Mansur Manu Soro, during plenary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Presenting the motion, Soro informed the House that the violent confrontation, which occurred last Wednesday, resulted in deaths, injuries and extensive destruction of property, leaving many residents displaced.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said, \u201cThe House notes the sad occurrence last week Wednesday, of a violent clash between farmers and herders in Lanzai and nearby Dosho communities that resulted in the loss of nine human lives, injuries to residents, destruction of property and the burning of approximately fifty residential huts and other means of livelihood.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lawmaker expressed concern over the humanitarian impact of the incident, noting that many affected families had been forced from their homes and exposed to harsh living conditions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmakers observed that the violence had \u201cdisplaced numerous families, exposed vulnerable persons comprising women, children and the elderly to severe humanitarian conditions and heightened tension among affected communities.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The House also decried the recurring nature of farmers-herders conflicts across the country, warning that the persistent clashes continue to threaten national security, agricultural productivity and economic development.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Members noted that the violence \u201ccontinues to undermine national security, agricultural productivity and economic development,\u201d stressing the need for decisive intervention to prevent further loss of lives.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Consequently, the House urged the Inspector-General of Police to deploy adequate investigative and intelligence resources to the affected communities with a view to identifying, apprehending and prosecuting all those involved in the violence.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lawmakers also called on the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) to strengthen intelligence gathering, threat assessment and early warning operations in the area.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The House specifically urged the DSS to \u201cIntensify intelligence gathering, threat assessment and early warning operations in the area to prevent further attacks and reprisals.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In response to the humanitarian crisis occasioned by the clash, the House appealed to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) to provide immediate relief materials, temporary shelter, food supplies, medical assistance and psychosocial support to affected residents.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lawmakers further urged the Federal Government, through the NEDC, to support the reconstruction of homes, community infrastructure and livelihoods destroyed during the violence.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">To tackle the underlying causes of the recurring conflict, the House called on the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to accelerate the implementation of sustainable livestock management policies, ranching programmes, grazing control measures and dispute resolution mechanisms.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The House subsequently mandated its Committees on Police Affairs, National Security and Intelligence, Emergency and Disaster Preparedness, and the North-East Development Commission to monitor compliance with its resolutions and report back within six weeks.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Farmers-herders clashes remain one of Nigeria\u2019s most persistent security and development challenges. The conflicts, often driven by disputes over land use, grazing routes and access to water resources, have led to significant loss of lives and property across several states. Experts have repeatedly warned that without sustainable solutions and effective law enforcement, the recurring violence could further threaten food security, social stability and economic growth in affected communities.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses The House of Representatives on Wednesday called for a thorough investigation into the recent farmers-herders clash in Lanzai and neighbouring Dosho communities in Darazo Local Government Area&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":127524,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-127523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
