Don’t Brand Fulani Herdsmen As Criminals, ACF Warns- The Sun by AbuEzeFemi(m): 7:40am On Oct 04, 2015 |
Arewa consultative Forum (ACF) yesterday expressed embarrassment and disappointment with the Pan- Yoruba group, Afenifere, for calling on the federal government to abolish nomadic cattle rearing to stop alleged criminal activities by herdsmen in Yoruba land. ACF was reacting to a statement made by the leadership of Afenifere following the kidnapping and release of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and elder statesman, Chief Olu Falae by some persons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen. Afenifere was said to have issued a communiqué after a meeting, saying, “If the Federal Government fails to stop Fulani herdsmen from attacking Yoruba people, it may result in a situation where the South-west people will have to defend themselves”. However, a statement issued by ACF National Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Ibrahim, said, “ACF considers Afenifere statement as reckless and unbecoming of a highly respected group like the Afenifere that chooses to criminalize a whole race or tribe or region instead of the individual criminals, moreover, our law books provides the process of dealing with such suspected criminals rather than arrogating such powers to ourselves. “Nigeria has over 250 tribes and Yoruba is just one of them, for it to threaten other tribes just because of an alleged crime of some suspected herdsmen is unnecessary, emotional and contrary to the spirit and letters of the Nigerian constitution which guarantees free movement and association of citizens in any part of the country”. This was even as the ACF also condemned Friday suicide bombing of Nyanya and Kuje areas of Abuja, saying the incident was too worrisome despite success being recorded by the military in tackling Boko Haram insurgency. “ACF is also saddened by the news of the multiple suicide bomb blasts that occurred on Thursday 1st October in Maiduguri and that of Friday night at Kuje and Nyanya in the FCT all within the week, which killed scores of innocent people and injured many. “This recent and frequent bomb attacks on innocent people is worrisome despite the successes being recorded by the military in tackling the Boko Haram insurgency. “ACF once more urges the security agencies to be more proactive in the discharge of their responsibilities while the community should be more vigilant and also share intelligence with the security agencies to avert these unwarranted bombings. “ACF extends its condolences to the families of those killed by the bomb blast, the Government and people of Borno state and the FCT and also appeals to the authorities to take care of the injured and provide them with basic rehabilitation needs,” the statement added. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/dont-brand-fulani-herdsmen-as-criminals-acf-warns/ |

What?!... Did those foolish elders just utter this rubbish? That was how these same sets of people supported Bokoharam in the last administration, Now they are exonerating Fulani herdsmen. That's why I like Fani Kayode, that guy is so fearless and speaks the truth most of the time, Unfortunately, Most of his people won't reason with him, but will call him names, Now even Afenifere is complaining. Fulani herdsmen are bloodthirsty, heartless jihadists!. They have no human sympathy, I make bold to say this; Killing is their hobby. 10 Likes |

Read between the lines, people. These fulani herdsmen have got the backing of influential people from the north. Did you notice that not once has the ACF ever openly condemn the wanton killings of their nomadic wards? Even this particular statement by them did not acknowledge the crimes these nomads commit. They are simply against the call by Afenifere for the abolition of nomadic herding. Put aside the kidnap of Olu Falae. What about the countless people who got killed for protesting the destruction of the crops in their farmland by cattle? Such incidents are as fresh as a few days ago. These deaths don't matter to ACF. They have turned the middle belt into a theater of death and destruction. Now, they are creeping southwards with the covert support of the "born to rule" elites of their people. The only language these people understand is violence. Now that one of theirs is the president, their impunity has skyrocketed. Buhari will not do anything to curtail their activity. But if any southern community retaliate by harming any of these men or their cattle, don't be surprised that he could send the army to level such villages. If he had that power 15 years ago, I'm pretty certain that's what would have happened. Recall that incident 15 years ago, in Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State? The Fulani herdsmen and farmers had a major clash which led to a strong delegation from ACF to storm the office of the then Governor Lam Adeshina in a rowdy and angry manner on behalf of the Fulani. Buhari led that angry delegation 15 years ago. Buhari came to ask Lam Adeshina: Why are "your people" killing "my people?" He didn't deem it fit to intervene when the Fulanis went on the offensive by destroying lives and properties in the host communities, only to get angry and bellicose when the Oke-Ogun people retaliated. 11 Likes 1 Share |

And the Bastardss never proferred any solution to the menace of Foutajalons popularly known as Fulani Herdsmen From Hell aka Tse Tse Flies aka Leeches aka Parasites aka supporter of APC aka Rapists aka Destroyers of Farmlands. They are in power now, so they can rant and issue useless statement as they wish. One thing is certain, Afenifere Have Spoken and Those Fulani Herdsmen Shall Be Given Ilaro Treatment without the attention of media. I love the way the killings are being carried out in Ilaro Ogun State. They can go to hell for all I care. They should tell their Tse Tse Flies to change their archaic way of cattle rearing. This is 2015. May God Almighty punish the Saboteurs who sold us to the Tse Tse Flies. Ase gun. 6 Likes |

If it were a few isolated cases, perhaps one could say they have a point. But the truth is everywhere these herdsmen go, trouble follows them. Everything they touch scatters. They can enter a once peaceful Community and leave it in ruins. I have had experiences with them, i know what they are capable of. 2 Likes |

It's not every fulani herdsmen that kills / kidnap people. If you see fulani herdsmen on your property, please do not engage them...report to the nearest police station and necessary action would be taken.

This their statement is realy very shocking! No single word of condemnation of their own criminals, no single word of commiserating with the host communities that have been wronged by the criminal fulanis, no single word of how solution could be profered! Are the Northerners realy human beings? Do they realy have human feelings at all? They seem to be very selfish and lording to me. May the Lord help those of us that have been shewn with these people by British Lugard! 2 Likes |
