Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has raised the alarm over incessant attacks on herders in Anambra State, alleging that herders leaving in some parts of the state are being attacked on daily basis.

The South-East Zonal Chairman of MACBAN, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, who disclosed this in a statement he made available to Journalists, in Awka, on Friday, called on the state governor, Willie Obiano, to intervene.

Siddiki said until recent attacks, including the one that happened at Ugbene community in Awka North Local Government Area of the State, on Wenesday, 15/12/2021, where one herder, Musa Adanmu was attacked by hoodlums in the area while on his grazing duty.

According to Siddiki in his statement; My attention was drawn to a video clip that goes viral about what happened at Ugbene community Awka North LGA, yesterday, being Wednesday 15/12/2021.

I make an enquiry and found out that actually, one Musa Adanmu was with his cattle at Ugbene community land as he spot someone coming to him violently,he asked the person what happened? The person didn’t tell him anything, The person just hold his tie and fall him down and matchet him on his forehead.and he also spotted some two persons coming with force towards them, on the process of defending himself he stabbed the person, and the person left him, that is how he escaped. And for the knowledge of everyone we have lost many herdsmen and their cattle in Awka North.

“The Fulani people in the South-East are not violent and we are not here to undermine the business of the people of the area.

Members of the association had enjoyed cordial relationships with their host communities in Anambra, particularly and the South-East region at large until the advent of insecurity across the country that has claimed many innocent lives.
