Gunmen have killed Abubakar Abdullahi, the chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders’ Association of Nigeria in the Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The attack happened in the early hours of Friday according to the Director of Media and Publicity of MACBAN in Kaduna State, Ibrahim Bayero-Zango.

According to JournalReporters, the MACBAN’s spokesman stated that the attackers stormed the home of the chairman, popularly known as Dambardi, in Lere town at about 1am.

He added that the gunmen demanded N20million from him before he was whisked away to where he was later killed along the Saminaka-Mariri-Zango highway.

He said, “Early this morning, one of our members called to inform the leadership of the state branch of MACBAN that at about 1:00am (Friday), unknown gunmen attacked the home of the chairman of MACBAN in Lere LGA and killed him.

“When they arrived the house at about 1:00am, they demanded the sum of N20m from him in order to spare his life but he told them he had no such money.

“Although he was able to raise N250,000 for the assailants, they took him to the back of the town along the Saminaka-Mariri- Zango highway where they shot him dead.”

The MACBAN spokesman, while condemning the attack, called on the state government and security agencies to investigate the attack so as to uncover the perpetrators of the heinous act.

“We totally condemn this heinous act and we are appealing to the state government and the Police to thoroughly investigate the attack and fish out the perpetrators of the attack.

“This is because Lere is one of the peaceful areas in the state where there has been no issue of herder-farmer crisis.

“There has been no issue of cattle rustling in the area but, surprisingly, somebody like the slain chairman of MACBAN, a strong supporter and promoter of peace in Lere, could be so brutally gunned down in that manner.

“We are sad over the incident,” he added.
