The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has
warned criminal herdsmen in the Southwest to leave immediately.
He said failure to adhere to the warning would mean such
elements were ready to face the wrath of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC).
Adam’s reaction followed the breach of Professor Wole
Soyinka’s Ijegba residence by herders.
In a statement by his spokesman on Thursday, the Yoruba
leader said the encroachment was a threat to the privacy of the Nobel laureate.
Adams said reports available to him from Southwest states
showed that criminal herdsmen have migrated from Ibarapa in Oyo State to Yewa
in Ogun State.
The Aare said this had increased the spate of insecurity,
stressing that the activities of criminal Fulani herdsmen had become
unbearable.
Adams wondered why President Muhammadu Buhari has been
complacent about the security situation in the Southwest.
“We thank God that the recent encroachment on Prof’s
residence failed. The fundamental problem in this country is that we have a
President that seems to be complacent on serious issues.
“It is in our own interest to continue to raise our voices
against the unprecedented threats to the southwest region.”
The Aare advised Southwest governors to boost the
recruitment of OPC, Vigilante and Hunters in Amotekun to further strengthen the
security outfit.
Adams appealed to the Lagos State Government to inaugurate
Amotekun as soon as possible, adding that delay was dangerous.
