Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has cautioned Nigerians against demonizing a region, tribe, or faith over the criminal activities of a few.

According to the former Minister, opposing criminal elements in an ethnic group doesn’t equal opposing the whole group.
He wrote: “NEVER demonize a region, tribe or faith. Opposing killer Fulani herdsmen does not mean we oppose ALL Fulanis. Opposing murderous Igbo or Yoruba terrorists does not mean we oppose ALL Yorubas or Igbos. Crime has NO ethnic nationality or religious faith: a criminal is a criminal.”
