  • Post category:Insecurity

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has revealed that approximately 15 individuals were killed in what they allege was an invasion of their communities in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State. The group also claimed that 78 houses belonging to their members were set on fire and over 2,000 cattle are still missing as a result of the invasion.

Nuru Abdullahi, the Plateau State chairman of MACBAN, addressed journalists, stating, “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.”

Abdullahi further expressed concerns about the presence of trained militias recruited to drive out Fulani people from Plateau State, calling on the federal government to urgently intervene and prevent further escalation of the situation. He emphasized the need for immediate action to protect lives and property.

In response to the situation, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State imposed a 24-hour curfew in Mangu LGA in order to restore law and order and prevent further loss of lives and property.
