By Segun Awofadeji Following controversy trailing his recent comments that carrying of AK-47 by Fulani herders was a last option for self defence, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has clarified his comments, saying he was misunderstood. His Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Comrade Mukhtar Gidado, in a statement Sunday night said, “to the extent that not every herdsman is a criminal, the reference to AK47 was simply to put in perspective, the predicament and desperation of those law-abiding Fulani herdsmen who, while carrying out their legitimate cow-rearing business, have become serial victims of cattle rustling, banditry, kidnapping and assassination”.
