News PlatformNG reports that members of the Hausa community in Ibadan, Oyo State, have staged a protest over ethnic profiling, following weeks of heightened suspicion directed at them after the abduction of over 40 students and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area.
The protesters condemned the practice of labeling an entire ethnic group as criminals based on the alleged actions of suspected kidnappers. They urged security agencies and the public to focus on apprehending the actual perpetrators rather than targeting innocent residents because of their ethnic identity.
Speaking at the demonstration, community leaders emphasized that Hausa residents in Ibadan are law-abiding Nigerians who seek peace, safety, and justice like every other citizen.
The protest highlights ongoing tensions in the region and calls attention to the importance of protecting innocent communities from collective blame during security crises.
