Ohanaeze Kicks Against Miyetti Allah Vigilance Group In Igboland

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has vehemently opposed any attempt by Miyetti
Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) to establish
any form of vigilante group in Igboland.

Ohanaeze spoke on the heels of disclosure by Miyetti Allah that
it has plans to establish vigilance groups in the South-East to
protect its members from hoodlums.

Miyetti Allah disclosed this at the South-East Security Summit
in Enugu.

But in a statement through Emeka Atama, the Media Adviser to its
President General, Nnia Nwodo, Ohanaeze vowed to resist any attempt
by Miyetti Allah to establish vigilance group in the
South-East.

Ohanaeze stated: “These people (Miyetti Allah) have ravaged our
farms, raped our women and slaughtered their husbands.

“As at today they technically enjoy immunity from arrest and
prosecution. They freely display AK47 rifles not permitted to be
used by civilians.

“Extending this measure to them will turn them into an army of
occupation and invite unavoidable confrontations with our Youth,”
Ohanaeze stated.

Ohanaeze, therefore, warned that it would resist such a policy
with every might available to them.
