A NewsRescue analyst, Dr. Rotimi Adigun, said,
“They are armed, they have supplies, they are organized. They are not fulani nomads.”
He continued,
“They are an army. The Nigerian Government lies when they keep saying these are nomads or criminals. That’s a big lie. They are an armed group and they are not fighting for grazing land.
“Fulani know that nobody has a right to get grazing or farm land from other people by force. Thats bumkum. They re just killing people, period!
“Buhari made a big mistake when he simplify this into grazing land bill. I think he has shown the poor judgement strong enough for me to condemn him as a leader.
“This is all premeditated.”
