…we’re not against cattle rearing, but—S-
East Govs
…police bemoan lack of personnel
ENUGU- THE Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has called for
establishment of Fulani Youth Vigilante body in
communities of the south east, to compliment
its host community counterparts and other
constituted security apparatus in the zone.
The cattle breeders made the request just as
the South east Governors told them that
nobody in the zone was against rearing of cattle
but that it was paramount for everyone to
understand that there are rules of engagement
in every relationship, including that of herders
and farmers.
In the same vein, the Nigeria Police Service
Commission, PSC, lampooned the yearly
recruitment of 10,000 policemen, saying that it
was a far cry from meeting the demand of
police personnel that are in very shortage in
the country.
The security stakeholders made their remarks,
Thursday, during the South east Security
summit organized by South East Chambers of
Commerce, Mines and Agriculture, SECCIMA, in
collaboration with South East Governors Forum,
SEGF, in Enugu.
Speaking as it affects herdsmen, the National
President of MACBAN, Alhaji Mohammadu
Kirowa regretted that once insecurity was
mentioned in Nigeria, the first idea that comes
into minds was Fulani herdsmen.
Represented by the National Secretary, Alhaji
Baba Usman Ngelzerma, MACBAN noted that
south east was a good host which was reason
why it condemns all forms of violence and
criminalities with its patrons such as the Sultan
of Sokoto, the Emir of Kano and the Lamido of
Adamawa.
The group however said it wants an
establishment of Fulani Youth Vigilante group,
noting that “the Fulani Youth Vigilant body will
be working with the security, the neighborhood
watch or vigilante to ensure security in all
communities, as it was done in Enugu state.
“We will solicit for your support and
cooperation in adopting dialogue where
problems exist as a means of brokering peace
and to report cases against our members to
either the Fulani Youth Vigilante Group, state
or local branch of the association,” Kirowa said.
Chairman of the South East Governors Forum
and Governor of Ebonyi state, Engr. Dave
Umahi who was represented by his Deputy, Dr.
Kelechi Igwe stated that the region cannot
engage in policy of exclusion to limit any
farmer or herder, but that rules of
engagement should be observed in every
relationship.
Igwe said “We will continue to accommodate
the Miyetti Allah but our plea to them is that as
we are magnanimous to allow settlers, every
community has a custom that need not to be
violated. It is the violation that breeds
problem.
“I believe that at the end, resolutions will
generate further national dialogue, promote
agenda setting and a solution to the lingering
national insecurity. All we need is the good
idea of one or two men to find direction and I
believe this summit will do that.”
On its part, the Commissioner in charge of
Human Rights in the Police Service
Commission, Mr. Rommy Mom lamented the
inadequacy of the Nigeria Police personnel,
noting that today Nigeria boasts of under 350,
000 police officers.
“This translates to 1.6 police officers to every
100,000 Nigerian, which is a far cry from the
world standard of 225 police officers to every
100,000 people. In some local governments,
you have less than 10 police officers.
“Lack of data is a major challenge to the extent
that even the Inspector general of Police is not
very sure of the exact number of police
officers under his command. Electronic data is
very important,” Mon said.
He also stated that it was high time Nigeria
embraced the use of Information
Communication Technology, ICT, and other
equipment for policing the country.

Taaaa@aaaaaaa!

Looks like the agenda is real and the plans are well in motion. "Vigilante" in the Southeast, then Southsouth and Southwest may later follow.
Why is it so difficult for these people to let go of their 20th century method of cattle rearing by roaming around the country and embrace the civilized way of ranching?

Fulanization loading .....

SouthEast make una no gree oooo! Na rat wey dey house dey show others road to enter house!
If una allow them infiltrate your security I swear I will leave this country for good.

miyetti allah is a group of senseless and desperate id*ots. are there igbo vigilante group in the north?


SE governors shouldn't consent to such request. those herders are beasts and as such they don't deserve to stay close to sensible humans. "give them an inch, they will think they are rulers"

Usman danfo tried it,it never worked...fulani hegemonies is a total failure...will never work again.for the fact it didn't work when little or nothing was known about their plans,imagine now that their evil plot shines like sunlight.

They the fulanis are only just joking
