- A social cultural group has called for an end to the killings across the country

- Ohanaeze Ndigbo urged the president to proscribe Miyetti Allah and prosecute its leaders

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo group has called on the federal government to proscribe the Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) over the continued killing by suspected herdsmen across various states in Nigeria.

The group also urged President Muhammadu Buhari and the federal government to ensure that the leaders of MACBAN are prosecuted.

A statement signed by Emeka Attamah, the special adviser to John Nnia-Nwodo on media and publicity said, the attacks in Plateau, Benue, Zamfara states among others are condemnable.

Sun reports that Attamah also called for a rejig of the present security leadership, stop further killings and appease the families and communities affected by the senseless killings across the country.

“If government could label IPOB a terrorist organisation, there is no reason the Miyetti Allah, the umbrella body of cattle herders, should not be proscribed and their leaders prosecuted,” Attamah said.
