The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has condemned the fresh violence in Southern
Kaduna.
MACBAN’s spokesman, Ibrahim
Bayero Zango, said the renewed killings in Southern Kaduna should be blamed on
Zango Kataf youths.
Zango urged the Governor Nasir
El-Rufai government to ensure it identified and dealt with those behind the
violence.
In a statement he signed, Zango
lamented that “bloodthirsty” youths of Zango Kataf allegedly waylaid some
Fulani herdsmen on intentional routes.
He condemned what he called the
“viciousness and inhuman killings and destruction of property of innocent
nomads that took place in some parts Zango Kataf Local Government Area of
Kaduna State, particularly in some villages of Atyap Chiefdom.
“The question that requires to be
answered is the relationship between the farmland in dispute and the crisis,
which caused the killings of innocent Fulani nomads in the areas mentioned
above by the Kataf youth in which two innocent Fulani nomads were killed at
Ungwan Gaiya near the palace of the Chief of Kataf in the house of Alhaji Ja’e,
who has been leaving in the area for almost a century.
“The two men that were killed are
Abdullahi Ja’e and Pate Ja’e who were in their early thirties. Another two
young men with an elderly woman were killed at Ungwan Juju.
“Four others were killed at Gora
Sagwaza and one person was killed at Matai.
“We also condemned the barbaric
acts of the Kataf youths, who waylayed and killed some Fulani nomads, who were
passing by through the International Cattle Routes, which cross the areas on
their ways to Bauchi State.
“Their cattle and other
belongings were destroyed or stolen by the blood-thirsty Kataf youths. The
number of those that were killed and the sheep are yet to be confirmed.”
