Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has condemned the attack on residents of Jos, Plateau State, on Palm Sunday.

President of MACBAN, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, in an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, called on security agencies to act decisively to identify and arrest those behind the attack.

He said that the action against the perpetrators must include not only those directly responsible but also individuals inciting violence through reckless and inflammatory statements.

According to him, such actors worsen tensions and must be held accountable, noting that without addressing both the violence and the rhetoric that fuels it, the cycle will continue.

Recall that scores were killed and injured after heavily armed gunmen laid siege on Angwan Rukuba community in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State on Sunday.

Reacting, the MACBAN president said, “To start with, I have to condole with the families of the victims and the government of Plateau State over what happened on Sunday.

“That attack was so barbaric and condemnable by all ramifications. We condemn and do not support it.

“We call on the security agencies to act decisively and fish out the perpetrators of this act.”

Longtime venture capitalist Ron Conway said Friday that he was “recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.”

In a post on X, Conway wrote that he “will be stepping back from some of my usual activities,” but he will “continue to support” founders backed by his firm SV Angel: “With a more focused and balanced schedule, I can prioritize treatments while helping SV Angel founders at inflection points like we always do!”

Conway also said SV Angel will be “unchanged,” as his son Topher Conway “has made all of our investment decisions for the better part of the last decade.” And he noted that another son, Ronny Conway, joined as a managing partner in 2024.

“They bring experience from nearly every major technology cycle in Silicon Valley and are now focused on partnering with founders building the future of AI,” Conway said.

He added that he’s not revealing “the specific type of cancer” in his diagnosis, because he doesn’t want “speculation” about the prognosis, but he said he remains “optimistic.”

“I am fortunate to have the best/amazing team of UCSF doctors in San Francisco, and as you know, I never back down from a fight,” Conway said.
