The Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Associatio­n of Nigeria (MACBAN), Nasarawa State chapter, Mohammed Hussaini, has said the associatio­n is partnering security agencies to expose criminals in the state.

The chairman stated this yesterday in an interview with

the News Agency of Nigeria

(NAN) in Lafia. According to him, the partnershi­p is part of the collective efforts to ensure the state is rid of criminals, adding that security is everybody’s business and not that of the security agencies alone.

“The efforts have yielded a lot of results, leading to the arrest of criminals across the state.

“The kidnappers that killed a man in Lafia recently, after collecting ransom from his family, were arrested by the Fulani vigilantes while trying to dispose the corpse in a bush.

“The two arrested kidnappers have been handed them over to the police,” the chairman said.

Hussaini also said that the associatio­n had set up committees to expose criminal elements among the Fulanis, adding that the associatio­n would pursue the assignment to the logical conclusion.

“Let me tell you, so many bad eggs among our people, the Fulanis, were exposed and apprehende­d.”

He explained that the associatio­n was determined to redeem the image of its members and strengthen relationsh­ip with other groups for the overall developmen­t of the stat, in particular and the country in general.

The chairman called on the members of the associatio­n to continue to be law abiding and report any act of provocatio­n on them to the appropriat­e authoritie­s for prompt action.
