The Ebonyi State Government has warned leaders of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in the state against clashes with farmers.
The State Deputy Governor, Kelechi Igwe, gave the warning in a communique he read at the end of the State Security Council Meeting.
The leaders of the local state branch of the Miyetti Allah were invited to the meeting to discuss issues bothering on grazing activities of its members and the spate of insecurity across the state.
This is coming on the heels of reported altercation between members of the association and some communities in the state.
The Deputy Governor hinted that the state government is setting up a special court that will henceforth try offenders of such infractions.
