Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed on Friday claimed that Nigerians of Yoruba and Igbo extraction are the real beneficiaries of banditry in the country.

The governor also insisted that bandits terrorising the North are not Fulanis, claiming that there are Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa who are the real beneficiaries of the illicit trade.

The governor, who stated this on Friday while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, said: “These bandits are not only Fulanis.

“In fact, they are terrorising the Fulanis but they have Fulani miscreants within them; they have Hausa, they have Igbo suppliers; they have Yoruba. They’re people really benefitting from the illicit trade.”

Mohammed, who came under fire for saying Fulani herdsmen carry AK-47 for self-defense, also said he has not changed his mind on his comment that herders have no option but to carry AK-47 for self-defence because they are being attacked and killed by cattle rustlers.

“I have not changed my opinion on the issue; I was not defending herdsmen,” he said.

Governor Mohammed also stated that Nigerians don’t need the permission of any governor to reside anywhere in the country.

He said, “Land is in the hands of the state and federal governments in trust but Nigerians don’t need the permission of governors or the federal government to settle everywhere. You don’t need the permission of the governor of Bauchi or the governor of Ondo to be in the forests of Ondo if you choose to live in the forests because under Section 41 of the constitution, you are free to settle anywhere.”

Jonzin Governor

WTF! What a senseless, stupid and irresponsible statement.So I sponsored bandits/terrorists to kidnap on my behalf? Governor Bala Mohammed is mad.The earlier we separate from the backward thinking brutes the better for us.Gush!

Foolish at it peak !

Hear this again.

We have been saying it, that the earlier we part country with these people, the better. Our ways are not the same at all.

One Fulani governor said the bandits had no choice than to become bandits after their cows are stolen, another said they need AK-47 for self-defense and that they don't need the governor's permission to live in the bushes...now, are these bushes not part of some people's geographical identity? Can I just drag my ass to a bush in Kano or Zanfara and pitch my tent there unless I'm a terrorist? These guys are truly evil and don't deserve to share space with any decent human!

If I come to your compound to settle hope you will allow me because Naija constitution gave me the right to settle anywhere abi?

Jonzin Governor

The governor has always been PDP since the days of Jonathan.

The governor is Just a special type of stupid.

He keeps Quoting section 41 of the Nigerian constitution but refused to point to the part that states anyone in Nigeria can occupy a property or any land illegally.

Is it not why State goverment issue a certificate of occupancy.

Uw say wetin?

Be talking nonsense.

being In the same country with this useless fellow is really painful

He has to say what he has to say to shield the evil his tribesmen perpetuate.

My worries is why are there no southern governor that can stand up and talk like this in protection of his own tribesmen?

Why can't there be a southern governor bold enough to talk tough to the Fulani terrorists? At least some of the governors are done with their second tenures, why can't they grow some minor balls and say the minds of the citizens?

I think the drugs given to him to cure the covid 19 he had is disturbing him. Who still wonder why we are not moving forward?

It can only come from a northern leader afterall he's their brother. Apathetic man. I'm ashamed of the people who voted him as governor.

I almost started shedding tears with this comment honestly.

This man is the most useless and clueleness human being av seen in my life.

I make bold to say that Bala Mohammed is one of the sponsors of banditry in Nigeria. His comments so depict

This man seems to have a hand in these evils...
He's crying a lot.

The same Bala Mohammed was the minister of FCT under Jonathan administration. He was signing Certificate of Occupancy in that capacity like every other governor of other Nigerian states.

Is certificate of occupancy, right of occupancy and land allocation document not permit given by govt to Nigerians and foreigners to occupy a location in Nigerian states or FCT legally?

How ironic is that statement: “Land is in the hands of the state and federal governments in trust but Nigerians don’t need the permission of governors or the federal government to settle everywhere. You don’t need the permission of the governor of Bauchi or the governor of Ondo to be in the forests of Ondo if you choose to live in the forests because under Section 41 of the constitution, you are free to settle anywhere.”

That is dishonest and misrepresentation of facts by a former FCT minister and governor.
