Following the plan of Miyetti
Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, to establish vigilante
group in the Southeast region, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council worldwide on
Sunday demanded an immediate sack of Fulani youths serving as gatemen for Igbo
in the zone.
The apex Igbo socio-cultural
group made this known in a statement signed by its President-General, Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and made available in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi
state capital.
The statement reads in part: “The
truth must be told that Fulani Youths Vigilante groups have been existing here
in the South East Nigeria for decades unofficially, and we appreciate the
Comments of Chief Nwodo Jnr that he will resist the establishment of Fulani
Youth vigilante group.
“We observed that over 90% of the
mansions and houses owned by igbo politicians, Igbo businessman and opinion
leaders are keeping Fulani Youths as GATEMEN and WATCHMEN, including the house
of Chief Nnia Nwodo at Enugu, we now wonder, how can someone be shouting about
resisting Fulani Youths Vigilante groups when he had been paying the same
Fulani Youths as GATEMEN for decades.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council
worldwide observed that except We get rid of those Fulani Youths as Our GATEMEN
and WATCHMEN, Our outbursts against the Establishment of Fulani Youths
Vigilante groups are amount to nothing, when the Fulani Youths Vigilante groups
are unofficially operating in Our midst for Decades and Even most Tenants in
the South East prefer the Fulani Youths Vigilante guarding their streets than
our local Vigilante groups.
“Except Igbos do the needful, the
Fulani Youths Vigilante groups are unofficially operating in the South East,
and that’s what gave the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria
the effontery and Audacity to look at Our Leaders Face to Face at South East
Security Summit Enugu, and demand the official recognition of these Fulani
Youths operating as GATEMEN and WATCHMEN at Our houses as Vigilante groups,they
are fully aware of those guarding our Mansions in the South East are enough to
constitute a Militia to deal decisively against the people of the South East,
in our local adage” Oke nno n’ulo gwara Oke nno na ohia na Azu nno na ngiga,”
Ohanaeze youths stated.
