“Not every Fulani is a bandit” – Portable condemns ethnic profiling amid insecurity concerns

Controversial singer Portable has urged Nigerians to stop labelling all Fulani people as bandits, stressing that criminality should not be linked to an entire ethnic group.

The singer said many people wrongly assume that anyone who looks or dresses like a Fulani person is involved in criminal activities, adding that such assumptions could lead to innocent people being targeted.

“Please, let’s stop making mistakes by labelling all Fulani as bandits. Me, I am not included. Because you see a squad of Fulani inside a bus, you will just conclude that they are bandits. They are not bandits.”

“Some are Hausa, some are their families, Fulani. Some are rearing cows, some sell pepper, and others are into business,” he said.

“Let’s fight bandits. Let’s face bandits. It’s not about beating anyone you see that looks like Fulani. No. They can be dressing like them. Yoruba is among them, Igbo is among them, Hausa is among them, Fulani is among them. All tribes are among them,” he added.
