The embattled Sarkin Fulani of Igangan, in Ibarapa Local
Government of Oyo State, Salihu Abdulkadir, on Thursday resurfaced in Ilorin,
Kwara State.
Addressing newsmen at a press conference, Abdulkadir said ”
Given the conspiracy by the police with the natives of Igangan, I and my people
will not feel comfortable returning to Igangan.
“We have learnt that the government had deployed over 200
Amotekun personnel to the forests in Oyo.
“Who will these Amotekun men meet in the forests other than the Fulani?” he asked.
Sarkin Abdulkadir denied conniving with kidnappers operating
in the Igangan area as alleged by Mr Sunday Adeyemo, (aka) Sunday Igboho and
knowledge of the killing of Dr Aborode.
“On the issue of the killing of one Dr Aborode, I don’t know
anything about it. Where Dr Aborode was killed is very far from my village,” he
declared.
Abdulkadir, said, “all the allegations against him were
concocted by Sunday Igboho with the sole aim of getting the Fulani out of
Igangan and other parts of Yoruba land.”
He asserted that “I and my family have been living in
Igangan for over 50 years without any challenges from the people or any other
places.”
The sarkin Fulani appealed to emirs and other traditional
rulers in the 19 Northern states to come to the rescue of the Fulani residents
in the South West.
He equally called on the Federal government to probe the
burning of his house, vehicles and the killing of seven of his men in Igangan
by alleged agents of Sunday Igboho.
Recall that the Sarkin Fulani of Igangan was recently sent
packing from Igangan by Sunday Igboho over the alleged kidnapping of some
indigenes and other criminal acts levelled against him and his people.
