The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, SOKAPU has criticized the proposed formation of a Vigilante outfit by the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore to prevent the breakdown of law and order in Benue State and Nigeria at large.
It however noted with concern that only the government has the constitutional right to create a security outfit and not an ethnic group within a state arrogating itself that right.
SOKAPU Spokesman, Luka Binniyat in a statement in Kaduna, also described the action as an unwelcomed development and urged President Muhammadu Buhari to do the needful to forestall any crisis.
The statement noted that the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore is not a government and therefore cannot make a law that rivals that of a government.
SOKAPU said any attempt therefore, to allow the Fulani to form, arm, kit and operate an armed wing so brazenly, is to also approve other ethnic groups to do same.
It was gathered that, the Secretary General of the group, Saleh Hassan made the announcement four days ago in an interview he granted the International Centre for Investigative Reporting, ICIR.
