The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has raised an alarm over the sudden disappearance of its National Vice President, Munnir Atiku Lamido. In a statement released on Friday, MACBAN’s spokesperson, Muhammad Abdullahi, revealed that Lamido has been missing since he left his home in Katsina State on June 23rd, 2023, with the intention of traveling to Kaduna.
Abdullahi further disclosed that Lamido’s vehicle was discovered abandoned on Thursday, parked between Jos and Kaduna road near Mararraban Jos town. All of Lamido’s telephones were found inside the vehicle. Despite concerted efforts to locate him, Lamido’s whereabouts remain unknown.
MACBAN is now urging members of the public who have any useful information on Lamido’s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or reach out to MACBAN offices across the nation.
The sudden disappearance of a prominent figure like Munnir Atiku Lamido has triggered concerns within the Miyetti Allah community and Nigeria as a whole. As the National Vice President of MACBAN, Lamido plays a crucial role in the association’s operations and decision-making processes.
Miyetti Allah, often in the news due to its association with the herder-farmer crisis in Nigeria, has been an active participant in discussions and negotiations regarding the security and welfare of its members. The association represents the interests of pastoralists across the country and works towards the resolution of conflicts between herders and farmers.
The circumstances surrounding Lamido’s disappearance remain unclear, and it is unknown whether foul play is involved. However, the authorities and security agencies are expected to launch a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind his sudden vanishing.
As news of Lamido’s disappearance spreads, the Miyetti Allah community and Nigerians at large are hopeful for his safe return. The association is known for its efforts in promoting peaceful coexistence and dialogue between herders and farmers. Lamido’s absence leaves a void in MACBAN’s leadership structure and will undoubtedly be felt by the organization.
MACBAN is hopeful that by reaching out to the public and security agencies, they can gather critical information that will aid in the search for Lamido. The association appeals to anyone with useful information to come forward and assist in resolving this concerning incident.
In light of Lamido’s disappearance, it becomes imperative for the relevant authorities to prioritize his case and ensure a thorough and efficient investigation is conducted. The safety and wellbeing of all citizens, regardless of their affiliations, should always be a top priority for a country striving to maintain peace and harmony.
