The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has urged the Federal Government to declare the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association and other factions attached to it as a terrorist group.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and Miss Zainab Yusuf, HURIWA slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for “overlooking the series of open threats by the Miyetti Allah to send armed vigilantes to the South-East”.
The statement reads: “Miyetti Allah are suspects behind the spate of attacks targeting government institutions like the High Court in Ebonyi state, and security forces in the South-East because of their past threats to send armed Fulani vigilantes to the South East region.
