Miyetti Allah Calls For Sunday Igboho’s Arrest Over Statement On Fulani Cattle Breeders
  • PublishedMarch 2, 2024

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has called for the arrest of Sunday Igboho over his statement on Fulani cattle breeders.

MACBAN while responding to a recent viral video where Igboho was seen making inflammatory statements, demanding the expulsion of all Fulani cattle breeders from Yoruba land, said the statement amounted to treason.

Igboho in the video asserts his intention to drive out Fulani herders from the South West, citing grievances and escalating tensions between ethnic groups in the region.

MACBAN in a press statement by its national president, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, noted that Igboho’s bold proclamation sent shockwaves through the community, prompting swift reactions from various quarters.

“We call on the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute Sunday Igboho for making this unlawful statement that amounts to treason because he is asking for the actualisation of Oduduwa nation.

“His statements are unlawful. If Nnamdi Kanu will be held behind bars for a similar offence, we see no reason why Sunday Igboho will be allowed to go scot-free without being arrested and prosecuted.”
