The NYLF Chairman alleged that the

The Chairman of the Northern Youth Leaders
Forum, Rev Elliot Afiso, has claimed that former
President Goodluck Jonathan laid the foundation
for the festering insecurity, banditry and killings
in the country by sponsoring a Fulani group
known as "Miyetti Allah Kautal Horre."

In an interview with SaharaReporters, Afiso
noted that President Muhammadu Buhari had
been caged and was no longer in charge of the
government.
He said, "One thing that I want Nigerians to
know is that it was in 2014 that banditry started
in earnest. This is because, that was when the
then President, Goodluck Jonathan, reneged on
a gentleman agreement of not seeking a second
term. He lobbied the Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders Association and the Northern Elders
Forum, but they refused.
"But because he was desperate, he mobilised
some people who create "Miyetti Allah Kautal
Horre", and he also created the Northern Elders
Council, to rival those groups that refused to
endorse his reelection ambition.
"Recall that he received Miyetti Allah Kautal
Horre at the presidential villa and gave them
N300,000,000 to gain their support.
Unfortunately, Miyetti Allah Kautal Horre used
the money to acquire arms.
"Don't forget that he was dealing with Fulani
people whose cattle have been rustled by Boko
Haram terrorists, so they were also desperate
to regain their means of livelihood.
"Having acquired firearms with Jonathan's gift,
they found kidnapping and banditry to be a
lucrative business. Also, with a polarised elite
group, the bandits began to enjoy the support of
some Northern elders.
"When you have a one-on-one interaction with
some of the arrested kidnappers, they tell you
sometimes that they get as little as N5,000
share from a ransom because there's a big boss
somewhere."
When asked if the current regime of President
Muhammadu Buhari was capable of tackling the
menace, Elliot replied, "Let me say without the
fear of contradiction, the Buhari we knew is not
the Buhari we now have.
"This is because this Buhari has been caged.
The Buhari we knew would not allow any
security challenge to last beyond 24 hours.
Recall the other time; the President said he was
not even aware that the Inspector General of
Police didn't follow his orders to relocate to
Benue State."
The northern and southern parts of the country
had been gripped in the paw of banditry and
kidnapping for ransoms for years under Buhari.
The situation seems to be worsening, with the
latest episode being the abduction of more than
600 schoolboys in a boarding Secondary School
in Kankara, Katsina State.
