The acting Inspector General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, has disclosed that the Miyyeti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has agreed with security agencies to flush out the remnants of suspected bandits hiding in various bushes.

If the dialogue fails, we shall take necessary actions against them. We will take measures to dialogue with the bandits to become better citizens, but if that fails, we will deal with them.

“We have discussed with them and they have agreed to work with us and they agreed that those bandits in the bush are not all of Fulani extraction. So they are ready to work with us to flush them out.”
Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu also told newsmen that in line with the master plan of President Muhammadu Buhari, the delegates met the Fulani leaders on how to integrate them into the planning.
