A senior reverend of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Testimony Onifade has made a shocking revelation against the Fulani herdsmen.
Reverend Onifade alleged that the sophisticated weapons being used by Fulani herdsmen underscore the level of their connections with powerful people, according to the Daily Post
Onifade, who is a Special Assistant to the CAN Vice President, Reverend Supo Ayokunle urged the Nigerian Federal Government to arrest the sponsors of these marauding herdsmen and ensure they face justice.
“What the Fulani herdsmen used to carry are sticks and cutlasses, but today they paraded AK 47, where did they get it?” Onifade said.
“Their actions in recent time were barbaric and wicked. I can read political, tribal and ethnic colourations to the way they acted.
“I want to believe that President Muhammadu Buhari despite being a Fulani man cannot support such madness and he should not also keep quiet.
“But if he decides to keep quiet for too long, we in CAN we call him to order because no ethnic group has monopoly of violence.”
