Bola Bamigbola, OsogboTHE Chairman, Committee on Peaceful Coexistence between Fulani/Bororo and the Crop Farmers in Osun State, Mr Mudasiru Toogun, said Fulani herdsmen, especially the Bororo among them, on different occasions shot at and asked their cows to attack him and members of his committee. According to him, even though criminality has no ethnic colouration, Nigerians are linking Fulani/Bororo to more criminal activities because the group is problematic. I was trying to communicate the farmer that complained to us, but the herdsman blew whistle and the cows all started running. The herdsman again signalled the cows to attack me. I had to lie down flat and threw some objects at the cows before they ran away.
