It is curious that there is a sudden upward spike in the cases of Fulani herdsmen kidnapping and ransacking communities all over the country leaving death and destruction in their wake.

For those that don't forget history, it would be easy to recollect how boko haram started. They started with kidnapping and robberies to fund their group.

Again I ask, is it not curious that Fulani Herdsmen all of a sudden find kidnapping and taking of ransom as a past-time activity?

If you are old enough, you would know kidnapping and demanding for ransom is alien to the Fulani Herdsmen tradition. Yes, you could have clashes with them, BUT they don't go out of their way to kidnap people.

Last year the shocking news of the political sage Olu Falae graced the front pages of our papers and many found it queer that Fulani herdsmen would go into a private property, recognize a political figure and kidnap him for ransom.

This rise in this abnormality can be directly linked to the "technical" defeat of boko haram and their inability to hold territory. Could it be that they are now dispersed as herdsmen in disguise?
Are they trying to use funds from kidnapping to fund their insurgency?
Since when did fulani herdsmen start possessing sophisticated fire arms as we see in recent seizures made by our gallant military?

It is indeed a curious case.

I urge our government not to treat this transition with kid gloves.
It is high time grazing of cattle is restructured and herdsmen registered and given limits.

Yea... I'm beginning to think that this is the next phase of their jihad. Sadly the south is very porous

The truth is- the ones who were able to escape being killed by the Nigerian soldiers are not disguising themselves as herdsmen, trying to escape and feed.

Though, this doesn't mean that the herdsmen weren't inexplicably ruthless and violent, but the flee haram are using the herdsmen's uncanny attitude mask their actions.


So, any Fulani herdsmen shld be treated as bojo haram just as every Northerner was treated so until they started pointing out the culprits and joining the fight.

By the time every herdsmen is considered a feeling bokoharam member and shot on sight, the real ones will start talking.

Sadly the south looks on as these fulani jihadist murder and rape their people,we need a leader to rise and call for reprisal attacks against these wicked souls,this cannot happen in a other african countries,southern nigeria is the weakest part of Africa,its people are so docile n weak.

Lalasticlala what's your take on this issue. Could it be a transition?

Our speculations may just be the truth in the end. We need this investigated

The government should put all the machineries in place now, to put a stop to this.

Reports from Latest Naija News The Assistant Director, Army Public Relations of the Guards Brigade, Capt. Bashir Jajira, said that 36 of the suspects were arrested by the troops at a military checkpoint between the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa State.

The suspected herdsmen were said to have told the soldiers that they were on a mission to recover their stolen cows.

He said that 56 others who were also armed were arrested by the soldiers at a military checkpoint at Dantata, along the Abuja Airport Road.

He said, “A group of 36 herdsmen in Diana Truck and Toyota Camry car with registration number Abu Kuje 994 FX and Niger SUL 541 XA were intercepted and arrested at 177 Guards Battalion location by Keffi checkpoint.

“During the interrogation by troops at the checkpoint, they claimed to be going to Nasarawa Local Government in Nasarawa State.”

After coming back from Saudi, buhari authorised the massacre of the Shiite and then sanctioned the next phase of the agenda using fulani militias. I wonder why people are not seeing the obvious.

you were making sense until you mentioned, that Bokoharam has been technically defeated, then I stopped...

Indeed curious.
When did fulani herdsmen start moving about in cars and such large number with the amount of fire power?

Why is the government so quiet on this menace

So the ediotic fulani started killing people last year? You kids just play politics with everything, those dreaded monsters have been killing for long, enough of your wicked lies.

I am against what sleekmalam said up there and I am against politicizing this issue. I grew up in the north and I am very familiar with the temper of the average fulani herdsman. In my OP I pointed out that what is abnormal is the kind of weapons found with them now and them kidnapping for ransom. This is totally strange. Fulanis don't ask for ransom. They rather kill the perceived enemy.

It is very obvious that Buhari has some hidden agenda to accomplish with his fulani militias. You should be calling Mr presidents attention to the genocide being committed by his people and not make excuses for his body language.

I wish I have the liver to declare war on this Fulanis

You have a point bro.

Hope their elders and the president address this issue on time, before people start getting liver to attack them. When you push a goat the wall... You know the rest
