Gov Masari cries out: Bandits are Fulani, Muslims
As Katsina reels in pain of killing and kidnapping, Governor Aminu Bello Masari has jettisoned ethnicity and religion, and he’s saying out loud what will shock many.
He revealed that the bandits terrorisizing his state and others in the north have same religion, language like him, and they have been living “with us for hundreds of years”.
“Majority of those involved in this banditry are Fulanis,” he said on said on Channels TV “Politics Today” on Monday.
“Whether it is believable or not, that is the truth. These are people who live in the forest and their major occupation is rearing of cattle.”
According to him, these bandits are not aliens.
“They are people that have been living with us for hundreds of years.
“The infiltration we have from some African countries and non-African countries, are people of the Fulani extraction,” he added.
The Fulani ethnic stock are about 50 million across Africa, and their population in Nigeria probably is the largest compared to other countries.
President Muhammadu Buhari has been criticized for his government inability to secure Nigeria despite all his claim, and how his home state Katsina is even among the worst hit in the north.
