I have never seen any Fulani Terrorist being sentence to death for Kidnapping and Banditry.... But when it comes to other Tribes, Courts are quick to sentence them.

I’m glad to see the judiciary in Edo State taking strong action against serious crimes. True justice requires holding all perpetrators, regardless of background, accountable. May these decisive measures help restore safety and order for the people. S.M. Khalīfah Muhammad-Khalil ibn Abdullah, Chef Royal, Maison Royale de Louisiane Isleña
