Peasant herdsmen can’t afford ranching in next 25 years –Bayari, Fulani leader SaturdayMotivation
National President of the Gan Allah Fulani Development Association, Alhaji Sale Bayari, talks about the farmers/herders crisis, how it snowballed into cattle rustling, banditry and kidnapping and ways to address the problem, in this interview with ALEXANDER OKERE
If the government looks at the issue critically, it would find out that there may be some areas that are not occupied by farmers, maybe due to the terrain or the type of soil there; the area could be rocky and not suitable for crops. The government could give them a small a portion in that type of area so that they can rear their animals there so that they would not stray into people’s farms.
What is your view on the reports of kidnapping, killings and other forms of crime in the country as well as the arrest of suspects alleged to be Fulani herdsmen? Frankly, there are criminals among the Fulani herdsmen and it is something we are addressing and that was why we called a series of meetings to brainstorm and make sure that we flush out the criminals among us. Some of them are from other places, so we have given ourselves the assignment to screen, investigate and make sure that we disclose the identities and actions of the perpetrators to security agencies.
