The Hausa/Fulani community at the Abia Regional Cattle Market, Lokpanta, has demanded inclusion in Ebubeagu security outfit.
This is just as the community refuted the rumour making the rounds that bandits and killer herdsmen are being haboured in the market.
This is coming on the heels of speculations that the Fulani bandits being pursued out of Ebonyi State by operatives of Eastern Security Network, ESN, are now taking refuge at the market.
Leaders of Hausa/Fulani community, cattle dealers and allied traders in the market who addressed newsmen, Monday, said those behind the rumour wanted to pitch them against the host communities.
