Mailafia told us that the insecurity happening in most parts of the north is a planned attempt by the Fulani tribe to subdue all of you by method of brute force. They are using divide and rule tactics and killing innocent people in the east, kidnapping and raping innocent women and ladies in the west, killing off innocent people in Benue, Southern Kaduna and Plateau. The number of people they have killed and maimed in the Niger Delta are uncountable. They are using killers protected for their men in uniform and attacking every state to dominate every state. - From Obadiah Mailafia. Former CBN Deputy Governor
