We Blocked Transportation Of Food Items To South West Until Fulani Are Safe – Miyetti Allah

Kwara State chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has blocked the transportation of cattle and foodstuffs to the South West.

The Coordinator of group, Aliyu Mohammed, made this known while speaking to newsmen after a crucial meeting of the association in Ilorin on Sunday.

According to him, the blockade of cattle and foodstuffs to the South West through Kwara State will continue until the safety of Fulani is guaranteed in the region.

Mohammed said the action is a warning shot to ensure a peaceful operation of businesses by the Fulani and to end the harassment of the tribe in the south.

He also said not all Fulani are criminals, adding “Just as you have in any society where there are good and bad people.”

Mohammed insisted that “It is not only Fulanis that commit crimes in the country, but it was sad that everything happening now is heaped on Fulani herdsmen.”

The coordinator said the association was ready to fish out the bad eggs in their midst.

According to him, “We have concluded at our meeting today that anybody who comes to Kwara State claiming to be Fulani herder under questionable circumstances, will be reported to the security agencies for necessary action.

“Our vigilantes will monitor the bush and the forests where there are no security agencies and report suspected cattle rustlers who disguise as cattle herders to perpetrate crimes,” he added.

Mohammed appealed to the Federal government to arrest Sunday Igboho, who evicted the Fulani from Igangan in Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State, for the alleged destruction of their properties and killing of their people.

He, however, commended Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq for his statesmanship in accommodating and cooperating to ensure the safe landing of Fulanis in the state.

KangiDaily recalls that Miyetti Allah has accused Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, of unleashing mayhem on innocent herdsmen and northerners residing in the South-West.

The group alleged that Governor Akeredolu created the Western Nigeria Security Network, also known as Amotekun, to kill the herders and northerners living in the South-West.
