Igbo group warns Fulani herdsmen against violence in South-East

The Biafra Nations Youth League said the Fulani group must accept the decision of the South East Governors Forum.

BNYL said the Fulani group must accept the decision of the South East Governors Forum not to release any portion of land to herdsmen, adding that cattle colonies will not be condoned in the region.

According to the group's leader, Princewill Chimezie Richard,  the Igbo youths and their brothers in the South South will not tolerate Islamic activities of the Fulani militia.

"Cattle Colony is an Islamic expansionist agenda, it is a tactic to conquer those who do not fall under Dan Fodio established Islamic caliphates in Nigeria.

"They conquered the Oyo and the Bini Empire with the help of the Yoruba in Kwara whose territory were totally captured by the powerful Jihadist, some of the Middle Belt tribes especially in Kogi were captured, apart from Benue and Plateau and Southern Kaduna people who are Christians but are under Sharia Laws.

"The ongoing killing there is to take full control of their territory."

Meanwhile, the group also commended the Ohanaeze - IPOB unity meeting held in Enugu few days ago,

Richard said "The strength of a people lies on their togetherness, ideologies may differ but unity and purposefulness brings about a desired unity and understanding".

BNYL also threatened to retaliate if Fulani herdsmen kill anybody in the East.
