Captain Umar Aliyu has blamed Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria for the current security situation in the country.
Aliyu, who is a veteran security resource and solutions
consultant and an ex-military intelligence officer, said the Miyetti Allah
group made the Fulani ethnic nationality the face of cattle breeders and
bandits in Nigeria.
He narrated that since the beginning of the farmers and
herdsmen crisis, the Miyetti Allah has continued to play ethnic politics rather
than denounce itself from alleged crimes
“They are busy playing local champion and ethnic champion
and got themselves stuck in a situation that they have nothing to do with.”
Captain Aliyu made this assertion on a program in Osogbo,
Frank Talk, monitored by our correspondent.
The security expert said over 200 ethnic nationalities in
Nigeria, and “they can’t just jump overnight and start pointing fingers at a
particular one.”
“Nigerians insecurity has gone out of hands. We got it wrong
ab initio as back as 2016. We had the same kind of attack when the Agatu were
killed in hundreds. The same in Plateau state where newborn babies were smashed
unto walls like tomatoes. There is no factually any state they will not give
you one gory story of herdsmen turning rough and bandits.
“These people are sleeping with our women, killing our
children across all the 36 states, not only in Oyo and Ondo alone. And our
leaders are there, sleeping.
“Of course, Sunday Igboho will take over because they are
petrified and need succour. Of course, they will follow him. It is a simple
strategic, security situation and strategic intelligence. All we know how to do
is to convey stakeholders’ forums and ceremonies. Beyond that, we don’t see
anything on the ground.
“What would you expect? Those that should stand up and speak
for you seem to be the problem. Then suddenly, a reformed renegade packed up.
“Unfortunately in this country, When a crime is committed,
we start looking at excuses to brown the act rather than focusing on the
people.
“For example, is in a state where there is a sitting
governor, bandits are asking for five million tax every month. It has gotten to
the state where they are now collecting tax.
The security expert explained that there is a deadly threat
that is growing every day. “It is called outrage.” and called on the federal
government and state governors to quickly do something about it.
“There is a national outrage index that is being fed
gradually. It is like a balloon, and one day, a very tiny pin will burst it.
2023 is very far.” he added.
