Are you sure it’s not from that Plateau factory the Fulanis herdsmen and other bandits get their weapons?

Trust no one in this country!

Floky215:



Rubbish as usual...they are simply disarming the natives of the little arms they are making to defend themselves from the fulani marauders...!!

Fulani uses Ak 47 assault rifles, gmpg and rpg, they should go into the bush and collect those ones then we can take them serious...!!
Nonsense...!!!
