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

The order, issued in early 2024, authorizes security forces to use lethal force against suspected armed bandits and cattle‑raiders in the region’s ongoing conflict. The coalition argues that lifting the order would embolden attackers and worsen insecurity for Fulani pastoralists. Views Nigeria
