Miyetti Allah Warns Against Profiling, Killing Of Fulani In Southern, Middle Belt States
A local branch Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MCBAN, Attahiru Abubakar (Tukuran Bargu), has warned against ethnic profiling and killing of Fulani pastoralist in some Southern and middle belt states.
He gave the warning in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
He cited Benue State, where he alleged that the actual bandits are their people, and South-East too, where killings and stealing of cows belonging to Fulani are done by the state indigenes, tagged ‘unknown gunmen’, but unfortunately the Federal Government always looks the other way.
Also speaking, Abubakar Bandam, warned Southern states, which banned open grazing in their states, to have a rethink on their decision as the ban would have negative impact on the economy of the country, saying meat supply chain comes from the cattle rearing and is also the business of fulani who are known as migrants.
He noted that they are Nigerians and have the rights to co-exist in any state provided that, their businesses were not unlawful.
