Nigerians on Social media have
called for the arrest of Chairman, North Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) Danladi Ciroma, for claiming that the
Sunday attack on Plateau State villagers was in retaliation to the death of
their cows.
Recall that the Chairman, North
Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN)
Danladi Ciroma, on Monday claimed that the killing of 86 persons in Razat,
Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi
Local Government Area l of Plateau State was in retaliation to the killing of
over 300 cows in the last few weeks by the villagers.
He was quoted as saying “These
attacks are retaliatory. As much as I don’t support the killing of human being,
the truth must be told that those who carried out the attacks must be on a
revenge mission.
“There have been recent reports
of cow rustling and destruction of farms between Berom farmers and Fulani
herdsmen. The people carrying out these criminal activities are well known to
the communities but the communities are hiding them.”
Reacting to the statement,
Nigerians on social media called for justice on Miyetti Allah for the killings.
They asked that Buhari should
declare them terrorists, wondering why the killers of innocent Nigerians were
still walking freely.
Here are some comments gathered from
Twitter:
@Ogbenidipo “Miyetti Allah
proudly defends the killing of over 300 people and nothing will happen to the
group. IPOB did NOT go about killing people and setting villages ablaze but the
group was proscribed and labelled a terrorist group. Bloody double standards
and demonic hypocrisy.”
@Ody4real “I mean, IPOB didn’t
kill a single person, yet Government treated them like Terrorists, killed
innocent people and locked the South East down for a long time, but Miyetti
Allah are openly admitting committing Mass Murder and that is about that.”
@Xantaplus “Dear @Mbuhari,
Danladi Ciroma, the Chairman, North Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breeders’ Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has taken responsibility for Plateau
killings. He said it was a revenge for 300 cows stolen or killed in the last
few weeks. What will you do?
@Segalink “Miyetti Allah like
SARS will kill you and nothing will happen because they are above the law as
empowered by the powers that be. I wonder how many people they asked who they
support on Twitter before cutting their lives short. Let self-genocidal
defenders take note.”
@Uncle Ajala “Miyetti Allah says
Plateau mass murder is revenge for stealing 300 cows from herdsmen. IPOB that
didn’t kill 10 people are terrorist group to Buhari’s FG, Fulani herdsmen that
av killed over 500 people, & not denying it are not terrorist to Buhari’s
FG. I hope you can see the hypocrisy.”
@Chreze “Miyetti Allah claimed
responsible for killing almost 100 persons and till now no arrest has been
made!
This is total madness!
@Goonvich “So what does it take
for this Miyetti Allah guys to be declared terrorists?
@Leonardduggh “Declare Miyetti
Allah as a terrorist group and treat them as terrorists. The same way IPOB were
treated.
Remember, IPOB never attacked and
killed innocent civilians while they sleep but were labeled terrorists.”
@Agorasblog “Why has the Army,
police, and DSS refused to act against terrorist Miyetti Allah? Buhari &
his Fulani people will NOT rule Nigeria forever. There will be a day of
reckoning.Those who abandoned their duties will be jailed. ”
@Ayshatou “Shocked and disgusted
by the barbaric killing of innocent lives in Jos how many more atrocities will
it take before @MBuhari handle Miyetti Allah same way he handled IPOB.”

How on earth is it possible for Buhari to fight Miyetti Allah when he's party to this heinous organization.
ReplyDeleteThe solution is to vote President Buhari out come 2019. Otherwise, Nigeria will catch fire.
