Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) says it lost seven poeple and 850 cattle in communal clash last month in Zangon-Kataf local government area of Kaduna state.
MACBAN’s Director of Media and Publicity, Ibrahim Bayero, said this at a press conference on Thursday.
The killings came after several peace efforts by concerned stakeholders of Fulani, Hausa and Atyap groups in Kataf chiefdom and environs.
Bayero said: “There were several attacks on Fulani people and their livestock in Zangon-Kataf and surrounding local governments in recent weeks.The association, therefore, views the renewed violence on its members as provocative, mindless, deliberate and criminal acts capable of endangering more chaos to the entire Southern Kaduna.
“We commiserate with the families of the deceased and those who lost valuable wealth during the violence.
“The government should pay adequate compensation for the lives of our members who were killed during the attacks as well as for their wealth that was heartlessly destroyed.”
