Governor Abdullahi Audu Sule of Nasarawa declared on Thursday, January 26, that the herdsmen were killed through what looked like a drone attack. The Miyet\u00adti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) said since the military was the only au\u00adthority to deploy drone at\u00adtack, the Federal Govern\u00adment should wade into the matter to bring the culprits to book.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware that the Nigerian Air Force under\u00adtook an operation against terrorist targets in areas bordering Benue, Nasara\u00adwa and Taraba in the same period. Also, there was no report of cattle casual\u00adties mentioned in any of the reports in spite of the claim that the victims are Fulani who just redeemed their cattle from the Benue State government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmidst the confusion that has trailed these kill\u00adings, the deposed emir of Kano, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, recently added fuel to the raging inferno when he accused the Benue State governor, Dr. Samuel Ortom, as the architect of the killings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn what was seen as reprisal attacks, militant herdsmen mounted attacks on Benue communities bor\u00addering Nasarawa, shortly after Governor Sule an\u00adnounced the killings with\u00adout any shred of evidence to prove his claim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group further said: \u201cOn Thursday, last week, Governor Ortom informed Nigerians that there were premeditated plots by some highly-placed persons to assassinate him over the recent killings of herds\u00admen in Nasarawa State. He cautioned against inflam\u00admatory statements over security matters, stressing that Benue State is not in\u00advolved in the alleged kill\u00adings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the umbrella body of ethnic nationalities in the Middle Belt, the Forum is at a loss why the Nasarawa governor would just allege such a grievous crime with\u00adout any proof to buttress his claim. While the MBF is opposed to any form of extra-judicial killing, we are shocked at the state\u00adment by the Kano deposed emir attempting to rope Dr. Ortom on an issue that he (Sanusi) is not competent to speak on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the introduction of the anti-grazing law in Benue, there has been no love lost between Gover\u00adnor Ortom and supporters of murderous herdsmen who have always seen the promulgation of the law as targeted against them. In the wake of the enactment of the law, MACBAN and other Fulani groups vowed to ensure the anti-grazing law remains ineffective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, MBF said: \u201cMore worrisome, there have been sparks of violence among border communities between the two states that often cul\u00adminated into destruction of lives and property. All these orchestrated violence are aimed at weakening the resolve and commitment of the Benue State govern\u00adment to implement the an\u00adti-grazing law described by the herders as obnoxious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe find the inconsis\u00adtent reports on the recent alleged killings of Nasar\u00adawa herdsmen as yet an\u00adother ploy to rope Gover\u00adnor Ortom into a matter he is completely innocent of. For those who should know, deploying drone at\u00adtacks is completely the re\u00adsponsibility of the Federal Government. There has been no shred of evidence to suggest that the Benue State governor is involved in the alleged attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe completely disagree with the deposed Kano emir who is reputed to possess a penchant for in\u00adflammatory statements and even actions in the past, especially the murderous incident during the Gen. Sani Abacha regime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe MBF calls on him to exercise caution and desist from doing anything that is capable of undermining peaceful co-existence of Nigerians. He should allow the security agencies to do their jobs and stop fueling crisis where there is none. It becomes contemptible when those who are ex\u00adpected to moderate their views before members of the public and promote the peaceful co-existence of communities are the same people inflaming passion in a bid to enthrone chaos and anarchy in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Middle Belt Fo\u00adrum calls on the Federal Government to set up an independent probe of the Nasarawa killings with photos and pictures of the slain herders and also their cattle as bombs don\u2019t dis\u00adcriminate so as to ascertain the claims by the Nasarawa State governor and others alike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also call on Presi\u00addent Muhammadu Buhari to probe the killings of unarmed and defenceless citizens in various states of the Middle Belt region in the interest of justice and fair play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Ortom\u2019s tra\u00adducers must desist hence\u00adforth from accusing him falsely on a matter he is not involved as he remains the leader of Benue State who is not willing to let down his resolve in standing up for the democratic rights of his people in particular, and Nigerians in general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor equity and justice to hold sway, Nigerian lead\u00aders must learn to treat all citizens across political, ethnic and religious di\u00advides. We must eschew en\u00adthroning the supremacy of one ethnic nationality over others if we ever hope to build a just nation for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) has dressed down the gov\u00adernor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Audu Sule, and the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, over their comments on the alleged killing of no fewer than 37 herdsmen in Rukubi com\u00admunity of Doma Local Gov\u00adernment Area of Nasarawa State on Wednesday, Janu\u00adary 26, 2023.
