Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has condemned the recent Zamfara State killings and calls on bandits to stop killing innocent Nigerians.
A statement on Tuesday by the National President of KACRAN, Mohammed Bello said: “As the good people of Dauri, Bakura Local Government Area of Zamfara State are sorrowfully mourning the death of over 50 persons brutally killed by armed bandits in the State, we members of Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN), as a peace loving Herders Association in the country, wish to sadly condemn the aformentioned barbaric, senseless, act in the State and strongly call on them to immediately stop killing innocent Nigerians in the name of taking vengeance against the volunteer groups who they claimed are illegally attacking, stealing their livestock and killing their families.
Bello said the above call was made due to the following: It is neither rationale none ideal to take revenge against people who are not the actual ones that attack you in the initial stage; even if they are the ones, what they ought to do is to report them to legal authorities who have the constitutional backing to arrest the culprits and bring them to book.
He added that their retaliatory attack in the villages and towns for whatever reason, is uncalled for and a crime again humanity; they should know that two wrongs will never make a right and so their attacks on innocent people is making the gravity of their offence more grievous than that of the volunteer groups.

He said: “We are strongly warning them to run away from criminality or any suspicious behavior. And we as well advise them to be law abiding citizens who will be given our security authorities maximum support and coorperation by reporting any person or group of people that they come to understand are committing or breaking Nigeria’s law and order.
“At the same time, we call on volunteer groups who are mainly responsible for the bandit’s reprisals to stop attacking, stealing livestock and killing innocent people in the name of protecting their communities.”
KACRAN also commended Zamfara State Government for cautioning volunteer groups in the State who were described as mischievous or trouble makers to stop attacking innocent Nigerians who’s attacks always resulted to harsh bandits attack in some villages and local towns where innocent people mainly old, women and children used to be the victims.
Bello added that: “Likewise, as a strategy to successfully end the North West and Central insecurity problem, we are passionately appealing to Federal Government, as a matter of utmost importance to establish appeal funds one in each of the two named regions, to help metigating the loss by victims of the attacks.
“The foundation that we hope to be placed under the supervision or able leadership of trustworthy Nigerian philanthropists who will judiciously and transparently manage the foundations by providing empowerment, relief materials and other social services to the affected people by the heinous activities of the volunteer groups and bandits in the said areas.
“We gave this humble advise, after being thoroughly studied and critically assessed the vital role the North East Development Commission is vigorously playing in the North East region, through building houses, providing relief materials/palliative and Youth empowerment that yielding a positive result by drastically reducing the issue of insecurity in the North East region.
