The Kebbi state chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has urged security agencies in the country to retrieve illegally acquired weapons from unauthorised persons.
Alhaji Muhammad Ardo-Zuru, the state chairman of the association disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Birnin Kebbi.
According to him, Sustainable peace will continue to elude us if such weapons, including guns and ammunition are left in the hands of criminals.
The association maintained that for peace to endure in the country, authorities will have to ensure deliberate steps are taken to mop up all guns and ammunition in criminal hands.
And also prosecute all those found wanting in the killing of innocent people, no matter how highly placed they are.
Ardo-Zuru, however, added that the association would collaborate with the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) the Attorney-General of the Federation and Commissioners for Justice in various states to hasten the release of all innocent Fulani people languishing in prisons.
