Anglican Church rejects grazing reserves across Nigeria, warns of ‘civil war’

From Nigeria-

The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has warned the Federal Government to avoid what it described as a possible second civil war, by dismissing the plan to create grazing reserves for Fulani Herdsmen across the country.

The warning was given by the Primate of the Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, while delivering a keynote address, with the theme: “The poverty of riches”, during the third session of the 9th synod of Anglican Bishops in Nigeria, Friday.


According to the church, the intended approach would mean an “unwarranted special preference”, which could only spell evil in time to come.


The church said the plan by the government may be misconceived as making Fulani Herdsmen indigenes of every part of the country.
