Recently it was alleged that some gunmen on Saturday, reportedly abducted 10 members of the Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Obene Community, Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The Chairman of Ogbaru Local Government Area (LGA) of Anambra, Mr Arinzechukwu Awogu, has said that no herdsman was kidnapped nor cows rustled in the area.
Awogu stated this in a statement issued in Awka and made available to newsmen on Monday.
He described as misleading, a report credited to the Southeast Chairman, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, that 10 herdsmen were kidnapped and 300 cows rustled.
He explained that there was a misunderstanding between farmers in Okija, in Ihiala LGA, and the herdsmen, which made the herders flee the area to safety.
Meanwhile IPOB has reacted to the alleged story.
IPOB Press Release explained that;
We, the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to raise the alarm over the deployement of terrorists in the South East region under the guise of security agents by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The Fulani-controlled Government of Nigeria has started once again to deploy more military and police personnel to South East to clear the way for the fulani jihadists and terrorists to invade the region and take over the land.
We are calling on every Indigenous tribe in Nigeria to be prepared because their plan is to start with South East and pursue their conquest to other regions. So nobody should think that their own region is free from these jihadists.
This is their agenda of 200 years ago which they planned to actualise in 2022 but we must resist them. The Nigeria terrorists nation and its security agencies raised false alarm of missing 10 to 300 cows. This is only a smoke screen to invade our land They think we are fools, but they will fail as they used to fail. Since Fulani bandits and terrorists masquerading as herdsmen started invading ancestral Communities in Nigeria and killing innocent citizens without provocation, latest being the Benue incident where over 20 folks were slaughtered one day, how many of the perpetrators have been brought to book? Now they alleged that cows are missing and they are deploying troops in search of it.
The global world should take note of the plans of these jihadists in security uniforms in Nigeria. Furthermore, the world must look into the constant killing of innocent citizens in the south Eastern States without cause.
Nigeria security agencies have mapped out this region for total destruction and exterminations.
