MACBAN raises alarm over alleged killing of 43 herders by vigilantes
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has condemned the killing of at least 43 Fulani herders in coordinated attacks by suspected vigilante groups across parts of Kebbi and Niger States, warning that such acts could worsen insecurity in the country.
The incident was made public in a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Wednesday.
According to Makama, the attacks took place between October 24 and 26, affecting several rural settlements in Argungu, Arewa, and Bunza Local Government Areas of Kebbi State, where armed vigilantes allegedly invaded Fulani communities, killed dozens, and set houses ablaze.
Makama revealed that at least 37 people were killed in the affected areas, while more than 200 houses were destroyed.
Many residents, including women and children, have been displaced, with several still missing.
In a statement signed by its National Secretary, Bello Aliyu Gotomo, and issued in Abuja, MACBAN described the killings and destruction of herders’ homes as unjustified and inhumane.
“Now, in addition to the threats from bandits who extort and harass herders, peaceful Fulani communities are being attacked by vigilantes acting outside the law,” Gotomo said.
“Allowing people to take the law into their hands will only worsen insecurity across the country.”
The association also expressed grief over a similar incident in Edati Local Government Area of Niger State, where six Fulani herders were killed and more than 60 houses burnt on September 21.
MACBAN said the violence followed a misunderstanding between a farmer and a herder, even though the herder involved was already in police custody before the attacks took place.
MACBAN commended the Governor of Niger State for his swift intervention, which it said helped to prevent the crisis from escalating further.
The association urged the Federal, State, and Local Governments to take urgent steps to address the growing insecurity in rural areas, saying the crisis has already affected both farming and livestock activities.
“The security situation in rural communities requires immediate and coordinated attention from all tiers of government to protect lives and livelihoods,” Gotomo added.

I Threw My Expensive Gold Jewelry into the Lagoon the Moment I Became a Born-Again Christian— Pastor Adeboye’s Wife, Foluke
Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.
Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.
However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.
“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.
She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.
But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”
Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future
As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.
In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.
“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.
The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.
“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.
The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.
“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
