Terror leader: We’re angry with Northerners, FG

A leader of terrorists ravaging villages and communities in the Zamfara-Katsina axis, Ado Aleru, has disclosed that the gunmen were angry with the Northerners and the Federal Government.

Aleru, who was recently turbaned as Sarkin Fulani Yandoton Daji in controversial circumstances that got the Emir suspended, alleged that the Fulani were systematically excluded from government jobs and other economic opportunities, adding that the Nigerian Air Force have been attacking innocent Fulani herders and killed their cattle.

He said this in a BBC Africa Eye documentary due for broadcasting on July 25.

“The Fulani are systematically excluded from government jobs and other economic opportunities, and the Nigerian Air Force attacks innocent Fulani herders and kills their cattle,” Aleru said.

The terror leader further lamented that the grazing routes the Fulani relied on have been closed off while land and water have become very scarce.

In the documentary titled, ‘The Bandit Warlords of Zamfara’, Aleru said while his men kidnap people, he is only interested in killing.

“My men do that; I just go and kill them (people),” he disclosed.

Aleru masterminded mass killing of people in Kadisau village, Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State which prompted police in the state to declare him wanted with a N5m bounty.
