The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has urged herdsmen to return to the northern region if their security could not be guaranteed in their host communities in the southern part of the country, it also told northern Governors to commence preparation to receive the Fulani communities being ejected from southern states.
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, NEF Director of Publicity and Advocacy, in a statement, said the relocation advice became necessary following alleged attack on herders, families and communities in some states of the south. The forum further warned that the nation would be treading dangerous grounds if it continued to tolerate demonisation of entire groups over particular types of crimes. The elders called on President Muhammadu Buhari and Governors to “protect law-abiding members of Fulani communities from killers and criminals who apparently believe that Fulani has no rights in Nigeria.”
