TEN members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Anambra State were abducted by suspected gunmen on Saturday.

The South-East Chairman of MACBAN Gidado Siddiki, who confirmed the incident to The Nation, said the herders were abducted at Obene Community in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra.

Siddiki said the gunmen, who stormed the herders’ settlement around 1:30 am on Saturday, also made away with about 300 cows.

He added that the gunmen were up to 40 in number, noting that they invaded the settlement with sophisticated weapons including guns, cutlasses, sticks and charms.

“As I speak to you now, I have reported the incident to the police and DSS for prompt action.”

Siddiki also said the kidnappers had established contact with the victims’ families, demanding N4 million and one gun as ransom.

He appealed to the kidnappers to release him those abducted and the cows.

According to him, the abductees were mere herders struggling to make ends meet.

He, however, commended Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo for initiating a peace and reconciliation committee to address the security challenges in the state and the South-East region at large.

The ICIR reached out to Anambra State police spokesman Ikenga Tochukwu, who confirmed the incident.

Tochukwu said he had just been briefed by the Seriki of the Fulani in the state about the incident.

He said the police will soon commence investigations.

“Yes, we have just been briefed of the incident, but we want the Miyetti Allah leadership to supply us with more information,” the police spokesman said.

Wetin dem use carry 300 cows

I wonder. The Seriki should be questioned properly. 300 cows ferried at the speed of light or snail speed without security chasing after them. In South East where there is police and military everywhere? In a landlocked Southeast that is smaller than Niger state? Ha ba.

Nigeria is a foolish country....

Those leaders are just sponsoring insecurity here and there.....

Today, herdman go kill person
Tomorrow, na unknown gunmen

This country is done for...

How is it possible for some niggarrs to cart away 300 cows without being apprehended

The story is either fake or those area police knew a lot about the case...

Good and bad at the same time.

Herders...... remember 27th April is closer

Wonderful esn at work

Total kidnapped is 310 cows

what ever herdsmen can do esn can do better

Fake news. Believe this at your own peril.

Believe this fake news at your own peril.

Fake news.

How real is this story?

How do you make away with 300 Cows in Anambra State without a trace.

Better for ESN/UGM to kinap cows than killing people anyhow.Police over to you.

Sad news

These unknown Gun men must have been born again for demanding only N4m and one gun.

Criminals and jobless people hiding under the cover of ipob esn to commit crimes.

Nigeria navy need to flush out those criminals hiding inside the forest of ogbaru.
