Sodiq Oyeleke Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has explained that saying Fulani herdsmen can carry AK-47 was to show the extent to which they are dehumanised and demonised.The PUNCH r...

“So, he has no option than to protect himself. We also have so many vigilante groups in Nigeria, even at the different levels of government, sub-regional groups, sub-national.It is a figure of speech to show you the despondence, the desperation and frustration, and the agony that this particular person is exposed to by his own people, by his own tribe, and by other tribes who have all seen him as a criminal and therefore, he has the inalienable right to protect himself.

“It may not be an illegal carriage, it may be legal. He may also register and carry it to protect himself.”While explaining the need for security and self-protection, the governor clarified that he does not intend to legalise the carriage of AK-47 with his comment. “They have no option but to protect themselves. The issue is self-protection. There must be some sort of approval. What I am saying is not to legalise the carriage of AK-47. I must be understood,” he added.

If herdsmen can carry AK-47, we should too cos we're all under attack from kidnappers, bandits, rapists.... Who lives becomes who pulls trigger faster

This is Bullshit. Who then is not suppose to protect his/her self? If everybody is now protecting themselves with a riffle due to the nature of their jobs, where then could we have peace in the country?

The face of a terrorist sponsored governor.

Oga na goat you be..

So why only Fulani herdsmen? Farmers should carry AK47 to protect their farms from being destroyed. Business people and traders should carry AK47 too. Students should carry AK47 to protect themselves. Equality

This man need to be checked? We have them when we are young and they're friendly..... But when you dash them deadly weapon and turn some of them to monster.

You should be arrested

These are the types of people ruling a country 🤔🤔🤔🤔. Nigeria is down with such cows in power

This man provides a good reason to take the phrase 'silence is golden' literally. Every time he opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it.

No excuse Oga you don 4cup any further explanation is to further jones

You all remember what this guy was saying back then And now, some northern leaders are acting!

Cowards

Oro palapala wo ni eleyi nso baayi

Mumu

Foolish man

See this one again 🤷🏻‍♀️ all in the name of supporting criminals and giving them blanket amnesty. Sey you want to kill us finish ni àbí what

Look at those eyes his and give him a proper name

Watched him on channels, very laughable with the explanation he was trying to put up. I was waiting to hear him say that other Nigerians been attacked by terrorist herdsmen has the right to also carry AK-47, but he never did. One tribe has the right while others don't. 😐

Its even better we go on revolution... Let every tribe hold their tribe...by that time any trespass herdsmen will properly death with

The same reason farmers and travelers who herdsmen attack should carry AK-47! Afterall, fair is fair. We are all equal before God.

You must be mad this with stupid narration in defense of killer herdsmen. But,it us a crime for Nigerians to carry same for whatever purpose.

Still talking in the nonsense

Why can't we the citizens carry it as well ?

The man is stupid with his flimsy reasons. Trained armed forece don't carry Ak_47 but herdsmen carry it and u are telling us nonsense.

Supporter of lawlessness and killings

Very wrong as a leader to make that statement, this is what we lack in this country

Supplier of firearms to herdsmen

Ifb

This is reasoning upsidedown. Very illogical. And coming from a governor What a crap!! Cattle routes? In another man's land? Balderdash. Why does Hisba think they can destroy others legitimate business (selling beer) in their state? Why don't they come to Ondo to destroy beer?

We guys have done a lot of kidnapping business am sure u can afford Ak-47 for all the people of Bauchi if u care dat much... the one u think ve small sense will just wake up and talk like a cow dat he is

Shut you slutty holes

Pls good ppl of Nigeria . hustle,make money,then run away from this killer country

Bala said herdsmen can carry AK-47,matawale said not all bandits are criminal, Gumi said give blanket amnesty to kidnappers. If nothing is done, the north will take Nigeria 100yrs back with all this endorsement from northern leaders. One nation indeed

U call carrying of AK-47 self protection wat would u say if an ordinary man carry it,wat happen to the cutlass the nrmly carry?

Are we governed by your wickedness or by the constitution?

We know who you are; supporter of killer herders

Mad man.... they always thinks, they are first citizens. If it one Southwest Gov that said this. The other way round might be the media talk up...
