The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday said cows
reared by Fulani herdsmen would no longer be used for any social event in the
Southest.
The group stated this in a New Year address by its Head of
Directorate Mazi Chika Edoziem through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma
Powerful.
The ban, IPOB said, would take effect from April.
It said only native cows would be allowed in the region for
such events.
It urged traditional rulers, the clergy and town unions to
ensure the message reaches the grassroots.
The group said: “The ban placed on Fulani cows will take
effect in April 2022.
“Effective that month, Fulani cows will not be used for any
social or ceremonial events and festival in Biafraland.
“Our native cows will be used instead for these events.
“Traditional custodians of our culture, the clergy and town
unions must ensure that this message gets to the grassroots.”
