick Ekre, president of the youth group in a statement said, they would no longer fold their arms and watch herdsmen maim their people, destroy their crops and still walk freely.
The group also faulted the Nigerian government for not doing enough to end the endless killings in Idoma land and Benue State at large.
IYA, therefore, asked all herdsmen resident in Idomaland to vacate before or on April 15 to avoid trouble.
He said, “We’ve carefully observed the role and the body language of the federal governments and it’s quite disheartening to note that they practically failed the electorates of their primary mandate, which is to give them protection.
"......Conclusively, we give all Fulanis herdsmen between now and April 15, 2018 to leave of Idoma land since the government is not ready to protect us from their swords and bullets.
“We are no longer asking Fulani herdsmen not to attack us, but we are giving them final quit notice. We have publicly sounded our warning,” the group added.
