‘Fulani Herders More From Bandits’ Attacks’, Macban Counter Plateau Cleric El-Buba

The Association of Cattle breeders of God Miyetti Nigeria (Macban) has responded to accusations by ulama based on the state of the state, the Prophet Jesus El-Buba, who accused Fulani’s pastor behind the attack and insecurity that was incessantly in the state.

El-Buba who is the founder and
President El-Buba Outreach Ministries International has, in a sermon, accusing that more than 80 percent of attacks carried out in the state carried out by the Fulani militia who is a member of the Association of God Miyetti.

Kleric further states that the idea that has long been held that the attack is often a clash of farmers-more must be discarded because they are pure genocide, terrorism, and efforts to withdraw the land.

He added that if the Association of God Miyetti had to call the shepherds to order, the attack would stop.

But when responding to accusations in a statement on Saturday, the National President of Macban, Baba Othman-Ngelzarma, denied the ulama by saying that Fulani’s pastors were not criminals but bandits and insecurity in states and countries in general.

Othman-N-Melzarma noted that it was contrary to what was made by many Nigerians, Fulani’s shepherd was made to bear the burden of such attacks because they were professionalized by indigenous people and security operators and suffered attacks released on them.

President Macban further stated that the situation was very bad so that every bandit attack in this state was associated with Fulani herds, who were too represented in violent conflicts, which made them target easy and killed every day. At the same time, their livestock were filled with their attackers.

He advised El-Buba and the highlands to not see all Fulani herds as criminals, because they remain the most vulnerable group because they live in the forest with their families and only depend on livestock to survive, making it easy targets for bandits, sadness, and kidnappers.
