Some concerned Fulanis have raises alarm over growing insecurity across their region in the country, saying the situation was capable of undermining the sovereignty of the Nigerian State, if not halted on time right now.
The patriotic Nigerians said the Northern region of the country is the worst hit, as facts on the ground show that the zone is contending with terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other violent cases.
The group, which operates under the aegis of the Coalition of Fulbe Professionals in Africa (COFPIA), lamented the fact that farmers in most parts of the North are not able to access their farms, for fear of being killed.
In a statement signed on Saturday, by Prof. Mohammed Gidadol (National President) and Hajiya Mairo Modibo (National Secretary), COFPIA expressed that, even in some areas where farmers are allowed to go to the field, they are made to pay some money to terrorist elements, who have constituted themselves into local authorities.
“We are yet to reconcile ourselves to the state of insecurity in the country, particularly the North, where bandits and terrorists have literally taken over the forests, from where they launch vicious attacks on our innocent people, leaving behind death and destruction.
“Without mincing words, we make bold to say that the insecurity assailing our dear nation, Nigeria, has reached a boiling point deserving desperate and urgent attention not promises.
