Tabital Pulakuu International and Fulani youth association have claimed some 10 Fulani’s have been killed in various attacks within eleven (11) days in Ghana. This claim has however not been independently verified.
A joint statement signed by Yakubu Musah Barry, General Secretary of Tabital Pulakuu International, and Mr. Ahmed Barry, President Fulani youth Association of Ghana said “We are urging the security agencies to Intensify investigation, arrest the culprit who killed 8 people at Zackoli in Yendi district Northern Region. Another Fulani has been shot dead at Bolado Zabzugu district Northern Region yesterday making the death toll to 9 in 11 days. The security agencies are over reluctant”.
The groups are worried that Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has failed to honor his promise.
“Another worrying issue at hand is that the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has also failed to offer the necessary help needed to the people of Zakoli as the Vice President promised. The victims are still under the mercies of the weather”.
The General Secretary of Tabital Pulakuu International Ghana chapter Yakubu Musah Barry said their people are losing their cool fearing if nothing is done to bring the perpetrators to book could spiral into reprisal attack in self-defense.
He, therefore, appealed to IGP Dampare to act as soon as possible.
“To be frank with you, we can’t control our people anymore they are running out of patience and the security must act very fast to bring those people to book, this is not the first time we are going through this but we don’t get the justice we want. It has happened In more than 10 different locations across the country but no one has been prosecuted.
“We don’t know why anytime there is an attack on Fulanis they don’t treat it with the urgency and seriousness it deserves, we are very surprised the police could not even publish anything about it, this is serious and discriminatory” lamented.
