The General Secretary of Tabital International Ghana Chapter has accused government of not fulfilling its promise to provide shelter for over 200 people who were displaced in Zokili after gunmen attacked three Fulani communities.

Yakubu Musah Barry said government only paid lip service charging it to walk the talk.

The gunmen killed eight people, injured four, and touched several homes, burning their belonging and foodstuff.

The Northern Regional Minister Shani Alhassan Sayibu who led a team of the Regional Security Council to the area promised that Nadmo would assess the situation and aid brought in for the displaced but over a month now the people are yet to receive relief.

Speaking at the final funeral rites of the Eight who were killed Mr Barry said the displaced continue to sleep in the open and wondered what happens anytime it rains.

"NADMO came here after the disaster and gave them mats and mosquito nets how do use mats and mosquito nets to sleep in the open if it is raining.

"We came here and we saw these tents which were fixed after the incident it's not even from NADMO but Red Cross and these tents are not stable, when the wind blows it lifts them away," he said.

Mr Barry said the Fulanis are also Ghanaians who deserve to be protected like everyone else decrying the inhumane manner they are treated.

He said the Fulani Community has not been updated on the investigation into the murder.

"It's over a month now and we are not seeing anything and like the saying goes justice delayed is justice denied," the General Secretary said.

He said Ghanaians should be updated and the perpetrators brought to book.

Delivering a speech earlier Mr Barry gave an account on how the Fulanis came to settle in Ghana to dispel the notion that Fulanis are not Ghanaians.

He said Fulanis came into Dagbon land in the 15th century and second foreign indigenes that arrived in the area during the reign of Naa Luro in 1554.

Mr Barry added that Naa Luro was a warrior who fought and captured many lands and animals for Dagombas.

He said at that time he had no idea about how to handle his cattle so one of his elders advised him that he knew of a particular tribe who were experts in handling cattle and a Fulani man was brought in to take care of the cattle.

He said the chief, satisfied with the way the Fulani handled his cattle, asked that the Fulani man migrate with his family to Dagbon .

"So Fulanis are second to the Wangara who were found in 1456 and the third tribe is the Hausa who migrated in the 1642 century and they came during the reign of Naa Zangina a merchant," he said.

The Deputy Director of Programs at National Peace Council Northern Region Abukari said there was no group in Ghana which should be labelled as criminals adding that all tribes have deviants.

He said there was, therefore the need for Ghanaians to stop tagging Fulanis as criminals" just as no one will wish to give birth to a theft there is no Fulani or Dagomba parent that would want to give birth to theft and there is one who will be interested in harboring any bad elements within their ranks and so we are against any stereotypes or prejudice against any group of people" he said.

Mr Nuhu said the interest of the Peace Council is to see the integration of all groups within the Ghanaian society adding that people should avoid all prejudice.

He also called for the redefinition of perceptions people have about each other which influence people's attitudes towards some people.
