The South East Governors Forum have rejected the demand by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) for establishment of a vigilante group in the southeast to protect their members.
MACBAN made the proposal during the Southeast Security Summit held in Enugu last week.
The summit was convened by the Southeast Governors’ Forum to proffer solution to lingering clashes between herders and farmers in the region.
The clashes have led to killings and destruction of farmlands.
Since the report of MACBAN’s demands last week, harsh reactions have been directed at the governors by various interest groups in the zone.
Many more condemnations were also directed at the governors on social media, with many alleging that the governors were in agreement with MACBAN on the issue.
But, the governors on Monday denied ever being ready to allow such suggestions come to fruition.
The chairman of the forum and governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, stated this in a statement in Abakaliki.
The statement was released by his chief press secretary, Emmanuel Uzor.
Mr Umahi described the allegation of the governors allowing MACBAN to form vigilante groups as strange.
“I find it extremely strange for anybody to think that none locals in any part of the country including South East could be allowed to form vigilante outfit.
“Finally, no Miyetti vigilante in South East. No cattle ranch or colony, but, we must live peacefully with herdsmen that do not destroy our farm land, especially those that were born here and have lived peacefully with us. All South East governors are together on this position,” the governor said.

Following Trish's exit, which left many viewers reeling after she was tipped as one of the favourites to win the show, fans speculated over AJ's one-word response. Many believe they caught AJ saying 'what?' after it was revealed that Trish would be the second evictee of the night, after Chanelle was booted from the house. They suggested that the Big Brother host was just as shocked as viewers that Trish was leaving the house just a week before the live final. After it was announced that Trish would be leaving, AJ's reaction was caught due to the close proximity of her microphone. One account, wrote: 'AJ Odudu saying 'what?!' accidentally down her mic into the house after Trish was evicted I… she really is one of us #BBUK.'

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
