Bwatiye Community Condemns Killing of 5 year Old Baby

-
Daily Rendezvous 
The serene environment of Kodomti village has been disrupted by the news of a brutal and heinous attack of the killing of a woman's daughter near Kodomti by a Fulani herder.

The woman, an indigene of Kodomti, who was on her way to Numan was attacked by  the herder who stabbed the daughter to death and inflicted severe injuries on the woman severing her left arm in the process.

The woman who was later found unconscious along with her dead baby by Passers-by was quickly rushed to Numan General Hospital.

This dastardly act was only a reminder of an ugly past and hatred stirred by incessant attacks on Bwatiye communities.

This circle of violence must be stopped through genuine solutions which we believe our traditional leaders must spearhead in our relationship with herders. 

The contemptuous and provocative behaviour in grazing practices where herders decide the extend their grazing limits must be reviewed in line with our traditional practices, where herders seek the understanding of their host Communities before moving in to graze. The herders and their host Communities must work as partners and drive their interests in sync with trends in traditional arable farming and local demography, to do otherwise will be to fan the  embers of hatred. 

The space available for our livelihood is not growing and is being challenged by human activity and nature. We must therefore act to control insidious activities that are threats to all concerned. Bad as the situation was, the quick intervention by Hama Bachama, Homun, Dr Daniel Shaga Ismaila (Kpawo Nomwe Gilongo Diya), restrained his subjects against taking the law into their hands. 

Pene Da Bwatiye Development Association, appreciates His Majesty, State Governor, Brigade Commander and the Commissioner of Police for the immediate deployment of the State's security architecture which helped to sway and prevent vengeful reactions.

However, we call on the State government to reconsider its Technical Committee Report of June 2020, set up, after the 2017 Farmers/Herders clashes.

The implementation of the recommendations of the
Committee which borders on the relationship and channels of communication would go along way in resolving similar conflicts.
