    Take note everyone, Burutai is strategiising to save cows not humans by targeting cattle rustlers and do absolutely nothing to killers of innocent women and children taken unawares in their own home and brutally murdered.
    Nigeria must be the only nation on earth where the brief of the commanding officer is to protect cattle not humans. God help Nigeria.
