The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, on Tuesday threatened to institute a legal
action against Anglican bishops for describing violent herdsmen as terrorists.
Recall that an Anglican bishops
in Nigeria had called on President Muhammadu Buhari to declare armed herdsmen
as terrorists.
However, MACBAN, while insisting
they are not terrorists, admonished the bishops to withdraw their remark.
Speaking with Vanguard, the
National Coordinator of MACBAN, Alhaji Garus Gololo said herdsmen have the
right to graze anywhere across the country.
According to Gololo, “We are not
happy with this comment coming from the Bishops who are spiritual heads of the
Anglican Church; we want them to withdraw it.
“We are not criminals and the
President has nothing to do with us. We are not terrorists, we are peacekeeping
citizens.
“We have the right to graze
anywhere in the world, not even in Nigeria, because that is the business we
came for. So, if the Bishops ask the President to declare herdsmen as
criminals, so every man they see rearing cow will be killed. It is very wrong.
“We are not happy with this
comment and if they make comments as such next time, we will challenge it in
the court.”
