Fulani chiefs in Nigeria's South West have appealed to the Afenifere Group to cooperate with
them in finding a lasting solution to the perennial clashes between herdsmen
and farmers in the country. The remark was made by
the Sarkin Fulani in Lagos, Alhaji Mohammed Bambado at a press conference in
Lagos on Sunday to address some critical issues arising from the recent kidnap
of Chief Olu Falae. The Fulani leaders
also called on the government to support cattle rearers and set up ranches. While
addressing journalists, the Sarkin Fulani condemned the criminal acts of
kidnapping or any form of threat to lives and property but was quick to say
caution must be taken in handling such sensitive issues bordering on grazing
and nomadic pastoralism. They also called on government to support ranching as
a way of dealing with the issue of perennial clashes between herdsmen and
farmers.
