The group said the average cattle herder in Nigeria has become an endangered specie.
A group of Fulani cattle herders, the Coalition of Pastoralists Associations of Nigeria , has accused the Nigerian government and other ethnic groups in the country of destroying the business of cattle rearing.
The National President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria , Baba – Othman Ngelzarma, who spoke on behalf of CPAN, said the briefing was done to draw the attention of the government to the dangers being faced by the Fulanis across the country. “To start with, we all know that global warming is a reality, and it has affected the Lake Chad massively, forcing our people to move down south in search of water and food for our livestock.
He accused the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, of using livestock guards to arrest and extort Fulani herders.
