The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has disclosed that about 15 people were killed following an alleged invasion of their communities in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The group also claimed that 78 houses belonging to their members were burnt while over 2,000 cattle are still missing after the invasion.
Plateau state chairman of MACBAN, Nuru Abdullahi who addressed journalists, said;
On the invasion of Fulani communities in villages of Mangu, we have recovered 15 bodies killed on Friday. About 78 houses were burnt down. Cattle numbering 2,000 are still missing. This unfortunate thing is moving its head quickly into other LGAs of the state to annihilate Fulani completely in the state.
“There is an intelligence report that there are trained militias recruited and brought to fight and chase all Fulani out of Plateau State in the name of crisis. Therefore, at this point, we are still calling on the federal government to as a matter of urgency put a stop to what is happening in Mangu LGA.
