Fulani elders in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State have
invoked wrath on youths engaging in crimes.

The invocation, known as ‘Fulaco Combo’, was held at the Central Pilot
Primary School in Ugya town, Toto local government area of the state.

The Fulaco was performed by Modibbo Alhaji Bisalla.

“This is a belief by all Fulani people. An invocation can be made, and
whoever defies it will not know peace in his lifetime. This is done to
find a lasting solution to the incessant cases of kidnapping, cattle
rustling, robbery and rape among other vices,” Bisalla said.

In his remarks, Baba Chiroma Hussaini added, “Every peace-loving
Fulani is saddened by this latest and ugly development which is
contrary to our legacy as Fulani. Criminality has never been our way
of life.”

He added that the gathering was to draw a battle line between the good
and bad eggs.

Daily Trust reports that the Chairman of the local government, Nuhu
Dauda, assured the Fulani of his administration’s readiness to partner
organizations and individuals to flush out criminals in the local
government area.

Toto local government of Nasarawa State shares boundary with Abaji
area council of the FCT, Abuja, and Bassa local government area in
Kogi State.
