Slain Borno farmers didn’t get clearance to work on rice fields: Garba Shehu
The Buhari administration appeared determined to deflect responsibility for the weekend carnage that left 110 villagers killed.


Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu says farmers who were slaughtered on a rice field in Borno’s Zabarmari village should have obtained military clearance before resuming farming activities in the area.

Mr. Shehu who spoke to BBC newsday said the government was sad about the tragic incident, but added that the “people need to understand what it is like in the Lake Chad Basin area.”

He claimed that though much of the area has been liberated from Boko Haram terrorists, there are still a number of spaces that have not been cleared for the return of villagers who have been displaced.

“The truth has to be said. Was there any military clearance from the military who are in total control of the area?” Mr. Shehu queried. “Did anybody ask to resume activity?”

Mr. Shehu emphasised that he had been briefed by military authorities that the villagers did not seek military advice before exposing themselves to “a window that the terrorists have exploited.”

“So ideally, all of these places ought to probably be allowed to pass through proper military clearance before resettlement or even farmers resuming activities on those fields,” he said.

The presidency’s apparent misspeak comes barely 48 hours after Peoples Gazette reported that at least 43 rice farmers were beheaded by terrorists while working on their farms. Subsequent reports indicated that the fatalities was around 110 persons with some women also abducted by the marauders.

Mr. Shehu’s comment may be viewed as unempathetic and insensitive, even for a government that has become notorious for refusing to take responsibility for obvious failures of governance and always seeking to shift blame.

Garbage nonsense

clearance for what.

with the way this country is going. it's not advisable to build & operate in any part of the north Abuja inclusive.

LeeSantos:
clearance for what

security clearance

wake me up when APC begins to take responsibility. They're now blaming the dead for dying. My God!!

The Buhari’s Government is insensitive to the plight and safety of Nigerians.
The worse part of the problem is that his vuvuzelas are so insensitive with their comments, while trying to absolve him of the problems.

I knew it was the Farmers fault, the only Terrorists we have in this country is Ipob, and I hope this will serve as deterrence to other Farmers who do not plan on paying the requisite amount to the militia arm of the government.

Imagine the garbage he is spewing out.....this govt is evil.

Yenefer:
security clearance

2 things running in my mind.
if these Boko harams live in the forest as they say. can't they burn the forest and let this people go back to their lives?

2. if they have an hideout it communities, the Ng army can raid houses that look suspicious.

I think the farmers were not doing well where they are & were tired of waiting for clearance

Imagine what Buhari and Co have turned this country into.
Clearance before you can go to your farm.
Too bad the remaining farmers will still be voting because of "he is our tribesman".

Arrewa so people still need clearance to move about in your safe north?

Garuba shehu should have just allowed the dead to rest in peace than this mumbo-jumbo.

When Chibok principal and then governor spurned military advice not to conduct the exam where the Chibok girls were kidnapped, APC then still justified their actions and rewarded the principal with a better appointment.

for ur own farm again u go need military clearance? maybe if them wan mekwekwe they will also need clearance too. sir re u trying to defend or justify the massacre cos I don't understand WTF u re trying to say

How much more stupid can one get? Is rice grown and harvested in a day or even a month, all these while the army did not see them or remember that they are farming for their livelihood without permission from them. How evil can a man be ? APC satanic organization

Do this man know the implications of what he is saying, it seems this government is working for the bandits.
So they are now blaming the farmers for trying to do decent work to earn a living.
We are better off without a government.

Terrible excuse.

Yeah! So government will not live up to its constitutional responsibility of providing security of life and property that people will now need clearance to move about? Does these people have conscience @ all?

Well this idiot called Garba Shehu is working without any security clearance because his lifeless principal ensured that Aso Rock security architecture was totally overhauled immediately just a single shot was mistaken fired during the Aisha Buhari vs Mamman Daura family squibble.

Yeah! Thought the government said no insecurity issue again? Well, nothing new because the poor beleaguered Nigerian citizens can die & go to hell for all they care. Always making stupid excuses for a lifeless president.

Demon!

If I talk, I go just dey swear for them ni but make I just mellow.
