Following the suspension of strike by members of Foods and Cattle dealers Association transportation of foods to the South West through Kwara State previously blocked Jebba and Niger border axis have resumed.
The blockage of food to the South was a means deployed by the North to send a subtle warning to other parts of Nigeria to stop the harassment and intimidation of the Fulanis.
The Coordinator of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Kwara State branch, Aliyu Mohammed, who revealed this to newsmen on Friday, said the free flow of goods has now been restored.
Mohammed stated that the blockage of food was relaxed by the association with the belief that the South would stop persecuting Fulani’s in its region.
He sooner or later, the truth about those disguising themselves as Fulanis and engaging in banditry and kidnapping would soon be revealed.
“The association’s main concern is the protection of the main source of livelihood, cattle rearing, and the safety of our members.
“The association is ready to work with the federal government and law enforcement agencies to clean the state of criminals.
“The vigilante group was ready to assist the government in identifying fake herders who infiltrate the state to commit atrocities”, Mohammed said.
He insisted that whoever is found culpable of any criminal offense among their members should be ready to face the law’s full weight.
