The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, a cattle breeders association, has said that it is going spiritual against those opposing continued open grazing in Nigeria.
By thi, he said, it will invoke the wrath of God against them.
The spokesman for the group, Saleh Alhassan, stated this during a chat with PUNCH Live on Tuesday, noting that the association was also interested in legal and political solutions to the matter.
He said, “First, we take legal action; secondly, we’ll seek a political solution and then spiritual. We will invoke the wrath of God on those opposing the open grazing law,” Alhassan said.
As the paper also reports, Alhassan wondered why there was still violence in the South-East after herders had, according to him, left the region.
“That nonsense you see in the South-East is a manifestation of frustration… They will continue burning their cities, killing themselves.
“Now that the herders are not there, they are still killing themselves. Sometimes they wear Fulani attires to continue to commit heinous crimes.
“Now that the herders are not there, are they having peace in the East?
“Those Biafrans are shooting and killing their animals. Those making noise in the media are cattle traders. They will not go anywhere. The cows you see there now belong to the Igbo,” he was quoted as saying.
