A cruel, brutal and murderous group that lacked the courage to identify itself but only introduced itself as the”Fulani of Usman Dan Fodio leadership,” has declared that it is on the prowl in Delta State. The masked group in a mad effusion threatened to unleash mayhem on Delta state in its bid, it impudently described as upholding its legacy of open grazing.

The group, which calls itself “nomadic people from origination” (sic), made this known in an anonymous write-up it pasted on walls around Asaba, Delta State capital.

In the notification of its evil plans, entitled: “Fulani Jihadist Warning!!!, An Open Message of 2 Paragraphs to Delta State,” and dated 13/06/2021, the group said it was demanding that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta rescinded his earlier call on ban on open grazing.

The statement, warts and all reads: “This is to inform Delta State that the Fulanis of Usman dan Fodio leadership shall do everything it can to uphold the legacy of our heritage of open grazing for we are nomadic people from origination and shall never negotiate the ownership of Nigeria and West Africa and sub-Sahara. We hereby demand the governor of Delta State to immediately withdraw is early stand for the call to ban open grazing in the 17 in not less than 72 hours from the above date, and also withdraw his position as the leading voice for the governors, as no occurrence we don’t have the first hand information, even before the hosting of the South South, South East and south south governors meeting in Asaba.

“DELTANS BE TOLD BE INFORMED BE PREPARED,” the statement concluded.
