Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said the false narrative that Northerners are responsible for terrorism in the Southeast is dead and buried.
News360 Info reports that Fani-Kayode made this known while reacting to remarks by Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, on those responsible for kidnapping in the Southeast.
Before now, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) had claimed that Fulani and Northerners, disguising themselves as herders, were responsible for most of the kidnapping activities taking place in the Southeast.
IPOB also claimed that these armed herders hide in the bushes and forests from where they attack communities in the Southeast.
However, Soludo, while addressing indigenes of Anambra State in the United States, US, during a town hall meeting in Maryland, dismissed these notions, stressing that Igbos are behind most of the terrorist acts in the Southeast.
According to Soludo, 99.9% percent of those responsible for kidnapping and terrorism in the Southeast are Igbos and not Fulanis.
In response to the comment, Fani-Kayode in a post via wrote, “Gov. Charles Soludo of Anambra state has said that 99.9% of killings and kidnappings that take place in the East are perpetuated by Igbos and not Fulanis.
“I guess that the false narrative that Northerners are responsible for all the terrorism in the East is finally dead and buried. Thanks be to God.”
