Miyetti Allah Agrees Demanding N100Bn From FG

-

The National Secretary, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Mr. Saleh Alhassan, has clarified that his group indeed demanded N100bn from the Federal Government to pay herders for the construction of ranches and not for amnesty as reported on social media.

He claimed former President Goodluck Jonathan made a promise to offer them the stated amount which informed their decision to give him their mandate for his re-election in 2015.

The controversial group chief, however revealed that after Jonathan lost the election and left, the initiative was suspended, hence the matter was once again presented to President Muhammadu Buhari government.

" People that are saying they have given Miyetti Allah N100bn to stop kidnappings are just beng mischievous because from what we have observed, there are certin people that are twisting narratives", he said.

He further lamented that some Nigerians didn't want any kind of support to come from the government for livestock development.

" If we are going to have ranches definitely, some support would come from government," he said.

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu and some government officials had come under fire last week for allegedly promising to pay Miyetti Allah N100bn as amnesty to curb the rise in banditry, kidnapping and killings.

The rape lawsuit against Juventus star Cristiano Rinaldo has been dropped, according to a report from Bloomberg on Wednesday. A notice voluntary dismissal was filled last month in Neveda state court in Las Vegas. In September 2018, Kathryn Mayorga, now 34, claimed the Juventus player had attacked her in the penthouse of a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 when she was 25 and was paid $375,000 in hush money. She said she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement by Ronaldo's lawyers at the time, but reopened the case and filed charges in Las Vegas, demanding $200,000 in damages. Katheryn had now ended her lawsuit, meaning the Juventus attacker can now draw a line under this chapter. According to Bloomberg, a notice of voluntary dismissal was reportedly filed in May in a Nevada State Court in Las Vegas, but the reasons for it are not clear at the time as the filing does not say whether a settlement was reached with the Portuguese superstar regarding the rape case.
