However, it’s rather ignorance or stupidity for any Northerner, whether Hausa or Fulani or others to enter any Southern bushes or forest for a so called hunting. The reason is that Nigerians particularly in the South has been crying and protesting against fulani kidnappers. Many people have been victims of Fulani kidnapping daily. To make the matters worse, the Nigerian Government and her murderous Security Forces fade ignorance of the kidnapping activities of the Fulani terrorists and bandits in the South. The result is that every Northerner including the innocent ones has become a prime suspect. Nigerians are already provoked because the Nigerian Government and her Security have abandoned the people to their fate when it comes to security. Even when some of these Fulani kidnappers are apprehended and handed over to the police by the locals, with one call from Abuja, the Police will release the Fulani kidnapper suspect. As a result the people have lost confidence in the Nigerian Security Agencies and have become a law unto themselves. Haven identified these purported Hausas hunters with some of their supposed hunting weapons, the anger and suspicion of the people led to the unfortunate lynching of the men. We therefore, advise the Southern brethren to avoid ethnic profiling and attacks to all Northerners. All the Northerners are not harmful. But those fulani terrorists and kidnappers inside the bushes are a threat to all the indigenous people in Nigeria. Indigenous people of Hausas are facing extermination like indigenous people of Biafra and Indigenous people of Oduduwa.
