It said: “We have agreed to revert to our olden days’ relationship with our neighbouring communities in Southern Kaduna.
“We’ve resolved to be our brothers’ keeper henceforth in order to foster growth and development in the region.
“We call on our people to stop allowing underage children from rearing cattle in order to prevent further destruction of the farm produce within the area.
“In the same vein, we call on farmers to desist from blocking cattle routes both local and international.”
