The Concerned Plateau Fulani Forum plans to sue anyone who attributes state violence to Fulani communities. Coordinator Saleh Haruna announced this decision after government officials repeatedly labeled herders as perpetrators of attacks. The group considers such accusations ethnic profiling designed to eliminate or displace Fulani residents from their ancestral lands. Security agencies consistently identify Fulani people as aggressors without conducting thorough investigations into actual perpetrators. The forum expressed frustration with automatic blame placement on their community members.
Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang recently received a fact-finding report documenting extensive regional damage. The committee documented 450 destroyed communities and 12,000 deaths across 13 local government areas between 2001 and 2025. Haruna criticized the report for exclusively focusing on Fulani-attributed violence while ignoring attacks against herding communities. The document failed to acknowledge Fulani casualties in Mangu, Bokkos, Riyom, and Barkin Ladi areas. Forum leaders questioned the committee's mandate and accused investigators of presenting biased findings that portray herders as unrepentant criminals.
