Members of a community in Gwaram Local Government Area of Jigawa State have given some herders one month to quit a settlement they said they had lived in for about 40 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Shehu Juli, one of the herders \u00a0the quit notice was issued by Auwalu Adamu, the district head of Fagam, whom he said asked them to leave or face the wrath of the community.<\/p>\n

Mr. Juli said his family and that of his neighbour, Muhammadu Dade, were suddenly told by the district head that the owner of the land wanted to recover it.<\/p>\n

Mr.Dade said he got the quit notice one week after the death of his father, Mohammadu Jingi. He said the district head sent some people to his family while it was still mourning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey told me to sign a particular document which I don\u2019t have knowledge about. Later, they told me that the land my late father used was not part of our inheritance and that we should therefore quit the settlement within one month.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dade\u2019s aged mother told PREMIUM TIMES that the development was the worst persecution she had seen in her life. The woman who gave her name as Ladi, narrated her ordeal in tears from a seat on a mud bed in her hut.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been living here in peace for more than forty years. Just because my husband died, they told us to leave here and we don\u2019t know any other place apart from here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is where we have been rearing our cattle and farming for more than four decades. They told us to vacate the area. How are we going to start afresh? Our foodstuff is about to finish,\u201d she said, pointing at a half bag of guinea corn.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat really shocked me most was that the person sent to give us the quit notice was my late husband\u2019s trustee. I cried but he didn\u2019t sympathise with us, he just walked away,\u201d Mrs. Ladi said.<\/p>\n

Auwalu Adamu, the district head of Fagam, said that the herders were asked to leave \u201cbecause they refused to renew their settlement dues.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThe payment of dues by herdsmen is a tradition in this area and their late father never defaulted,\u201d the district head explained..<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, the chairman of the cattle breeders group, Miyetti Allah, in Jigawa State, Sa\u2019idu Musa Gagarawa, said the herders will not vacate the settlement.<\/p>\n

He said they could only be evicted if the state government allocated the land for development purposes, in which case, he said, the government would pay the herders compensation before taking over the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cChasing those people out of the state is not security wise as I learned that they are relocating to another neighbouring community in Bauchi State. This may not augur well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Muhammad Nuhu Sunusi , and the authorities concerned to call the district head of Fagam to order to withdraw the quit notice because he lacks the power and authority to ask people to vacate their settlement without following due process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFulani across the state are facing similar persecution in the hands of local traditional rulers, especially in Kirikasamma, Guri, Auyo local government areas. The district heads do collude with some magistrate judges to revoke and allocate demarcated land area meant for grazing to their accomplice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Gagarawa said the state government \u201cneeds to speed up the process of demarcating all grazing reserves and other gazetted land area to avoid further escalation of trouble in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking on the development, Rabiu Miko, the Executive Secretary of the state\u2019s Farmers\/Herdsmen Board, said all land belongs to the government and that only the governor has the right to allocate land for any purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state government will identify the land whether it is a grazing reserve and come up with a solution in the area,\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
The state police commissioner, Bala Senchi, said that was not aware of the issue but stated that a district head lack the power to evict citizens.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Miyetti Allah has the responsibility to protect and defend its members in the state. They have not informed the Police on the issue but I will send my boys to go and investigate the matter,\u201d Mr. Senchi said.<\/p>\n
