Fulani Leader Alleges Herders Suffer More Attacks in Plateau State

Malam Musa Sale, a Fulani leader in Plateau State, claims that Fulani herders are suffering more attacks than commonly believed, with over 1,000 deaths and 5,000 cattle losses in the past five years across various LGAs. Sale accuses native militias of targeting Fulani settlements, often without media coverage.

He highlights instances where Fulani herders have been portrayed as aggressors, alleging routine attacks by youth groups, particularly among the Berom tribe. Sale urges for balanced media reporting on violence in Plateau State, emphasizing the presence of criminal elements among Fulani herders and native tribes.
