Togun, who was a director at the Directorate of Military
Intelligence (DMI), said the foreigners might unleash terror on the
region.
Speaking yesterday at an annual lecture organised by the
students of the Institute of Peace and Strategic Studies,
University of Ibadan, Togun noted that the Fulani, who were mainly
from Mali, Niger Republic, Chad and Burkina Faso, had been residing
in the forests for some years.
Togun spoke on the theme, “Security challenge: Holistic approach
and the significance of regional security dimensions.”
“The people who are supposed to administer Nigeria to move
forward are biased in the aspect of religion. The Fulani that I
grew up to know were the native Fulani.
“But these ones causing problems are non-Nigerians. They are
from FutaJallon, Mali, Bourkina Faso, Chad, Niger Republic. Some of
these people were Tuaregs, who used to ambush traders in the olden
days and robbed them of their money and property.
“These foreign Fulani, somebody has told them that Allah has
given Nigeria to them as their heritage and they are coming here to
come and take what Allah has given them.”
Togun advised people in the six states of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo,
Osun, Ekiti and Ondo to be security conscious.
He alleged that the commercial motorcyclists, who had
infiltrated the region, were foot soldiers sent to study the
topography of the region.
