The Living Perfect Master and founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, has said that the report that Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) had urged President Bola Tinubu to arrest and prosecute Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemi popularly known as Sunday Igboho for treason because he stated that he returned back to Nigeria to help eradicate armed herders harbouring in the deep forests of South West and carrying out attacks against farmers and traditional rulers, has been described by as very much the character of MACBAN because throughout the 8 years administration of Muhammadu Buhari, this same cattle breeders association was known for backing terrorism of armed herders.
Maharaj Ji who described MACBAN as a terrorists sympathiser, recalled that on 26th of June 2018, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) backed terrorists who massacred hundreds of Plateau state natives when it described the attacks on some communities in Plateau State as an act of retaliation over the killing of 300 cows belonging to its members.
The Living Perfect Master recalled that the suspected herdsmen had around June 26th 2018 attacked Riyom, Barakin Ladi and Jos South local government areas of the state, killing over 100 persons, but Miyetti Allah’s statement came even as fresh attacks on Kwi village in Riyom local government area claimed one more life in the early hours of the same period in 2018 despite the dusk-to-dawn curfew declared in the three local government areas.
Maharaj Ji, therefore, said it didn’t come as a surprise when MACBAN called for the arrest and prosecution of Sunday Igboho for threatening to wipe out terrorists masquerading as herders killing residents of South West but rather than commend the Yoruba nation for volunteering to eliminate terrorists, MACBAN was rather displaying its support for terrorists by calling for the arrest and prosecution of Sunday Igboho.
He said it is unambiguous that only those who sponsor terrorists wouldn’t be happy when someone decides to eradicate terrorists.
Maharaj Ji recalled that MACBAN’s National President, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, made the call in response to Igboho’s remarks that Fulani herders should be expunged from the Southwest, or the whole of Nigeria, if they are above the law.
He also recalled that Igboho, who recently returned to Nigeria after about two years of detention in Benin Republic, accused Fulani herders of killing farmers in the Southwest.
However, Ngelzarma described Igboho’s remark as an unlawful comment that amounts to treason.
In a statement he signed, Ngelzarma said: “We call on the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute Sunday Igboho for making this unlawful statement that amounts to treason because he is asking for the actualisation of Oduduwa nation.
“His statements are unlawful. If Nnamdi Kanu will be held behind bars for a similar offence, we see no reason why Sunday Igboho will be allowed to go scot-free without being arrested and prosecuted.”
Maharaj Ji, however, described the position of MACBAN as preposterous, puerile, irrational, and irresponsible just as the He fully backs Sunday Igboho and any patriotic groups willing to wipe out terrorists of any dimension even if they are herders because of the massive damage and mass killings that these armed terrorist herders committed between 2015 to 2023 when the then president Muhammadu Buhari looked the other way and allowed armed Fulani terrorists to unleash a regime of mayhem and mass killings which the likes of MACBAN actively supported.
Maharaj Ji carpeted MACBAN for being clever-by-half by bringing in the name of Nnamdi Kanu in its unwise call for the arrest and prosecution of Sunday Igboho even as the Maharaj Ji through the One Love Family Minister for Information, Ojo Mogbadewa, said it is a notorious fact that former President Buhari arrested Nnamdi Kanu because the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) were actively spreading the story that the real Muhammadu Buhari had died and that a body double from Sudan was the one acting in his place. In the case of Sunday Igboho, he stated his resolve to wipe off terrorists. Maharaj Ji thinks MACBAN trued to smuggle the name of Nnamdi Kanu in an unrelated matter to curry the sympathy of the South East. Maharaj Ji however wants the MACBAN to know that Igbos are as victimised as the Yorubas from the incessant bombardments of their farming communities by terrorist herders which in any event is the reason why most Nigerians must back any initiative to curb the attacks of armed herders.
It will be recalled too that when the killings became worrisome in the South West and the Governors of the South West led then by the late Ondo state governor Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), decided to set up the Amotekun vigilante group, it was MACBAN and then president Muhammadu Buhari that kicked against the move and openly canvassed support for the occupation of forestry reserves by armed Fulani terrorists masquerading as herders.
“So, we are not surprise that MACBAN is panicking as soon as Sunday Igboho returned to Nigeria after escaping for his dear life when then president Muhammadu Buhari made several attempts on his life including sending armed DSS and soldiers to attack Sunday Igboho’s Ibadan home killing many of his relatives during the night time attacks.
We are 100% sure that all right-thinking Nigerians would want to support Sunday Igboho and any true Nigerian to eradicate armed herders from the entirety of South-West and therefore demanding that the Security Forces allow volunteers in the South-East, North-East, South-South, North Central to similarly invade their forests to arrest armed herders hibernating in our forests, going by the fact Nigerian Army recently supported Sunday Igboho remarks that he will take out all killer herders in the forest of South West.
This is the more reason why state police is important to guide and protect the citizens of the states against unnecessary preventable lashes that have created doubts in our ability and capacity to tolerate each other in times of National cohesion.
