“The killings must be stopped, they have gone too far. This is not the time to apportion blames, but to seek solutions. What are the security agencies doing and when will these killings stop? We must challenge the leaders with one voice, the issues must not be looked at with the prisms of religion or ethnicity.

“We pray not to get to the level of Afghanistan where everybody is bearing arms, but you can’t label Miyetti Allah as a terrorist organisation. It has never sat down to discuss how to kill innocent people and take over their land. The Fulani (herdsmen) don’t care about electricity, roads or the government because they live in the bush.

“We refuse to accept that all Fulani are bad. The crisis in Benue is not a religious or ethnic problem but an economic one. It is a fight between herdsmen and farmers and unless the government takes it seriously, it may get out of hand.”

• The Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar, on the security agencies’ handling of the killings by herdsmen in Benue State. That was on Thursday in Abuja at the 1st General Assembly of Inter-faith Dialogue forum with the theme, ‘Living together, achieving together.’

Mad man....

Ok oh. I expected this to have come earlier. A call for justice for all victims. Fulani or Tiv, or Bachamas its red Nigerian blood being spilled. It is just unacceptable!

Smoke screen from an accomplice

better late than never

"We pray not to get to the level of Afghanistan where everybody is bearing arms, but you can’t label Miyetti Allah as a terrorist organisation."


Already dictating to security forces what they must, and must not do!

‘Living together, achieving together.’

Lol. To achieve Fulani brutality?
Isn't that ironic


All these closet terrorists sef.

I thought he initially said the silence of Fulani is not an act of cowardice.

Fulani militia herdsmen are terrorists. There's no argument about that. And if he's serious let him ask buhari to sit up to his duties as the C in C without being bias.
