However, the monarch said that it was wrong to label all Fulani criminals or use ‘Fulanis herdsmen criminal’ to explain developments.

The Sultan of Sokoto, HRH Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, has said seven to eight out of every ten kidnappers arrested in Nigeria are Fulani.

According to the Nation, Abubakar disclosed this on Friday in Abuja at a meeting of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association (MACBAN).

However, the monarch said that it was wrong to label all Fulani criminals or use ‘Fulanis herdsmen criminal’ to explain developments because of the misdeeds of some of them.

He said, “I am a Fulani, and I am not a bad man. I am also not a criminal. Those engaged in one forms of crimes or another are across the country. It is not proper to refer to any tribe to describe individuals' crime.

“For example, when they collected N10m, where and how do you spend this amount in the bush? The money is back in the city. I have told the Inspector General of police to check this; we are not saying Fulanis are not part of the kidnappings as mentioned by the Secretary of Miyetti Allah, seven to eight kidnappers arrested are Fulanis, but that doesn’t mean ever Fulani is a criminal, no they are not.

“We must put hands together to bring an end to this problem. We are going to approach the President to talk to our West African neighbours where we have Fulanis like Senegal, Niger Republic Guinea and Mali, to help us because most of these bandit cross from neighbouring countries conducted their criminal act and run back.”

The meeting comes in the wake of tensions, especially across the South-West states which many have attributed to criminal Fulani herdsmen.

A Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, had given Fulanis in the Ibarapa axis of Oyo State an ultimatum to leave following allegations of criminality.

Videos shared on social media showed Igboho holding a well-attended rally where he swore to drive out Fulani herdsmen from the entire Yorubaland for causing insecurity and banditry.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State also issued a quit notice to all herdsmen to vacate government reserve forests in the state.

We already know that. When ND militants were kidnapping whites and expatriates to drive home their point, the inferior folks up north were strategizing on how to kidnap southerners as their own expatriates.

Unfortunate

Nigeria is in precipice.

The North will never relinquish power in 2023.

The South will revolt and that will be the beginning of the end

This statistics is enough

8 out of 10....and you don't want us to make a mathematical conclusion?

Maybe the Sultan should explain in Arabic what the figure means.

All these stories is just an indictment on the uselessness of our politicians, just a meeting of a citizen with a seriki and the whole fulani hierarchy is confessing,
Useless selfish sob's that deserve to open calabash so we can have peace

From my own observations, 9 out of 10 kidnappers across the country are Fulanis.

Ok

Nigeriajs have had enough of this forced one-ness, we need to go our separate ways.

And the people should not expect the politicians to do it. Those ones don't really care about you or any kind of nationalism.

Let's organise ourselves and strongly agitate for separation, before these people kill everyone with Boko Haram and tribal conquest agenda.

This is what buhari body odour has caused
It isn't so before buhari come to power

I see all the Fulani kidnappers amongst the arrested being freed, I see the ones from other parts of Nigeria being prosecuted. This I have seen.

Since their brother is the one in charge, weytin again you expect from them??
Naa to terrorize the area freely ni.

But even as a Northerner, I can bet my girlfriend say them know their boundary sha.. East!!!

Self confession.This still confirm and reaffirm the known fact-killer fulanis are the terrorists across this nation.GTI were never wrong in alloting them the 4th global deadly terrorist group.

"Who ever tries to make justification and put up a defense for pure evil is also evil!"

Let's leave aside tribal sentiments and deal with the statistics, isn't it obvious what the root cause of security challenges in this country is?
Not all fulani's are criminals yes we agree but by statistical evidence even admitted by the Sultan, Most of the Fulani's are criminals.

Those who refuse to evolve or adapt to change will become extinct, the world has gone past the era of nomadic lifestyle. If the Fulani race refuse to adapt to modern methods, sooner or later they'll be forced to or become extinct.

Another obvious but salient truth is that, these fulani's use the ransoms collected from their kidnapping spree to further fund terrorism, they might just be the foot soldiers of Boko Haram.
I read here in Nairaland last week where two factions of Fulani bandits where fighting over an anti-aircraft gun worth 5 million Naira!
How can common bandits possess such weapons and you say they shouldn't be classified as terrorists?

I've lost so many clients from outside the country that want to come purchase lands and invest in agriculture in Nigeria, because of this same fulani killings and kidnappings. They're afraid for their lives and that of their investments.

These herders should purchase lands like every other business owner because its a Private business as well as pay taxes. Most of these guys don't even pay tax.
Government do not purchase land for anyone else or any business,so why make an exception for a whole tribe?

They're doing more havoc than the value they bring to our society.

Until we learn to leave political, religious and ethnic sentiments aside, this country will NEVER develop.

Nothing lasts for ever, power is always transient.

It's so unfortunate that the North has yet to realize that the seed they're sowing now (banditry, Almajiri etc) will be their undoing very soon.

God Help Nigeria
God Help Nigerians!

Sultan is spilling Taqiya as an Islamic Terrorist


7-8/10 are Fulani, so which one is not all fulani are Terrorists, have the non Terrorists ever fished out the acclaimed Terrorists.

This your act of shielding and suppressing these Terrorists is it different from what the so called non Fulani Terrorists are doing

Fact

Arrest killer Fulani herdsmen now...
No need to pander

Remember Buhari will go some day...
