Legit.ng gathers that the cleric explained that nobody hated the Fulani people until some of them began to act violently and kill innocent people.
CAN said that if there was any enemy from any Fulani man, the Fulani man created the enemy for himself, as they had been living peacefully for many years in various communities, till the killings started.
“In those days, our children married them, they married our children, but when they became too violent and started carrying AK47, killing people, what type of play is that? That’s a dangerous play.
“We can no longer think we are friends with that type of play it’s too dangerous, so let them call their people to order and ensure that they remove the enmity they have created around an average Fulani person,” he said.
He challenged their leaders to call out the violent ones among them to order; stating that that is the only way people will respect them and trust them again.
Ayokunle also charged the government to step up its security system across the country with a view to stopping the unending killings.
