The Christian body said that such strange faces should be made to leave the zone.

CAN said “All the people without identity, who are flooding the zone should be stopped by immigration and other law enforcement agencies.

“Also, suspected foreign herders and the killer herdsmen are asked to leave the zone immediately. Most of such foreign and killer herders have been identified in some parts of the zone.”

It commended Governors in the region for steps taken so far towards addressing activities of killer herdsmen..

CAN, however, pointed out that “the local government chairmen, traditional rulers, President-Generals, (PGs) and councilors are living in the urban areas, thereby abandoning the villagers to their fate.
