The Miyetti Allah cattle breeders have been warned by the Coalition of Southern and Middle Belt Youth Leaders (COSMBYLA) not to create security vigilantes in any of the states across the nation because doing so would amount to a declaration of war and chaos.
In a statement released on Monday and signed by its president-general, Mr. Goodluck Ibem, the umbrella organization for all youth groups in the South-East, South-South, South-West, and Middle-Belt noted that the push for vigilante security “confirms a plot to Fulanize the country under the pretense of floating a security outfit in a land that does not belong to them.”
Ibem compared the security organization to “Fulani Jihadists and terrorists,” noting that Miyetti Allah wants to utilize it to take over the nation and convert it to Islam.

He added that members of Miyetti Allah who have previously admitted to terrible attacks and the murder of innocent people will be imprisoned for their crimes against humanity in safer regions.
Miyetti Allah assuming the authority and duties of a governor is treason, according to Ibem, and is a criminal act.
The statement reads in part; “What interest does Miyetti Allah have to establish a Vigilante group in Benue, Ondo, Anambra and other states?
“Are these states their ancestral homes? What is their business in establishing a vigilante in another man’s land? They are looking for trouble where none exists.
“In saner climes, the leaders and members of Miyetti Allah are supposed to be in prison for crimes they committed against humanity.

“Fulani herdsmen/terrorists, who have been killing innocent Nigerians, are their members and they have owned up on several occasions that they are the ones responsible for the various vicious attacks and killings of innocent people.
“Miyetti Allah is biting more than it can chew, it’s high time their patrons who we know, know themselves should call them to order before things get out of hand.
“It is a treasonable offence punishable by law for Miyetti Allah to arrogate to themselves the power and responsibilities of a governor.
“It is insulting and it’s high time the government handles their disrespect to constitutional authority.”
