Delta State Cattle Dealers’ Association yesterday dis­associated itself from Mi­yetti Allah.

Speaking yesterday in Asa­ba, Chairman of the associ­ation, Alhaji Musa Adamu Shua, said the association has no connection with weapon wielding herders.

According to Adamu, “After the public hearing at the House of Assembly on Monday, 25 July 2021, I saw a piece of news on 26 July 2021 stating that we are part of Mi­yetti Allah. We are not cattle rearers, there is no relation­ship between our association and Miyetti-Allah. We do not have any relationship with herdsmen”.

While noting that the cattle dealers have operated peace­fully in the state, he pleaded with the government to give them land to do their busi­ness.

Meanwhile, counsel to the association, Habeeb Lawal, lamented the report that la­belled the association as Mi­yetti-Allah.

He disclosed that the as­sociation has members who cut across different tribes, “amongst them you have in­digenes and Yoruba dealers.

“The whole essence of the law against the ban on open grazing is to tackle anyone whose cattle is causing hav­oc,” he asserted.
