The Kano State Governor, Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, has
formally handed down a stern warning to Fulani herders not to get involved in
cattle rustling or banditry, saying, “anybody who is caught in such destardly
acts would face death penalty or life sentence”.
Governor Ganduje was speaking at Kadawa Garun Mallam Local
Government Area of the state, while vaccinating one million cows on the formal
launch of the State-Wide Mass Cattle and Small Ruminants Vaccinations over the
weekend.
He said, “Since our negotiation with the Fulani herders to
stop cattle rustling, Kano has seen peace and development, while government
continues doing good for the herders, therefore, any move to get involved in
criminalities would be faced with stiff penalty”.
Ganduje reminded them that his government has done
marvelously on Fulani herders in Kano, from building a whole Ruga settlement
for them to keeping to annual vaccinations, therefore the herders have no
reason whatsoever to be criminals.
The Governor reminded them that last year they vaccinated
703,000 cattles, with 664,000 ruminants and they have not faced any infectious
outbreaks, making them target one million cattle to produce healthy animals.
“We have succeeded overtimes in tackling Cattles Rustling
and Banditry in Kano, and anybody who mute the idea of getting involved in
either rustling or Banditry would be jail for life or sentence to death without
option”.
He added that open grazing is today an old model and
gradually is been phased out, therefore Kano has since adopted new model or
Ruga settlement which would give the herders economic viability.
