Following the various attacks by suspected herdsmen in some parts of the
country, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, today said
suspected Fulani herdsmen who go about armed with guns and causing
violence in some parts of the country are not Nigerians and should be
treated as terrorists. The monarch said this in his Eid el-Kabir message
to the Muslim.
“They are therefore terrorists and should be treated as such by the
Nigerian security agencies. The Nigerian herdsmen are very peace-loving
and law abiding” he said.
