Mohammed had said herdsmen carry AK-47 and other forms of arms to protect themselves in the forests.

Reacting, Ahmed said Nigerians should be allowed to defend themselves because the government had failed in providing security.

‘The government has become irresponsible. That is why a Fulani man has become an outcast in his own country.’

‘All his wealth has been crippled to activities of cattle rustlers. What do you expect him to do?’

‘Let everybody protect themselves, let everybody carry arms. You don’t allow a few bandits to come and ruin you, kill you, kill your family as few people cannot be terrorizing everybody,’ Ahmed told Newsmen.
