SIR: Yes, I fully support President Buhari on his vow to deal ruthlessly with all perpetrators of violence in Rivers State! All lovers of peace and security must rally round our President to stop violence and wanton killings by criminals in all parts of Nigeria!

But permit me to remind President Buhari that he should also deal ruthlessly with the Fulani herdsmen who allegedly killed over 300 citizens of Agatu in Benue State and destroyed multimillion naira farms of the Federal Polytechnic Ado Ekiti in Ekiti State!

The Fulani cattle rearers appear too audacious, murderous and blood-thirsty in many parts of Nigeria! All these criminal acts must stop now in the national interest!
Kunle Rotimi,
Lagos.
