Chief of Defence Staff, (CDS) General Abayomi Gabriel Olonishakin has vowed to fish out the Fulani herdsmen behind the recent attacks in some parts of the country.
The CDS, represented by Defence Headquarters’ Director of Administration, Maj- Gen. Fatai Alli, told leaders of Meyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association at a meeting in Abuja, that the military will not tolerate any form of violence from any group that takes up arms against another.
During yesterday’s meeting, the military chief and Miyetti Allah leaders expressed concern over the incessant attacks.
The CDS said he had constituted a committee to interface with stakeholders.
He said: “We call on all to shealth their swords and embrace peace or else the full wrath of the military will come down on these perpetrators.
“We are a responsible military and we respect the rules of engagement and our operation is in line with best international best practices.”
Leader of Miyetti Allah, Senator Kabir Alkali, said his group welcomed the president’s crack down order on those attacking communities.
He lamented that millions of cows had been taken away by Boko Haram terrorists in the Northeast states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.
