Meanwhile, a Fulani herdsman has accused officials of the Federal government of supplying them with AK-47s they use to attack communities.

The herdsman stated this while speaking with a loud crowd in Hausa in a viral video.

According to him, herdsmen did not use weapons until the government introduced and supplied them with guns which they have been using for their attacks across the country.

He said, “I swear to the Almighty Allah that it’s the government that is giving arms to us. Fulani doesn’t know what gun is.”

“We are only herdsmen. Cows don’t give birth to guns. I swear to Allah, we are on our own and the government supplies AK47s to us. I am not afraid to say the truth.”

Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari recently ordered security agents to shoot any person seen carrying an AK-47.
