11 Herders, 33 Cattle Missing In Anambra – Miyetti Allah Raises Alarm
No fewer than 11 members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) have reportedly gone missing, along with 33 cattle, in Anambra State.
The MACBAN and the Association of Non-Indigenes in Anambra State (ANIAS) have also refuted claims that two suspected kidnappers recently arrested in Mgbakwu, Awka North Local Government Area, are affiliated with their organisations.
The two groups have called for a thorough investigation into the alleged kidnappings.
They emphasised that MACBAN members are non-indigenes who have established lawful and visible means of livelihood in the state.
In a statement signed by Gidado Siddiki, Deputy Director General of MACBAN, the association stressed that all criminals, regardless of their ethnic or tribal background, should be held accountable under the law.
“Criminals do not discriminate based on background; they are solely driven by the potential for ransom. The individuals arrested in this region are unknown to us and are likely infiltrators,” Siddiki said.
He urged security agencies to investigate kidnapping incidents in the state thoroughly and ensure those responsible face the full consequences of their actions.
Siddiki also noted that 20 cattle belonging to Haruna Mohammed were killed, and 13 cows owned by Ibrahim Mohammed went missing along with the owner in the same area.
He added that due to the deteriorating security situation earlier this year, all legitimate members of MACBAN have since vacated the region.
In a separate statement, Prince Chigozie Nweke, President of ANIAS, confirmed that their organisation maintains a database of all non-indigenes in Anambra State, including members of MACBAN.
