Miyetti Allah Responds To US Commission Report, Says Peaceful Herders Should Not Be Linked To Armed Groups

Miyetti Allah rejects Fulani–militant link

Miyetti Allah (MACBAN) rejected the USCIRF report estimating 30,000 armed Fulani militants in Nigeria, stating those figures misrepresent the 14.5 million peaceful Fulani citizens. The denial highlights the ongoing governance challenge of distinguishing ethnic communities from criminal networks in Nigeria's security crisis — a distinction that shapes international risk assessments and investment posture in the region.
