They made the pledge in a communique issued after a meeting that
lasted for several hours and attended by herders and their leaders from
14 local government areas of the state.
The meeting, which was held at the palace of the Emir of Muri in
Jalingo, the state capital, was also attended by security adviser to
Governor Darius Ishaku and other security agents.
The Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Taraba
State chapter, Sahabi Tukur, who read the communique, said Fulani
herdsmen including their leaders have agreed not to harbour criminals
even if they were their sons or close relations.
He said criminals would be identified and those that repent would be
documented, while those that refuse to turn over a new leaf would be
handed over to security agents.
He noted that the task was onerous but necessary to sanitise the Fulani
herdsmen and restore their image caused by criminal activities
perpetrated by some of them.
The Emir of Muri had, in a meeting with Fulani leaders last week,
ordered them to weed out criminals amongst them.
