LOKOJA—Kogi State chapter of Miyette Allahi Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has threatened to withdraw its animals from the state markets over harassment and arrest of its members by the police.
Chairman of the association, Alhaji Shuabu Idrisa, weekend, after a stakeholders meeting between Fulani Ardos and Miyette Allah cattle breeders on problems affecting them, said the threat to withdraw cattle had become necessary following the way security agents were arresting their youths, women and cows in the event of robbery on the highway.
He added that they were made to pay huge sums of money to secure their release, a development, he said, had made some of its members to move to South-West, where they are not harassed or taunted as Boko Haram.
He said: “If there is any robbery on the highway, security agents will swoop on all Fulani settlements in that area and arrest their people, including cows. But when a bank is robbed in town, people of the town are not arrested.
“Also once they see any Fulani man ridding Okada, they will arrest him, calling him Boko Haram and, in the process, extort him.”
He alleged that people always kill any cattle that mistakenly enters their farmland in the area.

Good for them. Man shall not live by beef alone, but by anything edible and palatable
The problems they cause are more than their beef we eat.

I wonder oh! I can't remember the last time I ate beef. Its not like I can't afford it but I also think of the health implications eating red meat.

Make dem carry their cows go. There is chicken, goat, turkey, bush meat and fish to eat and these are healthier options in my opinion.

They are THIEVES. I have been robbed by 3 Fulani men before and I know what I went through!!!

The best thing that will EVER happen to Nigeria is for these animals called Fulani to go their separate ways from a TRUE Nigerian and Nigeria as a whole. how can any normal human being be walking around with knife/ves stocked in under neat of their gowns and whenever they have little understanding with anybody, they will draw the knife to slaughter the person. Let them go with their cows, animals like them.

All the [b]Fish [/b]farmers in the house say Yaaaaaaaaaoooooohhhhhh!!
