Miyetti Allah Condemns CSP Babale's Killing, Urges Caution

The Plateau State chapter of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) issued a warning against attributing the killing of CSP Dennis David Babale, Deputy Commander of Operation Rainbow, to the Fulani community without credible evidence. Babale was ambushed by gunmen on Tuesday around 4:06 p.m. while traveling on the Bokkos-Barkin Ladi road, responding to a distress call.

He sustained gunshot wounds and later died at the General Hospital in Barkin Ladi. The Plateau State Police Command confirmed the incident and stated that investigations were ongoing to identify the attackers.

MACBAN's Plateau State Chairman, Ibrahim Yusuf Babayo, condemned the killing and called for intensified efforts to address the violence in the region. The association cautioned against premature attribution of violent incidents to the Fulani community, emphasizing that such claims could escalate tensions and hinder justice.

They urged that criminals be treated as individuals, regardless of their ethnic background.
