The National President of the Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria, KACRAN, Hon. Khalil Mohammed Bello, has appealed to Governor Mai Mala Buni CON to intervene to halt the unauthorized destruction of the cattle route in Potiskum local government area.

The National President made a plea in a statement issued on Thursday that was made available to newsmen in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital.

He accused the village head of Juma’a, Alhaji Yusuf Baba, with the alleged backing of the vice chairman of the local government, of taking actions that contravene these orders.

The admission by the village head during an interview with the press and the subsequent action by the local government have led to further destruction and allocation of the cattle route for personal gain.

The statement further said that this cattle route is not only a historical pathway for herders from Cameroon through Nigeria to Niger but also a critical component in preventing conflicts between farmers and herders.

“The unauthorized allocation of this land jeopardizes the livelihood of thousands of pastoralists and poses a significant threat to the long-standing peace and security of the region.” Bello said.

“We are therefore making a passionate appeal to His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, to intervene swiftly to halt these illegal activities and revoke any illicitly allocated plots.

This vital passage, which has served as an international cattle route for over a century, is being illegally obstructed and parceled out as plots in direct defiance of His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni’s executive orders.

These directives expressly commended all local government council chairmen to establish committees aimed at fostering peace between farmers and herders and safeguarding grazing reserves and cattle routes from encroachment.
