Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigerian (MACBAN) on Saturday said its attention has been drawn to the “unscrupulous action of Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State against our members who are bona fide citizens of the country.”

A statement by its spokesman, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, recalled that Fayose on Thursday inaugurated a vigilante group, Ekiti Grazing Enforcement Marshals (EGEM), popularly called ‘Anti-malu’ “in furtherance of his threat to banish our members from Ekiti State”.

It said Fayose unleashed the marshals “against our members whose herds of cattle had gone to a stream at Agon Bridge on Federal Polytechnic road between the time of 2:00 – 2:30 PM to quench their thirst on Friday 21st October 2016”.

Continuing, the statement sent to DAILY POST reads: “We have been reliably alerted an impeccable source in Ado- Ekiti that the Anti-maul vigilante group shot five cows and carted away with the meat but the herdsman was able to flee with the rest of his cattle.

“We are hereby constrained to implore the federal government through its security agencies to wade into this unprovoked and primitive aggression against our members, before this macabre incident develops into unquenchable inferno involving our members and Ekiti State government.

“No Cattle strayed into anybody’s farmland around that area in question. As such, the actions of the Anti-malu vigilante are not ant only provoking, but capable of creating uncontrollable scenarios whose ramification may go well beyond Ekiti State.

“As far as we know , Ekiti State is not an island of its own , but a State within the federal Republic of Nigeria and while the Governor is permitted to carry out actions geared towards protecting the interest of Ekiti State, such actions should follow the rule of law.

“We deplore this act of brigandage and call on Governor Ayodele Fayose to offer an unreserved apology to MACBAN, and equally set machinery in motion with a view to compensate our members who lost five cows in this primitive adventure.

“That the brutality of the Ekiti Grazing enforcement marshals (popularly known as Anti- malu) on herdsmen is even outside the time stipulated by that law (if the law exists at all).

“The federal overnment should therefore look into the actions and activities of this committee because we cannot fold our hands while the only means of survival of our members is taken away and destroyed.

“MACBAN has instructed victims of this aggression and its members nationwide to exercise maximum restrain while we work towards resolving this unfortunate incident through mature and civilized manners.

MACBAN further sympathized with the government of Kaduna State, Sokapu and entire Kaduna South inhabitants over the recent incident that had claimed so many lives as a result of a discord between our members and communities surrounding Godogodo environ.

“We see this act as an upsolute brutality exhibited by the perpetrators and condemnable in all its ramifications. We call on the security to do all it could to fish out and bring these criminals to book.”

Meanwhile, The Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Sokoto State Chapter, Alhaji Muhammadu Magaji, has warned its members not to graze their livestock on farm lands.

My brothers, has any of you ever thought of how gainful cattle ranches will be - healthy, less stressed cows, quality fresh milk, naira worth composte, healthy farm, healthy and educated cattle herders, plenty employment for citizens, more money and peace and harmony among all. Ayo don't take person cow do pepper soup and miyetti Allah think of ranches . Peace.

When in future we read headlines "1000 people killed in overnight raid at Ado Ekiti" who are we to blame? Ekiti people should rise up and prevent their State from being turned into a war zone. There's no difference between EGEM and cattle rustlers except of course that a Governor backed the rustling.

Miyetti is a fool.


I thought they were Libyans, Chadians and Niger thugs with these cows?

So Fayose kills 5 and you are mad. How many people have you animals killed that you are crying about 5 cows?

Fulani's are fools they never give press briefing when their brothers kill farmers,, but when people kill caws they run mouths, foolish usmanu Danfodio.

May God punish u and your entire generation of miyeti allah thunder fire u all including any of ur sympathizers n zombies

Why are other states not joining Ekiti to stop the criminal activities of these herdsmen? Of course I'm ashamed of my own cowardly governor in Enugu

Miyetti if you know you are above ekiti laws, stay away from ekiti. Gov fayose just in case there is any meat fest. I wan order for intestine (inu eran) in advance.

MACBAN further sympathized with the government of Kaduna State, Sokapu and entire Kaduna South inhabitants over the recent incident that had claimed so many lives as a result of a discord between our members and communities surrounding Godogodo environ.

You go around killing people all in the name of grazing and scream when you get the same treatment for violating a law put in place of ekiti...

I wonder why MACBAN is calling on the president to intervene when the presidency already claimed the herdsmen are from Libya, niger and Chad, Fayose and his "anti malu" team are simply defending the people of ekiti from foreigners as posited by the C in C...SMH

Imagine foreigners calling on the president to intervene, when the president already affirmed they are not nigerians...

Are you saying when there is a law, it shouldn't be enforced?

If that is the case buhari should send his soldiers back to Barracks and let us have peace.

The herdsmen should not be afraid of their cattle rather they should be afraid of the consequences of their actions.

If Ekiti state government don't kill herdsman impunity, herdsmen impunity will kill ekiti people.

Don't you agree?

Miyeti abi wetin una call una self. You better dont dare ekiti Afonja's. They are not the set of people that pray and fast when you attack

I guess fasting and pray is a type of weapon to overcome fulani raids...

The Fulanis are laws onto themselves..I just hope Ekiti anti Malu squad are up to the task when Fulanis from all over West Africa send their special cattle commando squad to decend on Ekiti for the next five years alongside with ground support from the Nigerian Army which to known to be an ally of the fulanis in such battles...I wish the people of Ekiti the best in the coming months because for sure the Fulanis will attack

This is interesting,
cattle rearers are now suing for peace instead of
their "attack then negotiate" tactics they usually
employ.

Thunder fire your papa there, went it come to Cows issue it will be no Man land abi? But went it come to killing the Igbos and other tribe it somebody Land? State assembly pass law and you said that you did not recognise it, if any thing or any Fulani kill any body they security should arrest this useless leader, i remember They are Buhari brothers and he give them power in ZA OZA ROO.

Sorry miyetti

You guys can't be treated with kid gloves.

Why don't U give press release/audience whenever your foot soldiers attack law abiding citizens?

Sorry we value human beings here

If the issue is rustling let them brand their cattle and then we can set up national or state database for the brands. This will work like trademarks. Making baseless threats is suicidal idea on herdsmen part.

I dont have any love lust for Fayose but on this , i support him. The Fulanis feel justified to kill people and people are not justified to kill their cow

So they are Nigerians Sharia law applied to all residents of states where it is been practiced irrespective of their religion. Now I think the meyeti meterolite should honor the laws of the state. No straying cows be it on farmlands or the streets, just negodu drinking water by the Polytechnic.


Fayose transfer window opens on Monday. You must enter Enugu this season.

all these mai malu keep spewing thrash, are cows citizens of Nigeria. why not get for ur sef a good ranch and breed ur cows. Hausa man and cheap article.

Ekiti people are more likely to eat the cows without any consequences.
Seriously, why has the miyetti Allah kept quiet all this while when the cattle herders destroying other people's livelihoods.
This is one example of how our federal system is crooked. Every state should have the right to determine how animals are reared within it's boundary.

I dont like Fayose for once. His action are usually irrationals. This Ekiti anti malu law indeed is a nice project if he can reasonably fine tune n equip them.
But Fayose did not establish this project in the best interest of the people. He is doing it for the coming election.

Deliberately causing trouble for the citizens. This Ekiti farmers are not well defended n equipped to ward off the well organized Muyetti commandos wen these Animals retaliate

The fulanis will definitely retaliate because the Myetti Allah has just said that.
This has confirmed that Fulani herdsmen are not govern by nigeria law. The man can only go to court instead of threatening Ekiti people for the Governor Irrational decision.

The fulani has no right to threaten or subtlety inciting his men against the entire state.

Now it is obvious given Buhari pedigree to damn consequences would outrightly turn deaf ears to the crime when fulani will eventually retaliate


My point is its the people that will surfer when this issues eventually escalate

Fsyose wants trouble that will make his citizens fall in sympathy for him.

This will help him during his relection.


FG will turn blind
Fayose will ride on peoples blood back to Government house

But FG will still win by deliberately turning the state to anarchy n lawlessness thereby issuing state of emergency.


I am a Yoruba man. I have no allegiance to both Fayose or PDP or Jonathan or ApC or buhari.

I am on the side of the people of Ekiti.

If you have friends from Ekiti warn them to leave the state because of the great tribulation that is coming.

Fulani dont forget.
The only thing here is that If Ekiti people are equal to the evil ahead.

This not a case of justifying weda buhari is right or Fayose is Hero this is the blood of innocent people that will die after this warning from Miyetti Allah

Winter is coming....

I think Fayose is obviously aware of the consequence of his action and he is prepared for It. His major aim is to make the entire Yoruba people hate Hausa Fulani and to bring the menace of the Fulani herdsmen to the international arena.

I agree they farmers in video aren't ready with Antiquated arms but the police still follow his command. The herdsman are only tough when people aren't firing back at them. They don't have enough arms to fight a whole state and this will likely ripple over to other southern states to clamp down. They can take issue to court instead of sending threats.

They don't need to kill cattle. They should confiscate then after they arrest and jail violators. Then state should sell of cow to raise funds for state. If no buyers eat cow.



I already listed ways for farmers to protect themselves.

They should go and sit down
Take your cows to your state
