The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ban the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN)
Ayokunle on Saturday, August 31, appealed to President Buhari to denounce his membership of the herders’ group.
Speaking in Lagos on Saturday, August 31, at a summit, CAN’s president, Samson Ayokunle, alleged that MACBAN is instrumental to some of the attacks carried out by suspected herdsmen in Nigeria.
In his statement during the summit, Ayokunle said the menace of insecurity is becoming unbearable to everyone in the country, even for security agencies.
According to Legit, The association’s president therefore appealed to President Buhari to renounce his membership of MACBAN and ban the group immediately.
He said: “Anything that smacks of mutual suspicion should be avoided in the interest of national unity. The federal government should immediately disarm and prosecute the Fulani herdsmen terrorists that have been recorded as one of the deadliest terrorists groups in the world.
“The group of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association which openly supported the activities of the murderous Fulani herdsmen be identified and banned immediately.
“President Buhari should suspend his membership and patronage of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association until he leaves office to reduce tension.
