The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association,
MACBAN, North West zone has offered to assist the Federal Government in the
protection of refineries and pipelines.
The zonal youth leader of MACBAN, Comrade
Yusuf Usman gave the call when he led members of the group to pay management of
the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company, KRPC, a courtesy visit.
MACBAN explained that it decided to offer
assistance in the protection of pipelines because vandalised oil installations
in time past had led to the death of some of its cattle.
Usman disclosed that Fulani herdsmen were
peaceful people who have lived peacefully with their neighbours.
According to Usman, “A couple of years ago,
some of our cattle drank poisonous water, contaminated by pollution due to
emission from vandalized or burst pipelines containing petroleum products and
we are living witnesses to the negative consequences of sabotaging or
vandalizing KRPC facilities.
“The Fulani herdsmen in this part of the
country have all these years been one of the neighbours of the KRPC. Our
neighbourliness has been very cordial, mutual and peaceful.”.
