The myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) says Danladi Ciroma, the Chairman of the group in the north-central region who claimed that the attack in Plateau State was retaliatory, was speaking for himself rather than the group.

Ciroma issued a statement during which he claimed that the largescale killing of people in Plateau by suspected herdsmen were retaliatory attacks following the loss of 300 cows to similar attacks.

“These attacks are retaliatory. As much as I don’t support the killing of human being, the truth must be told that those who carried out the attacks must be on revenge mission,” Ciroma had said.

“Fulani herdsmen have lost about 300 cows in the last few weeks — 94 cows were rustled by armed Berom youth in Fan village, another 36 cows were killed by Berom youth. In addition to that, 174 cattle were rustled and the criminals disappeared with them to Mangu [Local Government]."

However, speaking on Channels Television, the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah, Mr Othman Ngelzarma, said the statement is not the position of the group.

He said: “The statement made by the zonal chairman should be credited to him. That should be his personal opinion because I believe he should be an indigene of Plateau State.”

He condemned the act, describing any herdsman who carries AK47 as a criminal.

“It is so wicked, it is condemnable. We don’t condone it, we do not like it. It is really unfortunate and we sympathise with the communities in that area," Ngelzarma said.

“Whoever is holding a dangerous weapon up to the level of AK-47, we consider that person to be a criminal as far as we are concerned.

“We know these are prohibited arms that should not be held by any other person apart from the security operatives. Apart from that, I don’t think it is allowed for anybody in this country to hold a dangerous weapon as AK-47.”

Why refuting the claims by one of ur own now??After u ve been fired by the decent minded apart from Fulani/afonja Muslims who see nothing wrong in the bloodbath from their lords

Damage control (Taqiya) is too late.

For those of us who study criminology as a hubby will know that criminals often expose themselves with their own mouths after committing crimes during "Crime Induced High" period (The high hardened criminals get after committing heinous crimes). Thats when they gloat about what they did, how they did it and how they will get away with it. But when police come knocking at the door, they realized they foolishly exposed themselves. This is exactly what Miyetti Allah did.
Miyetti allah claimed responsibility for Plateau genocide (They also claimed responsibility for Benue massacre) justifying it over of stolen cows (High induced by bloodshed) with full confidence. Now that heat is increasing on them, with pressure mounting every minute on the useless govt to arrest them, their senses has finally returned to damage control what they foolishly confessed.

This damage control will go nowhere. Miyetti allah people are terrorist. Their non arrest only expose the reality that buhari's destructive govt are responsible for Plateau genocide.

Idiots

What difference does it make if it comes from the zonal or the headquarters. You all are complicit by your previous and reckless statements. Thereby encouraging your sheeps and cows to act with impunity.

How would the HQ know better than the Regional chairman..

More like a chairman knowing the dealings of a branch better than the branch manager...

Well Buhari ain't Gonna Do anything....No be today ...I just pray God intervenes
