A repentant Fulani bandit who said that "he is not afraid to tell the truth" has alleged that government is responsible for the weapons they use in carrying out several raids against Southern farmers in various parts of the country.

The herder who was speaking to a large group of people said; "we Fulani's don't know guns. We only know cows and how to rear cows."

He continued: "Cows don't give birth to guns. I swear to God, we just sit down and we are supplied AK47 by the Federal Government."

"I am not afraid to tell the truth. I attended Islamiya and when I finished, we were given these weapons"

Despite not being able to confirm the authenticity of the video, time, where it was shot or recorded and its source, his allegations give credence to rumors that the government is responsible for sponsoring banditry in the Northern part of the country.
