-
“I stayed in Enugu in the mid-1990s and I interacted with Igbos and learnt their ways, we are not like them.” He claims the Igbo man will attend school and complete his university education only to end up unemployed, and then find himself working in a restaurant as a waiter. “The Fulani herdsman will never do that. We will not stoop down that low. We will fight”.

Malam Ilia made it clear the major reason for the kidnapping. He pointed to lack of equitable source of living, not unemployment. “What we want is land to graze. Our cows are all dead. Cow thieves and diseases have finished our cows. What we want is the opportunity to raise our cows independently.”

Our demand is a simple one, the people of this country elected Muhammadu Buhari as their President, not Mamman Daura, not Ismaila Funtua, and definitely not Abba Kyari.
