One of the leaders of the Fulani herdsmen association has blasted the media for portraying the herders in a negative light in the society through obnoxious reports.
Baba Othman Ngelzarma, National Secretary, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association was a guest on Channels TV's Morning Rise programme during which he addressed the unabated spate of Fulani herdsmen invasion in Nigeria which has led to the death of several Nigerians thereby threatening the national security of Nigeria.
Read the major highlights of his views on national Television:
- Says the proposed Grazing Bill by the National Assembly to establish grazing land and routes in every state is good for them
- Says herdsmen are peace loving
- Says anywhere they go they always touch base with the head of Hausa community before they now meet the traditional institution in the area
- Says it the communities who usually provoke the Fulani herdsmen by demanding money before they graze, and if they refuse to pay, they shoot 1 or 2 cattle.
- Says herdsmen that carry AK-47 are cattle rustlers
- Says Buhari has greatly helped them to limit cattle rustling, and that Buhari has helped them to recover a lot of cattle rustled since he assumed office
- Says the media has dented the image of the herdsmen in Nigeria through inflammatory statements.

Am disappointment on channels TV for even granting such a mendacious mendicant an opportunity to chat on that kind of platform. He should be guided because such statement of his can trigger a serious unrest. Please reasonable people should be invited to deliberate on such a platform.
ReplyDeleteShut up there Baba othtam, peaceful indeed!!! Even If settlements did provoke them does it warrant killings? Please shut up. God save you that we didn't see you. Nonsense!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteMay you die a horrible death you this idiot and stupid son of Othtan, I am sure your parents are disappointed in you. My farm and produce was raided by this same your peace loving fulani herdsmen two days ago. They've stolen my brothers' yam from his farm land yet they are peace loving. May the blood of the innocent souls give you sleepless nights till you die. What's this rubbish? They will enter your land destroy your produce and when you challenge them then the whole community suffers it. They are the worst and most wicked people on earth.
