Terror at the hands of Fulani herdsmen

Since Monday the 25th day of April, I heard about the brutal killing of Igbo farmers in Enugu, I have this feeling of anger. Since I was a kid, this Fulani matter has been on ground but it wasn't the killing but their cows were destroying peoples crop in the farm.
The idea of slaughtering of people and burning of houses and churches, is an act of wickedness; And my question is, Is there more to this than what we are seeing? Why are they allowed to carry AK47 like our Nigerian police.
In other to protect innocent lives, I suggest that these herds men should return home and keep their cows in their villages, that way we know who is from Nigeria and who is not. A means of identifying them as Nigerians should be provided after this recent killing is resolved. The state government should have a say on weather they should enter his/her state or not, and they should provide evidence of being Nigerian citizens before they enter the state, If this is not working then the government should provide means of storing forage for the cows so that they do not have to move around. If the easterners and southerners are so hungry for meat, they should devise means of importing cows into their state and taking care of them.
The complain of Fulani herdsmen massacring innocent citizens has reached its peak,and drastic measures should be taken to preserve innocent lives. This morning I walked into a discussion on channels TV about this Fulani issue . The guest said the reason we pick our teeth when we eat cow in Nigeria is because the cows are subjected to long distant movement.  I am sure if the cows are kept in an area, the meat will be softer and we may not be needing tooth pick again.
For now the Fulani herdsmen should stay in their villages until Mr president finds a way out of this mess. Human lives are more important than cow meat. Before I forget, Mr president has some cows too and he does not move them around, that means he already has a solution to this problem.

Just pondering,
