The Human rights Writers Association of Nigeria has called out the ministry of defense for being lenient with Fulani herdsmen who are terrorists.
The group expressed its concern towards the fact that the federal government declared the Biafra IPOB as a terrorist group and the Fulani herdsmen are yet to be declared one.
The statements reads;
“A situation whereby Nigerians are taken for granted by the heads of the security architectures who are all of the same Northern Moslem extractions and we are told that the armed forces are waging military actions targeted at eradicating the terrorists in the North West who are mostly Fulani by ethnicity same as the heads of the security institutions under Muhammadu Buhari who appointed only his kinsmen into those strategic national institutions but in actual fact these same terrorists that the government has refused to classify appropriately as terrorists but prefers to call them bandits are still carrying out massive attacks on soft and military targets.”
