The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has called on the Federal Government to use the ECOWAS transhumance certificate protocol, to check influx of herdsmen from neighboring countries into Nigeria.
The Miyetti Allah call was contained in a statement, jointly signed and issued by Alhaji Muhammad Kiruwa, President, and Alhaji Baba Ngelzarma, National Secretary, of the association, on Thursday, in Abuja. Ngelzarma, who explained that the advice was part of resolutions reached at the end of a one-day National Executive meeting of the association with its Chairman, Board of Trustees, Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, held in Abuja. He said that the meeting was called to review the deteriorating security situation in the country, as it affected its members and the continued stereotyping, by the social and the mass media, that all herdsmen were criminals and bandits.
