Ten members of the Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) were reportedly kidnapped on Saturday in Obene Community, Ogbaru Local Government Area, Anambra State.
A squad of about 40 gunmen ambushed the herders while they were asleep at their settlement in Ogbaru LGA, and their animals were forcibly taken away.
The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m.
The bandits demanded N4 million in ransom from the victims’ families after allegedly stealing 300 cows.
MACBAN’s South-East Chairman, Gidado Siddiki, who confirmed the incident on Saturday stated that the herders were assaulted while sleeping in their village, and their livestock were forcibly carried away by a group of roughly 40 gunmen.
Guns, cutlasses, sticks, and charms were used by the attackers, according to reports.
The MACBAN leader plaeded with kidnappers to release his members and the cows.
He criticized the politicisation of the herdsmen-host communities dispute across the country.
He said that herders were routinely charged with felonies, even when they were the victims of an attack.
Mr Siddiki blamed the face-off between herdsmen, farmers and host communities on lack of “accurate communication”.
He commended Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State for initiating a peace and reconciliation committee to address the security challenges in the state and the South-east region at large.
The police spokesperson in the state, Tochukwu Ikenga, has confirmed the incident.
