There is a concerning rise of crimes falsely attributed to Fulani, such as kidnappers who dress like Fulani and shout Allah Akbar, so that when the crime is reported, it is said that Fulani people did it.  But when the perpetrators are caught, it is revealed that they were from a different ethnic group disguising themselves as Fulani and hiding behind the negative stereotyping of Fulani so common in the media today.
