The Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau yesterday during an inaugural meeting on the Fulani Herdsmen conflict in Abuja blamed social media for escalating clashes between the deadly Fulani herdsmen and farmers, across the country.
He said “The rise of the social media has given non-traditional media outlets the frame for posting stories surrounding the conflict in ways that tend to undermine the cooperate existence of Nigeria.”
Dambazau, further said that the issue of the clashes between Fulani Herdsmen and farmers is a threat to national security and should be addressed with urgency
However,he is yet to condemn nor release a statement on the killing of over 400 Nigerians in Agatu or the incessant attacks by the same elements on Chief Olu Falae, chairman of the Social Democratic Party or the killing of dozens of people in Taraba state by the herdsmen.
