The Qua’an-Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State has banned the settlement of unauthorized Fulani migrants as part of measures to strengthen security and promote peaceful coexistence in the area.
The Executive Chairman of the council, Christopher Audu Manship, announced the directive during a stakeholders’ meeting with traditional rulers and leaders of Miyetti Allah held in Doemak.
Manship said no Fulani individual or group from outside the local government should settle in Qua’an-Pan without the approval of host communities, traditional authorities, and the local leadership of Miyetti Allah.
He also warned that herders caught grazing on cultivated farmlands would face legal action, and urged them to use only designated grazing areas and fallow lands.
The chairman further appealed to the Fulani community not to harbour anyone fleeing criminal activities.
The Long Pan and Chairman of the Qua’an-Pan Traditional Council, His Royal Highness Nda Jerom Leklat, called on community leaders to report suspicious movements. He pledged the support of the traditional institution in maintaining peace in the area.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Miyetti Allah in Qua’an-Pan, Alhaji Sai’du, assured the council of the association’s full cooperation.
