Don't Tag Fulani People As Terrorists — Northern Elders
|
[SAHARAREPORTERS] The Northern Elders Forum (NEF)
| ...apparently a Pan–Arewa (northern Nigeria) socio-political group, meaning the combined Fulani and Hausa in the Nigerian portion of the territory of the former Sokoto Caliphate ... |
has said the Nigerian government should not tag the Fulani
 ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity...
people in the country as bully boyz based on a recent court order.
NEF said this in reaction to the resolve of the President Muhammadu Buhari government to designate bandidos who are mostly Fulani as terrorists.
In a statement issued by the Director, Publicity, and Advocacy of NEF, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the NEF also spoke on that the planned increase of fuel price noting that it would compound the already desperate condition of living of most Nigerians.
This is just as the forum drew the attention of the government to the hardship under which the vast majority of Nigerians lived.
NEF said, "The Forum noted a judicial decision to label bandidos and kidnappers as bully boyz and recommends greater clarity in terms of the targets of this development.
"In any event, the Forum cautions against profiling and targeting all Fulani as terrorists. Millions of law-abiding Fulani exist who should be encouraged to stay on the side of the law, while those who have chosen to continue on the path of criminality should feel the full weight of the law," the statement noted.
"The forum invites the attention to the hardship under which the vast majority of the population lives. Increasing poverty levels and widespread insecurity demand that leaders should exercise extreme caution in taking economic and security-related decisions.
