The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Cross River state Branch, has described as “devilish and wicked” the rumour that herdsmen are plotting to attack Obanliku area of the state.
Hassan Abo, chairman of the branch, said, “It is not true that Fulani herdsmen are planning to attack any community in Obanliku Local Government or any other area in the state.
“As an umbrella body of the breeders association, we want to state clearly that we are peace loving people, residing here in Cross River State.
“We urge government and the security agencies to bring anyone found wanting to book. I want to applaud Gov. Ben Ayade for his efforts in protecting lives and property of all residents in the state.”
