Herdsmen Killings: IPOB Fires Warning To Miyetti Allah
The Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has fired a warning to the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria over cattle ranches in the zone.
In a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), warned the leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) against its alleged threat to South East geo-political zones following the rejection of cattle ranches in the zone.
The group warned that one inevitable outcome of any premeditated attack on Igbo people and easterners living in the north, âwill mark the beginning of the apocalyptic end of Nigeriaâ.
IPOB said the arrogant tone of the leader of Miyetti Allahâs threat against Igbo and their businesses in the North points clearly to an impending hostile response from them, which IPOB is both duty and honour bound not to ignore.
âWe must make it abundantly clear that any attack against Igbos and their businesses in the North will be met with commensurate response in the South.
âThreats and large scale invasions of territories in the Middle-Belt may have had the effect of subduing indigenous Tiv resistance to the Fulani hegemonic juggernauts in the Middle Belt and total collapse of morale in the West, giving what happened at Ado-Ekiti PDP rally on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.â
âThose northern voices who continually pressured Igbo leaders and governors to mistakenly ban IPOB are today silent against the murderous antecedents of their own kith and kin, the Fulani herdsmen.
âHad IPOB not been ill-advisedly banned by South East governors and Igbo socio-cultural leaders, MACBAN would not have had the guts to issue such an insulting statement against Igbo and their business interests in the North.
âOne inevitable outcome of any premeditated attack on Igbo people and easterners living in the North will mark the beginning of the apocalyptic end of Nigeria as we know it.
âThe sensible decision of, hitherto, docile South East governors to avoid wholesale breakdown of law and order in their region, through the banning of herdsmen activities, should be applauded by Arewa Consultative Forum, Sokoto Caliphate and all advocates of peaceful coexistence in Nigeria, not derided through the mouthpiece of Fulani herdsmen, the MACBAN.
âGiving that 70 percent of Nigeriaâs land mass is in the North, as we have been boastfully reminded by many government officials and core northerners over the years, it stands to reason and common sense that ranching activity is better sited at the North, not âtinyâ âlandlockedâ South-East.
âAll South East and South South governors must be guided by a popular proverb in Igboland that says, only an irrational man kills his native doctor when those who wish to poison and harm him are still very much around and multiplying.â
