The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) expresses its heartfelt appreciation to the Nigerian Military for their prompt and effective intervention in averting a potential communal clash in Mangu Local Government Area of Plateau State.
In a press release signed by Honorable Khalid Muhammad Bello, the national president of KACRAN, the association, dedicated to promoting peace and unity between cattle rearers and farmers, commends the military for their valorous conduct on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
KACRAN emphasizes its longstanding advocacy for the government’s provision of advanced training, sophisticated weaponry, fair remuneration, and family support for security forces. The association underscores its opposition to the formation of vigilante groups, citing concerns about potential human rights violations and loss of innocent lives.
The military’s swift and unbiased actions in Mangu Local Government Area stand as a testament to the importance of a proactive security force in preventing bloodshed and property damage. KACRAN expresses profound gratitude for their effective intervention, saving lives and preventing further escalation of violence.
“We strongly advocate for increased support from Federal, State, and Local Governments for our security forces, enabling them to fulfill their constitutional duties with valor and success.”
“We call upon all Nigerians to unite in support of our security personnel, ensuring their continued success in safeguarding the nation. KACRAN reiterates that true peace and stability in Nigeria can only be achieved through the efforts of our security forces—not through vigilantism or retaliatory violence, which historically lead to tragic loss of life and property.”
“We once again recognize the military’s commendable actions in Mangu Local Government of Plateau State. We urge our security forces to maintain their unbiased and preventive measures in addressing communal conflicts. It is through such dedication that we can hope to minimize or eliminate communal clashes, God willing.”
“We pray for the continued blessing and protection of our security operatives, all Nigerians, and our beloved country at large.”
