One of the umbrella bodies of herdsmen in Nigeria, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, has said that at least 50 herders have been killed in the South-East in the last one month and his group will avenge their death.
The spokesman for the group, Saleh Alhassan, during an exclusive interview with the PUNCH on Thursday, urged security agencies to deal with “terrorists killing” Fulani herders in the South-East.
He was reacting to the killing of one of the commanders of Indigenous People of Biafra gunned down by security operatives last Saturday.
He said, “The security agencies should intensify efforts in dealing with all those terrorists killing Fulani herders, burning police stations, prisons and destroying institutions in the South-East.”
“So far, more than 50 herders have been killed in the South-East in the last one month, we have the record and the Igbo terrorists led by Nnamdi Kanu will pay for everybody they killed.
“It is unfortunate that they have forgotten history, how we saved a lot of Igbos in the North during the Civil War but now they are killing our people. They are making a grievous mistake. We will take necessary steps both legal and cultural steps to avenge the killings of our members.”
