Gana said in the video: “I followed the Fulani herdsmen, they led me to Niger after that they led me to Cameroon after that they led me Nigeria and they started saying that they had clashed in Nigeria.
“They told me they have about four states they want to capture being Plateau, Taraba, Benue and Nasarawa state. The Fulani herdsmen brought people to me and they told me that the people will choose which state to sponsor, so the person that called me said he wants to sponsor us to capture Taraba state.
“So when I went to collect the brief for the job (capturing of Taraba state) to start, I told them that they should give me N1 billion, the sponsors said the money was too much and they started negotiating after which they gave me N50 million and I told them N50 million was too small that they should give me at least N750 million because Taraba state has tight security so they should give me the money so I can negotiate with the security agents in Taraba and know how the fight will go on but the sponsors said that was too much and they gave me N350 million but I refused to fight with N350 million.” Asked if he collected the N350 million, Gana replied: “No”.
“When I refused, they didn’t give me the money because the money was too small to fight against the security in Taraba state.”
