Fulani coalition urges Mutfwang to extend shoot‑on‑sight order

The Fulani coalition—a group of Fulani community leaders and representatives—has publicly called on Governor Bala Mutfwang of Nigeria’s Adamawa State to prolong the state’s “shoot‑on‑sight” order, which authorizes security forces to use lethal force against suspected armed bandits and cattle‑raiders. The coalition argues that extending the order will help curb escalating attacks on Fulani herders, protect lives and property, and restore security in the region. Views Nigeria
