Satan and the Cosa Nostra to the Vatican and the Anglican Communion.
Fani-Kayode who was reacting to the Presidency’s comparison of Miyetti
Allah to Afenifere or Ohaneze said the Fulani Association is an umbrella
organization of bloodthirsty and merciless men.
In a short statement sent to pointblanknews.com, the former Minister
said:
“No they are not. They are an association of butchers of cows and men.
They are the purveyors of violence, the custodians of falsehood and the
repositories of evil. They are as perfidious as they are dangerous!
“They are an umbrella organisation of dark, callous, bloodthirsty and
merciless men that seek to legitimise, shield and protect the Fulani
herdsmen, the fourth most deadly terrorist organisation in the world.
“Comparing them to Afenifere or Ohaneze is like comparing the Church of
Satan and the Cosa Nostra to the Vatican and the Anglican Communion”.
The Presidency had said that Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association
of Nigeria operates same as Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo
socio-cultural groups and thus should not be criminalised.

all stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring that the nation remains
