Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho has vowed that Fulani
herdsmen must be chased out of Yoruba land.
He was reacting to the order given by the Inspector General
of Police, Mohammed Adamu, for his arrest.
Igboho had last week giving the Fulani residing and doing
business in Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government of Oyo State a 7-day
ultimatum to leave the area.
And a week later, he made good his threat when he and his
supporters stormed the area insisting that the Fulani must leave the town.
A Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity,
Garba Shehu told the BBC yesterday that the Inspector General of Police, IGP
Mohammed had ordered the arrest of Igboho for giving quit notice to Fulani
herdsmen.
But in series of tweets on Saturday night, Igboho recalled
some instances where the herdsmen had killed and mained and destroyed property
without the government ordering their arrests.
He tweeted: “And it’s not a crime to Kill doctor akorede?
whose farm was invaded and destroyed by Fulani cows, later went to Seriki
Fulani house to lay complain, but was tied and butchered and nothing happened?
“This one we have started here in Oyo State will not end
here. We are going to other parts of the South-West. Tell herdsmen in Ekiti
State, Ondo State and Osun states; in fact, in all South-West states that we
are coming.
“This is not about politics, money or fame but the freedom
of Yoruba nation from the killer Fulani herdsmen.
“FG did not order the Inspector general of Police to find
and arrest the killer of Dr Aborode, Oko Oloyu and other prominent Yoruba
elites kidnapped at Ibarapa Oyo state but they are planning to arrest me. Let’s
see how it goes.
“We are taking back our land from all these Fulani herdsmen
terrorising us. May God help us.”
