Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state, on Sunday, explained himself over a comment he made about Fulani herdsmen carrying Ak-47 rifles for self-defence, which many perceived as him justifying the acts of the herdsmen.
A statement issued by Mr Mukhtar Gidado, his Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on media, said, "The governor said that the primary objective of his comment was to avert the dangerous prospect of a nation-wide backlash and generalization of the Fulani clan as criminals. According to the statement, Mohammed said it would be inappropriate to label an entire tribe as criminals, based on the crimes of a few members of the ethnic group."
