The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has
warned Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, against
any attempt to operate a Fulani security group in the Igbo land.
Ohanaeze further warned that if the purported move by
Miyetti Allah is not quelled, it may spell doom to Nigeria.
The highest Igbo organization in a statement by its
Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and issued on Monday
night, emphasized that securing lives and property of the citizenry solely lies
in the hands of State Governors and the President, vowing that Ndigbo would
resist such attempt to deploy any Fulani security group to man nooks and crannies
of Igbo land.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo cautioned Miyetti Allah not to taste the venom and wrath of the Igbos with the increasing attacks on innocent Igbos by its killer herders.
“We have accommodated them, living with them peacefully, but
we will resist any attempt to deploy any Fulani security group in the east,” he
said.
The group further used the medium to condemn in strong terms
the burning down of security formations in Uzuakoli, Bende local government
area of Abia State.
It was gathered that unknown gunmen, on Monday morning,
reportedly razed down a police station in Uzuakoli, Bende local government area
of Abia State.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday when the
assailants invaded the station.
But continuing, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in the release gave
marching orders to Eastern Security Network ESN, and Ebubeagu to as a matter of
urgency to ensure the unwarranted attacks in Igbo land stopped henceforth.
The apex Igbo body disclosed that its leadership will invite
ESN, Ebube Agu and Miyetti Allah for a meeting so as to holistically and
proactively address the wanton destruction of lives and property, occasioned by
herdsmen and farmers’ clashes across the states of South-east zone.
