He stressed the need for the leadership of the Hausa-Fulani Communities to clear their names as most crimes are often attributed to them, saying that many incidents are perpetrated by foreigners who infiltrate the Local government.
“Every time there is a kidnapping, the incident is mostly blamed on the Fulani. That is why I deemed it necessary to come here and speak to Fulani leaders about the need to ensure strangers do not come into our local government to perpetrate criminal activities” The Chairman said.
The Caretaker Chairman thanked the Zango Hausa and Fulani community for the warm reception accorded him, enjoined them to always live and do their business without any forms of violence or criminality.
