The Nigerian Presidency has denied offering Miyetti Allah and armed bandits monetary compensation to help maintain peace in Northern Nigeria.

There were reports that the Federal Government had offered the cattle breeding group alongside others a N100 billion to curtail crimes allegedly being carried out by its members.

The amount was reportedly agreed upon when delegations from the parties involved held a meeting with the delegation of the Federal Government headed by the acting Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.

The planned monetary compensation drew condemnation from the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA).



But reacting on Tuesday, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, defended the meeting but denied monetary compensation were discussed.

“That is 100 per cent untrue. I have confirmed that in all the meetings held, money was never discussed,” Mr Shehu said while featuring on Channels Television.

Likening Miyetti Allah to other socio-cultural groups including, Ohanaeze, Afenifere, the presidential spokesman said the government needed the cooperation of the group in tackling proliferation of weapons in the country.

“The Nigerian government is speaking with the leadership of the Fulani herders association, Miyetti Allah.



“The Miyetti Allah group is like Ohanaeze and Afenifere. It is a socio-cultural group. There are criminals within the Yoruba race and you cannot say because of that, Afenifere is a group of criminals.

“The Nigerian government is speaking with the leadership of the Fulani herders association, Miyetti Allah.

“All of the issues were about the involvement of the leadership of Miyetti Allah and getting them to prevail upon its members and they are many. We asked them to assist the administration to recover weapons which were owned by a lot of these elements,” Shehu said.

He said while state governors will be engaged, some of the herders admitted that they went into crime because they had been dispossessed of their cattle by rustlers.

“These things are being addressed and they are moving to the next stage.

“In states like Kogi, Benue, Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina and Niger, they will be talking to the governors so that you can use them. They are available so that you can help the government to caution and control some of these things unfolding.”

we don expect d presidency to comfirm it that they actually offer those criminals 100billion

Were you expected to own up before?..pathological liars and crooks like y'all?

Oh pleaseee!!!!

Me I no get time for accusations and counter accusations. But if 100 billion Naira can make them to stop the killings and bloodbath going on all over the country, give it to them. Human life is more precious than 100 billion Naira.

When I first read the news alleging the fg, I didn't bother reading it cos I knew it was all lies

Only fools believed in the first place, the type of fools that believed trump and isreali mossad was comming to rescue them from Nigeria.

many so called educated folks dont even know how goverment works, anyways to explain to some Dunce... Buhari or anybody cant pull out a kobo from our treasury except it was budgeted for in the previous year with full scrutinity and approval of the National assembly members.


The Excess Crude Account which is also a buffer for Goverment savings and spending must be approved by the Governors of the States of the federation, been the joint owner of the fund in the account.

The Whole of SouthEastern Five States Combined Internaly Generated Revenue (tax, goverment venture, levies etc) is N77bn, the whole of Sukuk bond FG borrowed to fix roads accross Nigeria is N100bn yet they would offer anyone N100bn??

Wailing in another dimension!

Behind a looting heartless leaders, government, there are the gullible followers, citizens.

Leaders are our problems but can we totally put all the blame on the leaders? It's rather the fault of the citizens who allow and support their tormentors.

Lots of mediocrity grounded citizens in this country, like this guy being quoted. That's why hope looks gloomy for this great nation.

The problem of this country is deep and complicated, lots and lots of factors. A realistic person will rather look for a better life than hope for a better nation.

Y'all youth can keep on twerking on IG, trolling celebrities on social media, conehead/flaathead tribal fights, sentiments and co while these old demons keep devouring your future.

I only pity the innocent unborn children. These leaders will loot and waste anything possible and one day when things fall apart, they all run away with their family leaving behind the helpless souls.

Shut up, terrorists Muslims

This is expected. A fulani regime led by terrorists will defend Terrorist organizations like Miyeti Allah (A bloody terrorist group who by the way are rated 4th deadliest terror group in the world responsible for massacre of over 15,000 lives last year alone!).
Buhari's regime has made TERRORISM A VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS VENTURE WHEREBY TERRORISTS ARE PAID IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BASE ON THE NUMBER OF PERSONS THEY SLAUGHTERED.
Its interesting that IPOB, a secessionist group that do not shed human blood, nor go about attacking and killing helpless villagers in Benue, Taraba, Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Nassarawa, Zamfara, Ogun, Adamawa, Edo, Imo, Delta, at night like fulani terrorists herdsmen do where hurriedly declared terrorist by buhari's military regime.
While fulani terrorist herdsmen (whom the regime even claimed are from Libya and Mali) under the leadership of Miyeti Allah that have:
)Attacked and wiped entire families at night.
)Ransacked villages and slaughtered innocent villagers and seized their ancestral lands.
)Massacre farmers on their farms e.t.c are invited in for talks by the regime about many millions of dollars they (fulani terrorist herdsmen) need in their accounts.

History will never be kind to APC's Illegitimate terrorist regime.

Nice one

Chai!!
Imagine this mofo comparing Ohaneze Ndigbo with Miyetti Allah.

What business does light have with darkness??
Na dem dem, they will sure defend them.

Why not roll out the tanks against them like it was done to IPOB whose activities were peaceful??

Why not proscribe them too??

This monstrosity that the north has pampered and failed to control will be their undoing. Its not about holding political power, but its about being able to sleep with both eyes closed even while holding such power.
