Global Terrorism Index: Nigerian Fulani militants named as fourth deadliest terror group in world

Only Boko Haram, Isis, and al-Shabab were deemed deadlier than the little-known militant group from West Africa

The fourth deadliest known terrorist group has been named as the Fulani militant group operating in Nigeria and parts of the Central African Republic.

The little-known group, formed of individuals from the semi-nomadic pastorial ethnic group Fula people existing across several West African nations, has seen a dramatic escalation of its activities in the past year.

In 2013, the Fulani killed around 80 people in total – but by 2014 the group had killed 1,229.
Operating mainly in the middle belt of Nigeria, opposed to the north which is dominated by Boko Haram, the group recorded 847 deaths last year across five states, and has also been knonw to stage attacks in the Central African Republic (CAR), according to the latest report from the Global Terrorism Index.

Little is known about the group, despite the high toll they are inflicting on local civilian populations, but it is supposed the increased instability in CAR and Nigeria - despite some government successes against militant groups - has facilitated the group's expansion.

As much as 92 per cent of their attacks target private citizens, reflecting the group’s primary concern over the ownership of farmland. Each attack claims an average of 11 lives, with the largest known in April 2014 killing as many as 200 people after a group of the militants targeted community leaders and residents during a meeting in central province Zamfara.

In the past year Nigeria has experienced the greatest increase in deaths from terrorism, with 7,512 deaths reported – an increase of over 300 per cent – most of which have been claimed by Boko Haram.

We the sane headed one's r very much aware about that except for the dude heading the country ND his bunch of bigoted zombies as followers

And what right does a foreign body have to label a tribe in another country a terror group?

This is a slap on the face of Nigeria. It doesn't matter if Fulani tribes men carry out attacks but we must know that Fulani is still an ethnic race in Nigeria and therefore, the attacks could be termed an intertribal conflict.
Except the Nigerian Government declares otherwise.

How would it feel if Nigeria helps America to label the crip and blood gang who carry our murder on daily basis a terror group?

They are... Killing more than the number of people that died during civil war. I can't imagine the atrocity this group has committed.

This is a report is coming from an organisation whose country is civilised and not a thirld world country.

My beloved country's government don't believe fulani herdsmen are terrorist even after the killings, rape and hostile take over of peoples land. This people have guns without licenses, other people in Nigeria are getting their guns withdrawn from them so what are they suppose to fight back with when they come intact with the wicked fulani herdsmen, can we say the government of Nigeria supports genocide against it's people? The president has failed to caution them instead they've been encouraged to take their cattles to graze on any farmlands just because they are his tribesmen, the deaths coming from herdsmen is more than 5,000 since buhari's administration.

Should we as a nation declare IPOB that don't kill others as a terrorist group and leave herdsmen out of the equation? Only the government can answer this.

Kalabari ye!..4th.and they are tagged bandits in nigeria.

na wa oo

You lack sense

They are nobody without the backing of Federal government hijacked by Hausafulani elites in high places

Fake news. Ipob is more deadlier than fulani militants.

Shut up !

Global terrorism index is NOT done by America or one particular country.



Fulani militia is not the same as the Fulani ethnic group.


Genocide carried out by the end of Fulani Herdsmen is terrorism and NOT inter-tribal crisis.

When one group numbering about 250 young men fully armed with sophisticated automatic riffles invade your village at 2: 30am shooting anybody at sight, burning your houses and all your belongings and moving their herds of cattle to occupy the village for months and FG army
don't protect your people but rather swiftly move to prevent you from reprisal attacks, do you call this inter-tribal crisis?

How sir?



What die hard Buhari's supporters fail to know is that there can NOT be peace without Justice.

When the FG treat GENOCIDE and other attrocities committed by the Fulani Herdsmen with kid gloves, you embolden them (and OTHER terror groups) to commit further crimes and unfortunately, these supporters can become the victims in future.

Crip and blood dont go about shooting innocent farmers or people in their homes. The week they try doing that, they will be reduced from 500 to 10 in one week.

As deadly as the mafia is, they know better than to walk into the streets and start killing innocent people.

You lack sense

I think I will have sense when they kill just 3 out of your family members. There was this particular person that was an angel. He wanted to sponsor my business. I couldn't believe myself that he travelled to Cyprus the same week he was suppose to make the payment because his parent had to force him to come home (cyprus?) Where they now reside because they killed 2 of his sisters serving in the north ( out 3 children - 2 female, 1 male).

If you don't believe Book haram should be placed 4th. Move to north with your family. In no time, will you be convince.
