The Miyetti-Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN has pleaded with the Federal Government to deploy security agencies to Zamfara State to prevent the killings in some parts of the State.
According reports, at least seven people were killed after unknown gunmen went from house to house killing people in the Chafe local government area of the State.
National Secretary, MACBAN, Bello Gotomo, in an issued statement, said the attacks were carried out by an outlawed group tagged: “Yan Sa Kai group”. He called on the State Government to ban the activities of the group and ensure that the perpetrators of the killings were brought to book.
Furthermore, the association also called on the Federal Government to intervene, by deploying more security personnel to arrest not only the perpetrators but also their financiers.
Gotomo lamented that the new administration is being tested in the resurgence of this sectarian violence, adding that it is up to it to be firm from Day one in dealing with this unwanted calamity.
