Kaduna killings: Pastor asks Christians to boycott cow meet

- A pastor has urged Christians in the country to stop eating cow meat to protest the killings in southern Kaduna by Fulani herdsmen

- The pastor also said the cow meat boycott should involve total abstinence from buying and eating cow meat, which directly impact on the economic lifeline of the Fulani herdsmen and their sponsors

- According to him, if the killings persist, Christians should boycott products from companies owned by Muslims

Pastor and president of the Laybible translation group, Dele Ikeorha has urged Christians in the country to stop eating cow meat in protest against the incessant attack on Christians in Southern Kaduna by Fulani herdsmen.

The pastor made this call in a statement made available to The Cable.

According to the pastor in the piece titled: ‘Call to National Indefinite Cow Meat Boycott.’

Ikeorha noted that the time has come for Christians in the country to resist what he termed as the “subtlety of the Islamisation agenda of Nigeria” as it required “forceful and strategic resistance to avert a greater calamity.”

The statement read: “Christianity in Nigeria today is under siege, not only from Islamic fundamentalists, and bloody genocidal actions of Boko Haram, but also from evil moves such as the cattle grazing reserve bill, and from the marauding activities of Fulani terrorists masquerading as cattle breeders,” the pastor said.

“In view of the direct link between the Fulani herdsmen and the blood-letting that has resulted in untold human massacres across Nigeria, and the genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent Christians and Nigerians, the Lay Bible Translation Group hereby calls on all Christians in Nigeria to boycott cow meat indefinitely, as a sign of outrage over the ongoing atrocities committed against Christians and Christian communities throughout Nigeria by Fulani heardsmen
