In the attached video, a bandit was heard swearing to God and saying that it is government that sends them arms.

He said that before now, the Fulanis only reared cattle and farmed but never had AK-47s or the means to make them.

A loose English translation reads: “I swear to the Almighty God that the government is the one arming Us.

“We Fulani dont know guns. We only know cows and how to rear cows. Cows don’t give birth to guns.

“I swear to God , we just sat down and were supplied AK-47 by the government .I am not afraid to say the truth.

“I am wondering what I will do with my life now…”“I attended Islamiya and when I finished my school we were given these weapons.
