The Nasarawa State chapter of the
Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, MACBAN, has called on the military
to arrest and prosecute its herdsmen involved in any form of crime.
The branch chairman, Muhammed
Hussein made the call while appealing to the military to stop killing their
members.
Hussein expressed worries over
the spate of attacks on its members.
Addressing journalists in Lafia,
the state capital, Hussein alleged that six herdsmen and 150 cows had been
killed by suspected military personnel.
Hussein said, “We are worried how
six of our members were shot dead by some bad eggs that are in the military.
“If the military suspects any
Fulani man for any crime, they should arrest and prosecute him and not to just
kill him like that.
“I am not aware of what led to
the attack but I was informed that some soldiers just invaded Fulani settlement
and shot six of our people including a traditional title holder in the Fulani
community.
“If you claim that the Fulani
people committed a crime, how about the cows, what did the cows do that
warranted the killing of 150 cows. What for?”
thunder will strike all of you...
