Abstract

Many Nigerians have been murdered and several properties worth millions of naira are daily lost to the brutal killings and activities that are linked to the Fulani Herdsmen. Many families have been distabilised and Nigerians are helpless since the current police powers are glaringly insufficient to guarantee the protection of their lives and properties in the wake of these Fulani Herdsmen attacks. This paper critically assessed the history of Fulani herdsmen by looking at how the Fulani herdsmen began to settle in Nigeria. The main objective of this research is to look at the possibility of adopting state police under the criminal Justice System so as to bring an end to the killings and ruinations caused by Fulani Herdsmen. The Methodology adopted in this work is doctrinal since some state laws on anti-grazing activities are explored, empirical and qualitative since contents were analysed. Findings revealed that many calls have been made for private protection from victims of such crisis as government at both the federal and state levels have failed to protect the lives and properties of victims of such attack. This paper strongly recommends that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, be amended to urgently create state Policing in order to ensure a better safety paradigm on lives and properties of Nigerians from not just Fulani Herdsmen attacks but such similar attacks that puts lives and assets into total condemnation. The study concludes that the present Capacity of the combined efforts of the Security Personnel is totally inadequate to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians from Fulani Herdsmen attack.
