Bala Mohammed, the Governor of Bauchi State has said that
bandits terrorising the North are not only from the Fulani ethnic group.
According to him, there are the Igbo, the Yoruba and the
Hausa who are the real beneficiaries of the illicit trade.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday,
the Governor said, “These bandits are not only Fulanis.
“In fact, they are terrorising the Fulanis but they have
Fulani miscreants within them; they have Hausa, they have Igbo suppliers; they
have Yorubas. They’re people really benefitting from the illicit trade.”
Speaking further, Mohammed said he has not changed his mind
on his recent comment that herders have no option but to carry AK-47 for
self-defence because they are being attacked and killed by cattle rustlers.
“I have not changed my opinion on the issue; I was not
defending herdsmen,” he said.
The Governor also said that “It seems the security agencies
have thrown in the towel; are mesmerized,” on the security situation in the
country.
