NANS Threaten To Unleash Terror on Fulani Herdsmen.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), southwest Zone has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to proscribe the Miyetti Allah Castle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN).

In a statement jointly signed by the Chairmen of NANS in Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo States on Wednesday, the student’s umbrella body in Nigeria threatened to unleash terror on killer Fulani herdsmen in the region.

 “President Muhammadu Buhari should immediately proscribe the Miyetti Allah Castle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) for shielding killer-Fulani herdsmen and promoting the wanton killings and destruction of property in the South West region,” the group said.

“If the activities of these marauding Falani herdsmen in Yoruba land is not checked by the Federal Government, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies, we will unleash terror on Fulani herdsmen who are killing our people on a daily basis.

 “We are declaring total war on the killer-herdsmen in the South West region. We can no longer fold our arms and watch these criminal elements continue to kill our people.

 “We will no longer do nothing while these strangers destroy Yoruba land. We will fight them with everything we have.”

“Many parts of the South West region, notably, Igangan in Oyo State, Imeko, Eggua and Iselu in Ogun State, Ilesha-Akure express road, Ife-Osun express road, Eti Ooni river and Esa Oke-Ekiti express road have been turned into war zones, where people are being kidnapped, raped and slaughtered following persistent attacks by marauding Fulani herdsmen.

 “Of note is the recent Igagan incident, where Fulani herdsmen have dominated the community, perpetrating their heinous acts

 “We want to sound a note of warning to these killer herdsmen to desist from their persistent attacks on Yoruba land as nobody has a monopoly of violence. We are ready to match these attackers of Yoruba race with the same violence that have subjected us to.

 “However, we want to enjoin our brothers and sisters to continue to maintain peace and calmness. We are for a united Nigeria and we continue to demonstrate the ‘Omoluabi’ and leadership traits we are known for in the South West,”.
