Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigerian (MACBAN) on Saturday said its attention has been drawn to the “unscrupulous action of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State against our members who are bona fide citizens of the country.”

A statement by its spokesman, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, recalled that Fayose on Thursday inaugurated a vigilante group, Ekiti Grazing Enforcement Marshals (EGEM), popularly called ‘Anti-malu’ “in furtherance of his threat to banish our members from Ekiti State”.

It said Fayose unleashed the marshals “against our members whose herds of cattle had gone to a stream at Agon Bridge on Federal Polytechnic road between the time of 2:00 – 2:30 PM to quench their thirst on Friday 21st October 2016”.

Continuing, the statement sent to DAILY POST reads: “We have been reliably alerted an impeccable source in Ado- Ekiti that the Anti-maul vigilante group shot five cows and carted away with the meat but the herdsman was able to flee with the rest of his cattle.

“We are hereby constrained to implore the federal government through its security agencies to wade into this unprovoked and primitive aggression against our members, before this macabre incident develops into unquenchable inferno involving our members and Ekiti State government.

“No Cattle strayed into anybody’s farmland around that area in question. As such, the actions of the Anti-malu vigilante are not ant only provoking, but capable of creating uncontrollable scenarios whose ramification may go well beyond Ekiti State.

“As far as we know , Ekiti State is not an island of its own , but a State within the federal Republic of Nigeria and while the Governor is permitted to carry out actions geared towards protecting the interest of Ekiti State, such actions should follow the rule of law.

“We deplore this act of brigandage and call on Governor Ayodele Fayose to offer an unreserved apology to MACBAN, and equally set machinery in motion with a view to compensate our members who lost five cows in this primitive adventure.

“That the brutality of the Ekiti Grazing enforcement marshals (popularly known as Anti- malu) on herdsmen is even outside the time stipulated by that law (if the law exists at all).

“The federal overnment should therefore look into the actions and activities of this committee because we cannot fold our hands while the only means of survival of our members is taken away and destroyed.

“MACBAN has instructed victims of this aggression and its members nationwide to exercise maximum restrain while we work towards resolving this unfortunate incident through mature and civilized manners.

MACBAN further sympathized with the government of Kaduna State, Sokapu and entire Kaduna South inhabitants over the recent incident that had claimed so many lives as a result of a discord between our members and communities surrounding Godogodo environ.

“We see this act as an upsolute brutality exhibited by the perpetrators and condemnable in all its ramifications. We call on the security to do all it could to fish out and bring these criminals to book.”

Meanwhile, The Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Sokoto State Chapter, Alhaji Muhammadu Magaji, has warned its members not to graze their livestock on farm lands.

Fayose is declaring war on Ekiti people... don't forget Fulani"s don't forget

Ok

fire kor fura ni. so human lives r worthless to u people nd cows r sacred shey. ur heads dere. abeg evry1 check out Lucciview.com nd see wat dey said abt donkey meat tastn great. as for me o, many other options dey, carry ur cows go die

Sometimes, it's better for madness and madness to collide, that is the only time REASON will be appreciated.

If Fayose has not shown these barbarians some taste of madness, who will know they have any sense at all.

OK, let me ask my people ..

*Like to agree with Miyetti Allah Breeders Association that 'Cattle curfew' be reversed in Ekiti ..

*Share to stand with Fayose ..on this matter

Neither does Yoruba forgive...!

Is it by force, u were warn but u feel ur kindsman is incharge so u can enter anywhere. U guys had done enough havoc, Ekiti is a no go area. Period

Hehehe

Just five cows and you are already quoting rule of law, let me remind you that there's a law in ekiti state that forbids cow from roaming in the day. Your people just wanted to try if fayose can carry out his treat to treat any disobedient fulani as a terrorist. Fayose is not Buhari o, He is Oshokomole

So the governor should fold his arms and watch your brothers kill innocent farmers ba?Why the Fulani love cows more than human lives?

nrexzy:

Somebody openly declares war on the entire Ekiti people promising to unleash fire on the state and you blame Fayose?

Are you normal?

This is a case for the useless DSS who rather than harass the opposition should pick this idiotic cow dung for further questioning

Just waiting for those pay per post kids to come support their pay master

Modath
Sarki
Omenka

Expecting you guys come and do your work

They should their cow to the north

Ekiti Afonja's are not coward. Miyeti abi wetin una call una self. Ekiti Afonja wont cry, pray and fast when you attack, they will Afonja you all

More love for Fayose Wallahi....!!

Wish Delta and Edo would emulate the great Fayose....and chase these barbarians outta we side...for good...

We can now see that Federal Might is all they have to boast with....because the GrandPatron is the C-in-C.

So what tribe forgets??

Seriously the people of ekiti through their representatives have said not to cattle grazing. . The least u can do is to obey it... .

The law was not passed by the governor but by the people's representatives so bringing cow to ekiti is an insults to its people

Fayose will cause unforgettable event in Ekiti State that will put people in long angony. Yoruba are not coward but reasonable and thinking deep before taking action. You put some illiterate together and call them ant-malu, they will go away with one cow that will lead to violence and as a governor you don't control police and army. You are unneccessarily expose people you can not defend if violence start.

Afonja.

When in the north, don't you respect their sharia ways? Why should they not respect the law duly passed and enacted by Ekiti ?

Slaves like you should either move permanently to the north or shut up

The first sentence came to pass ..

Now, the third ..


Governors, President should take me more serious ..

I be like Merlin!
