See What Sunday Igboho Said After Being Accuse Of Giving Herdsmen Money to Buy Arms (Details below)

The management of T Pumpy Concept Limited has cleared the air on the reports making the rounds on social media that it recently doled out millions to Fulani herdsmen in FCT to buy arms.

Recall that the real estate firm through its Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer Adaralegbe Akintayo, had last week resettled over 52 Fulani households in Abuja community.

The estate developer had earlier acquired the land at phase 24, Lugbe, with the original allottees and Gbagyi farmers duly compensated.

However, in a bid to resolve the accommodation crisis of the Fulanis who were taking refuge on the land of the company, the T. Pumpy boss gave an average of N200,000 to each of the 52 Fulani households.

His benevolence was, however, twisted by some social media users who claimed he gave the Fulani herdsmen money to buy arms.

Reacting to the development, Mr. Akintayo told journalists at a press conference on Tuesday that the report is false, baseless and unfounded.

He, therefore, urged the general public to disregard it in its entirety.

Mr. Adaralegbe, who was flanked by Abubakar Suleiman, Chairman of FCT Fulani Dan Allah Development Association of Nigeria, said at no point did he pay ransom to herders, rather, he showed humanitarian gesture to the Fulani people who were living in huts constructed on an expanse of land he acquired for the purpose of building an estate.

His words, “This press conference became imperative following the reports making the round on social media that we gave Fulani herders in Abuja money to purchase arms. This report is baseless, false and unfounded. We are estate developers and all our lands are government-approved. The story you are reading on social media is false. Some people are just being callous with the video.

“Let me tell you what happened; if you get land through government acquisition, it is normal that you find farmers and some settlers there. On this particular land, we were able to identify the real farmers which are Gbagyis and we settled them for all their farm crops and their farm produce.

“We discovered that there is also Fulani settlement (huts) on the same land where they rear their cows and where they have been residing for about 30 years. They told me that they have been living there for about three decades. And we are humans. We had to negotiate with them and tell them that we had allocation to the land and want them to vacate the place, and they agreed. We agreed to give them N200, 000 per hut and we settled them. It was not an inducement or giving them money to buy arms as being circulated in the social media.

“That is far from the truth and a statement from the pit of hell. The FCT Chairman of the Fulanis is physically here and can explain what transpired between my organisations and his people.

“T Concept Ltd is committed to complimenting government’s effort in the housing sector of the economy. It is a Pan Nigeria brand which has estates at Guzape, Lugbe, Karasana, Kuje, Wawa, Katampe, Kwali, Kyami, Life Camp and other parts of Abuja. It is also committed to peaceful resolution of issues and coexistence among Nigerians.”

On his part, the, Chairman of FCT Fulani Dan Allah Development Association of Nigeria, Abubakar Suleiman said there was nothing like payment of ransom or giving out money to buy arms.

“We have been on that land for about 30 years. God brought this oga (T Pumpy boss) who wants to develop the land. He settled the Gbagyis farming on the land first before us. My people said they also deserved to be compensated for their huts and they invited me as their Chairman in the Federal Capital Territory.

“When I got there, I met the developers clearing one side of the land. I talked to the site Engineer on how I can meet the
