Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore has warned that it will not
continue to fold its arms while outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
attacks its members.
The Secretary-General of the group, Mr. Saleh Alhassan said
this on Monday while addressing a press conference in Abuja, following Sunday’s
attack by unknown gunmen on a truck carrying cattle in Ezinifite community,
Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, setting it ablaze.
It called on security agencies to urgently take action to
arrest the situation, saying it didn’t want its members to take laws into their
hands.
Miyetti Allah further warned that unwarranted attacks on its
members, especially in the South-East constitute major threat to the 2023
elections.
It stated: “We are calling on Governors, particularly of
South-eastern Nigeria to protect our people and their businesses in their
States. As we gradually move towards the 2023 elections, we are seeing
heightened aggression against our peace-loving herders in the Southern part of
the country.
“And this portends grievous danger to the unity of this
country, and even to the successful conduct of the forthcoming elections if
these threats are not nipped in the bud.
“We will not fold our arms to continue to watch an outlawed
organisation killing our people in the South-East. That’s why we’re calling on
the security agencies to urgently take action to arrest the situation. Because
we don’t want people to take laws into their hands,” he said.
Asked what the next action would be if their demands are not
met, Miyetti Allah added it would take legal actions against those perpetrating
acts of violence against its members.
