A group known as the Plateau Patriotic Front (PPF) has asked the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) to show solid proof that Fulani people are facing unfair treatment in Plateau State.
This came after a statement from Bello Gotomo, the National Secretary of MACBAN, who said the attacks and killings in the state by Fulani militias were caused by injustice faced by Fulani communities.
But in response, Mani Imman, who is the National Coordinator of PPF, asked MACBAN to provide clear and undeniable evidence that Fulani people are being denied justice or have been left out of important decisions in the state.
Imman said Gotomo’s claims sound imaginary and far from the truth. He accused Gotomo of indirectly admitting that Fulani groups are involved in the violence that has led to the loss of many lives in villages across Plateau.
Imman further called on security agencies to arrest and investigate Gotomo, saying his statements suggest he knows those responsible for the killings.
According to him, Gotomo’s words were not only careless but also looked like a public confession. He said it clearly shows that Fulani militias are behind the attacks and that MACBAN may be supporting them.
