Fulani Herdsmen Out To Wipe Out Other Ethnic Groups From Northern Nigeria – CAN

The Northern Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Yakubu Pam, has warned that minority ethnic groups in the region may soon go into extinction if Fulani Herdsmen are not called to order.

Pam, in a statement on Tuesday, was reacting to the recent killing of 29 persons by suspected Fulani Herdsmen in Nkiedonwhro village in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Among those killed was a former Plateau State Head of Service, Mr. Moses Gwom.

The CAN chairman tasked the Federal Government on thorough investigation into the killings.

He regretted that no single arrest had been made in connection to the event that led to the deaths of mostly women and children in the state.

Meanwhile, the Commander of the Special Task Force in charge of Internal Security in Plateau and neighbouring state, Maj.-Gen. Anthony Atolagbe, has vowed to bring the perpetrators to book.

Atolagbe disclosed that the Army headquarters had recalled soldiers of the Task Force with a view to expose those behind the act.
