The Federal Government’s plan to meet with Miyetti Allah, however, has drawn the ire of different socio-political groups in the country. The ACF does not, however, see anything wrong with the talks the Umahi committee is to hold with the cattle breeders. They have not brought one person to book, but they are negotiating with the murderers; this is an invitation to anarchy.”The Ohanaeze Ndigbo also questioned the objective of the dialogue with Miyetti Allah. The National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Uche Achi-Okpaga, told one of our correspondents that there was nothing to negotiate. Will they ask them (herdsmen) what the government should do to placate them before they will stop killing defenceless Nigerians?
