Fulani youths, under the aegis of
Jonde Jam Fulani Youth Association of Nigeria, JAFUYAN, have vowed to take a
definite stand over the killings of their kinsmen in Numan, Adamawa State, “if
Federal Government fails to act fast.”
Few days ago, over 60 persons
were killed in an overnight clash between farmers and Fulani herdsmen in Safere
and Kodomti villages in Numan.
National President of Jonde Jam,
Alhaji Saidu Maikano, in a press release on Friday, vowed that, “Jonde Jam is
convening a national stakeholders meeting to take a definite stand on this act
of wickedness against its members.”
The Fulani youths also expressed
concerns over the implementation of the anti-grazing law in Benue and Taraba
states, asking President Mahammadu Buhari to call the two governors, Samuel
Ortom and Darius Ishaku to order.
The group also cried out that
cattle belonging to his members were dying of hunger because they cannot go
grazing in the areas as a result of fear of unknown attackers.
He said: “It id with heavy heart
that we totally condemn the massacre of over 60 women and children in Shaforon,
Kikem and Kodemti villages in Numan local government of Adamawa State on
November 19, 2017.
“This is the latest in a
coordinated agenda to wipe out our people systematically through ethnic
cleansing. This particular dastardly act is perpetrated by the Bachama ethnic
militia in Numan Local Government against the defenceless and unarmed women and
children.
“We therefore condemn in totality
this barbaric act of cruelty against humanity and demand a clear action by the
Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammad Buhari to protect
all our members and their resources as bona fide citizens of the country.
“We also unequivocally demand
justice for our killed members, as justice remains the only way to peace. The
entire Fulani herdsmen of this country are today paying the prize of
coordinated campaign that had deliberately profiled them as perpetrators while
they are the major victims.”
