As Herdsmen Pays For Damaged Farm Produce, Farmers Indemnifies For Killed Cows In Anambra

HERDSMEN in Anambra State are to pay for agricultural produce they damaged last year while aggrieved farmers who killed cows belonging to the herders are to compensate their owners.

This was the decision reached at a meeting between the leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle breaders Association (MACBAN), community leaders, leaders of farmers association and government officials in the State.

The herdsmen also earned a two weeks ultimatum to make their payments to the affected farmers.

The ultimatum was handed over to them by the State Governor, Willie Obiano.

The South East zonal chairman of MACBA, Alhaji Idris Sadiq Gidado, confirmed the development in an interview with Vanguard Newspaper.

According to Gidado, they have N137,000 to pay the affected communities, adding that it was only Ufuma community that had outstanding compensation that would be paid in the next five days.

He listed Ezeagu, Mbaukwu, Okija, Omo, Aguleri and Ayamelum as communities who have so far been paid.

Gidado noted that while over hundred (100+) cows belonging to herdsmen were killed by angry farmers, Obiano ordered that seventy-eight (78) of them be paid for.

“Cattle that were killed last year by aggrieved farmers in some communities were more than 100, but governor Willie Obiano asked the communities to pay for 78 cattle whose cost stood at N50, 000 each,” he said.

The leader of the herdsmen disclosed that it was resolved that “if a herdsman destroys farmers crops, the owner of the cattle will pay heavy compensation to the farmers whose crops were destroyed while if a cattle is killed, the community will either produce the killer or pay compensation to the owner of the cattle at the current market value.”

Obiano, do you know you're stupid?

How could you accept that your people should pay over 3.9million to herdsmen who looked for their trouble while the herdsmen pay in thousands?

You need to learn from Fayose.

What about raping of women and girls and killing of humans how much is that compensation?

Anambra people are cutting deal with the devil

Arrant nonsense

when will the families of those killed revenge.

fair enough...

Anambra Nkem? Making a deal with the devil



Nonsense

a

50k multiply by 78. Then herdsmen are to pay just 137k

Which kind cheating be this

Who else thinks this is extremely stupid?

The Herdsmen are to pay just N137000. Money that isn't even to that of 3 cows that the Anambra people were asked to pay.

N50000 × 78. Do the math yourself.

Those people are finished. QED.

Okay

Who were those that said Fulani herdsmen could not enter Anambra state? Wey dem dey?

We shall see the outcome of this friendship of the most uncivilised people in Nigeria.

Old news.They should carry their cows and go back to their respective states for God sake.

not fair enough, what was the major cause. no cows would 've been killed if no farm produce were destroyed. The heardsmen came to devour the farmers labour

Then who will afford to pay for the soul Fulani herdsmen kills?

A good step in the right direction. Dialogue is the key. Well done Obiano. Ipob see u na life!

Nice but why is it difficult for them to take their cow to the bush area for grazing instead of encroaching on peoples farmland always.

This is better than bloodbath as witnessed in other states but is it sustainable?

Its a better deal for all,its the reality for reasonable ones farmerslives matter and also herdsmen lives matter!the way forward must be fashioned out for peace to reign.ONLY the foolish and highly unreasonable will think/do otherwise.
