Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has finally spoken on an alleged threat by a Fulani group to attack Delta state.
On Monday, a group simply identified as ‘Fulani Jihadists’ threatened to attack the state if the governor, Ifeanyi Okowa does not rescind the ban on Open grazing in 72 hours.
National Secretary of Miyetti Allah, Othman Ngelzarma, during an interview on Channels TV said that the statement is coming from ‘Mischief makers’ who are out to tarnish the image of the Fulanis.
“Such statement that comes from faceless unknown groups shouldn’t be given any serious consideration. I believe this statement must be coming from mischief makers, People who are out to tarnish the image of the Fulanis.”
“It is because of such negative profiling by the media that makes us believe that the anti-open grazing laws being intended to be promulgated by the Southern states are not laws stopping open grazing, they are laws against Fulanis living in the southern part of the country.”
“The Northern governors must be up and doing and also begin to open discussions with their southern counterparts for them to put their heads together and come up with a solution”.
