This criminality has been going on for over ten years, but the corrupt and cowardly previous administrations in the state failed to act to protect lives and property. These findings should not come as a surprise to those who are familiar with the kidnapping of Methodist Prelate, Samuel Kanu-Uche. In an interview with Arise Television on June 4, 2022, the Prelate disclosed that his captors identified themselves as Fulani from Nigeria and other far-flung places like Mali, Songhai and Sudan.

The riots, which lasted from March to May 2000, claimed between 1,000 and 5,000 lives. As usual, majority of victims were Southerners, particularly Igbo who are usually targeted when such tragic events take place in the deep North.
