Governor Fintiri Urges Fulani Herders to Maintain Peace

Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Fintiri issued a warning to Fulani herders against taking the law into their own hands, stating that his administration would not tolerate any unlawful acts that could lead to crisis in the state. This warning followed a peace meeting he brokered between the Fulani herders’ community and the Song Local Government Council, which was prompted by a misunderstanding that led to a boycott of Song Market.

The meeting took place at the Government House in Yola and was attended by key officials, including Secretary to the State Government Alhaji Awwal Tukur and traditional leaders. Fintiri urged both parties to prioritize peace and economic growth, emphasizing that anyone who takes a human life would face severe consequences.

He encouraged the herders to return to the market and coexist peacefully, stating that Song belongs to all and that they must work together for mutual benefit.
