Actress Calabar Chic kidnapped by herdsmen, freed after 5 days lailasnews 2Nollywood actress and popular social media comedienne, Calabar Chic, who was kidnapped by Fulani herdsmen, has regained freedom after spending 5 days in captivity.Calabar Chic who announced regaining her freedom on Instagram, disclosed that her phones were taken from her.
Here’s what Calabar Chic wrote;

FREEDOM AT LAST!!!! GOD IS THE GREATEST!
My friend and I were Kidnapped since Monday by some merciless heavily armed FULANI HERDSMEN.
The worst few days of my life! (Story for another day) But like I always say, God will never leave nor will he forsake his own.
Thanks to everyone who reached out to my family. Thank you. God bless you.
MEANWHILE I WILL BE OFFLINE FOR SOMETIME AS MY PHONES WERE TAKEN TOO.
I Will be back soon.



Recall that we reported earlier today, that the National Vice President of of Miyetti Allah Cattle Herders Association, Husaini Yusuf Bosso, has issued out a warning to the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom and residents of the state, telling them to expect more violence.
We, the association wrote a letter to him, even met him.
.
We told him that this law cannot work. We told them that there is an international cattle route from Niger to Eastern Nigeria. He said he will not allow cattle to pass through Benue state even if it is the cattle route.
We told him that if he wants to implement that law, he must provide a land for us to rent. He did not provide any land for cattle herders. They have been in that state even before colonial days and co-existing peacefully.
We advised him and he refused to listen to us. We are not against that law but he has to provide a land for these people before implementing such a law. If there is no land, there is a problem.
The civilian Joint Task Force that he introduced are inflicting pain on the Fulani herdsmen. They attack and seize their animals. They drag them to the nearest police station where huge amount of money is collected before they are granted bail. .
This is the cause of this problem. If you attack a cattle herder and collect his cattle, he has no choice but to attack. The law is saying that herdsmen should not pass through the state even if it’s a route to another area. .
In the past , if there was damage by the cattle , we had ways to settle the matter. When you damage a farm, you have to beg the owner , if they refuse, you pay for the damages.
This has worked for us for years till Benue State decided to implement the anti-grazing law. We have challenged the law in court and till court decides which way forward, Ortom will be held responsible for any further bloodshed” he said.
