The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has praised the Anambra State administration, led by Charles Soludo, for rescuing eleven abducted herders and their cows.

In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Friday, MACBAN’s South-East Zonal Chairman, Gidado Siddiki, expressed his gratitude.

The herders were kidnapped by hoodlums a few days ago at their settlement in Obene village, Ogbaru Local Government Area, Anambra, with over 300 cows reported missing.

However, 10 of the abducted herders were recently discovered, and a search group retrieved several cows, putting partnered security agencies at risk.

According to Siddiki, the Obene episode was one of numerous cases of hoodlums attacking herders in various parts of the state.

He was, however, pleased with the speed with which the abducted ranchers were rescued, as well as the part performed by the state administration.

He expressed optimism that the last person and animals will be recovered in good condition.

The MACBAN zonal chairman stated that the association was cognizant of the Governor Chukwuma Soludo-led administration’s emphasis on security and protection of lives and property.

“We pledge our unalloyed support to the governor, knowing full well that without a safe and secure environment, our business is bound to suffer serious losses.

“We believe that the governor’s zero tolerance for criminality will provide adequate protection for herders, as long as they remain law-abiding while plying their legitimate trade,” he said.
