Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina State, has revealed
the identities of bandits wreaking havoc in Nigeria, particularly the northern
parts of the country.
The governor of President Muhammadu Buhari’s state of
origin, said the criminal elements who have plunged the entire nation into
unusual security crisis are majorly Fulani herdsmen.
Governor Masari made the claim on Monday while featuring on
a Channels Television programme, ‘Politics Today’.
He revealed that the elements have same religion, language
like himself, stressing that they have been living “with us for hundreds of
years”.
He said, “Bandits are persons who speak same language like
me. They profess the same religious beliefs like me.
“These bandits are not aliens, they are people we know. They
are people that have been living with us for hundred of years.
“The infiltration we have from some African countries and
non-African countries, are people of the Fulani extraction.
“Majority of those involved in this banditry are Fulanis.
Wether it is believable or not, that is the truth. These are people who live in
the forest and their major occupation is rearing of cattle.”
Like other states in the north, Katsina has witnessed high
level of insecurity birthed by the activities of bandits who have consistently
killed residents and have continued abduct others for ransom purposes.
