Herdsmen Killings: Sultan Of Sokoto, Sa'ad Gives MACBAN 2 Months Ultimatum
The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council
for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has given Miyetti Allah
Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) two months to identify and
apprehend herdsmen behind killings in Nigeria.
He gave the order during the formal swearing-in ceremony of the newly
elected executives of MACBAN in Sokoto, on Tuesday.
The monarch also charged the leadership of MACBAN to find out whether
Fulani herdsmen are actually responsible for the killings across the country or
not.
The Sultan lamented the labelling of Fulanis as the killer herdsmen.
According to Abubakar, “To you the newly elected leadership of MACBAN, I
want to remind you that your task is a very challenging one. Don’t forget that
Fulanis are also being killed in Nigeria and no media attention is given to it.
“However, we are giving you two months to go round the entire country and
find out why Fulanis are accused of being behind the killings. Go and find out
who are those Fulanis doing the killings. Also find out if it is other people
that are doing the killings and are accusing the Fulanis. Please, we want to
get the truth from you within two months.
“We are not ashamed to be called Fulanis because Fulanis are not trouble
makers. Despite the fact that any wrong doing in Nigeria now is erroneously
said to be caused by Fulanis.
“We however want people to know that though there might be bad ones
amongst the Fulanis, just like there are in every race, that is not enough
justification to generalise that all Fulanis are bad.”
