Fulani Man Threatens To Destroy two states Border Communities, Tells Residents ‘You Brought It Upon Yourselves’

He also directed those who see the video to send it to Miyetti Allah officials, government authorities and senior Fulani leaders, including the governors of Niger and Kebbi states.

AFulani man identified as Usman has issued a disturbing threat against communities around Kwanji, Babanna in Borgu and Agwara local government areas of Niger State, as well as communities along the Niger-Kebbi border, vowing that several towns in the area will be destroyed.

Usman, who spoke in Hausa in a video seen by SaharaReporters, also called on Fulani residents in the affected areas to leave, while declaring that they would no longer rely on the Miyetti Allah group or take their grievances to court.

In the video, Usman repeatedly invoked God while threatening that communities in the area would be destroyed and that residents would suffer the consequences.

He also directed those who see the video to send it to Miyetti Allah officials, government authorities and senior Fulani leaders, including the governors of Niger and Kebbi states.

At the beginning of the video, he said: “Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.”

Usman then said that his message had already been heard across the country and warned Fulani groups against attempting to intervene through Miyetti Allah or the courts.

He said: “Between me and God, the whole country has heard; the whole country has heard. All Fulani, and if any group, including Miyetti Allah, ever comes out and says they should take any case to court or to the authorities, may God punish them.”

He also issued a direct challenge to Miyetti Allah, saying he was not afraid to confront them.

He explained those who receive the video to ensure that it reaches government officials and prominent Fulani figures.

“Anyone seeing this video should send it to Miyetti Allah and the government. I did not make this video for poor people. Send it to big Fulani people and the governor,” he said.

Usman mentioned the governors of Niger and Kebbi states, urging that they be informed about his warning.

“Between me and God, tell the Governor of Niger State and the Governor of Kebbi State. I swear by Allah, tell the people of Niger State. By Allah, by the One besides whom there is no god, no one will be allowed to farm in this area,” he said.

He went further to threaten the destruction of towns in the area, saying that he had already warned that several communities would be affected.

“I have said that many places here will be destroyed. All the towns in this area will suffer, I swear. If you want to kill me, come and kill me,” he said.

“All these places will be destroyed. I am the one who said it. This place will become another ruin. This place will be destroyed, and the people will suffer. I have said it, and I stand by what I said. Whoever wants to kill me should kill me.”

The man also expressed anger over the use of the courts to resolve grievances, arguing that court proceedings had failed to deliver justice to Fulani communities.

“May Allah deal with this group. If anyone thinks this is just a matter that will be taken to court, since all these years we have been going to court, what justice has the court got for Fulani?” he asked.

He, however, repeated his warning that the area would eventually be destroyed.

“I swear to Allah, this place will eventually be destroyed,” he said.

“I have said it clearly. Whatever happens to the town, you brought it upon yourselves.”

The threats come amid longstanding security and communal tensions in parts of Niger State and communities bordering Kebbi State, where farming and pastoralist communities have faced disputes over land, access to farmland, insecurity and alleged attacks.
