The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) has said its
members lost no fewer than 6,000 cows to crisis in Southern Kaduna in
the last few years according to the Nigerian Tribune.
Speaking at a news conference organised on behalf of the Kaduna
State and Zone 3 chapters of MACBAN, on Saturday, the state secretary of
the association, Musa Mohammed Gambo, maintained that the Fulani were
also victims of the violence.
According to him, the crisis in the area claimed the lives of many
of his kinsmen. He alleged that the recent crisis was ignited by some
religious leaders who were enemies of peace.
“How can we be involved in the killing of our brothers, whom
our great grandparents have lived with and with whom we are living with
our children and wives?
“Unfortunately, we have been accused of being the perpetrators
of the crisis, and even some are saying that Miyetti Allah will carry
out reprisals. At no time did we issue any such irresponsible article to
any media.
“As a peace-loving association, which has contributed immensely
to the peace and reconciliation efforts not only in southern Kaduna but
also in the entire country, we will never descend so low as to advocate
crisis,” Gambo said.
Meanwhile, the Jema’a Emirate Council in Kaduna State has said that
the emir of Jema’a, Alhaji Muhammad Isah II, was attacked by some
disgruntled youths at Samaru Kataf in Zango Kataf.
The council was reacting to the denial of the Southern Kaduna
People’s Union (SOKAPU) in some media outlets that the emir was not
attacked.
