The group, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore gave the warning on Wednesday, November 4, 2015, through its National President, Alhaji Bello Abdullahi Bodejo.
“We want Femi Fani-Kayode to publicly withdraw his hate speech and wrongful criminal allegation against the entire Fulani race and in particular, immediately to avoid legal action by us,” Bodejo said after a meeting with leaders of South-West organisations in Abuja.
“We want FG to deal with anybody no matter highly place in Nigeria if they did not guide their utterances,” he added.
Fani-Kayode had condemned the Fulanis after the abduction of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Olu Falae by a group of herdsmen.
The former minister had also threatened that the Fulani herdsmen would face severe consequences if they didn’t leave the South West.
