The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State submitted a petition to Major General Abdulsalam Abubakar regarding the seizure of livestock by military personnel. The petition accuses officers of engaging in cattle rustling and harassment against the Fulani community, causing severe hardships.

Signed by key members of MACBAN in Mangu LGA, the petition was also copied to high-ranking officials. The association highlighted past incidents where livestock was stolen by individuals in military uniforms, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice.
MACBAN is seeking justice for the affected community and demanding that illegal actions by military personnel be addressed promptly to prevent further mistreatment and oppression.
