Fani-Kayode: The carnage, tyranny of Fulani herdsmen may not end soon


”I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death and Hades was following close behind him”- Revelations 6 v.8. 

With recent events, it is clear that the biblical ”four horses of the Apocalypse” may well have been unleashed on Nigeria. 

I support the call by Afenifere that all Fulani herdsmen should be banned from the south-west. Actually, I believe that they should be banned from the entire south and not just the south west. 

I also stand by every word that I wrote in my widely published essay titled ”The Herdsmen From Hell.” This contribution serves as a follow up to that essay. 

The bottom line is this: we do not want those that slaughter innocent people, including women and children, in our midst. 

Those that say that we must remain silent when aliens and vandals invade our land, rape our women and kill our people are, at best, misinformed and misguided and, at worse, insensitive and wicked. 

How can they expect us to remain silent when our elders and leaders are being terrorised and brutalised on a regular basis. Those that harbor such views and that have such misgivings are suffering from a callous and diseased state of mind and they shall be put to shame.

War on corruption: Confiscate looters’ property, Sultan tells Buhari


The leader of Muslims in Nigeria and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has declared the traditional institution’s support to President Muhammadu Buhari’s war on corruption.
Similarly, the Sultan, who is also a member of the General Abubakar Abdulsalami-led National Peace Committee, called on the president to ensure that all those who had stolen the country’s national wealth, were not spared, but be made to face the music.

This is even as he said the properties of those culpable should not only be confiscated, but such people should be prosecuted and sent to jail.

The Sultan spoke on Monday, in Abuja, as a keynote speaker, at the National Security Summit, organised by the Nigeria Police, in collaboration with The Sun Publishing Limited.
