Kogi State chairman
of the association, Mallam Jalido Abubakar who made this known during a
meeting with security agents in the state, faulted the attribution of
kidnapping and armed robberies to the Fulani in different parts of the
country.
He argued that the
Fulani were mostly the victims in their host communities rather than
being the perpetrators of heinous crimes often ascribed to them.
"I will not dispute
the fact that we do not have bad eggs among us, but we have set-up
committees at the local government level to fish out the criminals, we
will get them arrested and they will face the wrath of the law," he
said.
Mallam Jalido
commended the police and the State Security Service for honouring their
invitation to the meeting which was convened by the association.
He promised that he
as the chairman would end the persistent crises between farmers and
Fulani herdsmen, assuring that he would seek lasting solutions by
promoting dialogue between the parties.
Also speaking, the
representative of the Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Danjuma
Dangiwa Dantata, appealed to the Fulani and their hosts to live together
peacefully, urging the umbrella body to monitor heinous crimes
allegedly committed by young Fulani men.
