Kadiri presents reports of "suspects", "alleged involvement", which he is happy to describe as conclusive evidence that the alleged Fulani perpetrators are not guilty.
When he reads news describing "suspected Fulani herdsmen" he latches on to that to exonerate accused Fulani herdsmen.
From this tissue, he is able to conclude-
"Merchant of Venice was a fable just as the story Fulani herdsmen atrocities in Nigeria today. Like all ethnic groups in Nigeria, Fulani people also have criminals among them and as in all cases of crimes, the culprits must be arrested, identified, prosecuted and convicted in the court of law."
Kadiri.
Emphasis mine.
It seems the facts are becoming so glaring and overwhelming for even a Kadiri to admit this, in addition to earlier admitting the inhumanity of Fulani pastoral nomadism destroying people's livelihoods, bcs his stance since 2015 is that Fulani people are being framed.
The Fulani led government, however, has not "arrested, identified, prosecuted and convicted in the court of law" these criminal Fulani even Kadiri admits exists.
That is the core of the problem.
Are there no guilty Fulani?
Is some one else committing these crimes?
Are the various international terrorism and conflict monitoring agencies describing Fulani militia as among the top four in the world deluded?
Why is Buhari silent on the threat from a Northern coalition that Southern governors must accept RUGA within 30 days or face expulsion of Southerners from the North?
What are the implications of that?
Does it not suggest an agenda involving the non-apprehension of those guilty Fulani?
Fela-"sorrow, tears and blood"-may the house not burn as some dispute the colour of the fire.

"Look at what's happening today with the cattle all over the place, that's a security issue which should never have reached this level.
That singular act has resulted in hundreds of people being killed, farms were taken over; it has wiped away a lot of the positive achievements of the government."(Wole Soyinka)
