In a powerful video message, a Fulani herdsman has appealed to Nigerians to stop associating members of his community with terrorism. He insisted that “a real Fulani man does not carry an AK-47,” describing those armed with rifles as terrorists who are misrepresenting the Fulani identity. The herdsman’s plea comes amid rising tensions and frequent attacks wrongly attributed to entire ethnic groups.

The message, shared widely on social media, seeks to distinguish ordinary Fulani herders from armed militants, urging citizens and authorities to avoid stereotyping the community. He emphasized that linking innocent Fulani individuals to violent acts only deepens ethnic divisions and hinders peacebuilding efforts in affected regions.

As the video circulates across the country, many Nigerians are reflecting on the importance of distinguishing between criminal elements and peaceful communities. How will such clarifications impact ongoing efforts to address insecurity without fueling ethnic bias? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news
