A Fulani herdsman has escaped after he was caught spying on
some Yoruba Kings and traditionalists during a meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo State
capital.
The meeting was to address the worsening security situation
in the South West region.
The meeting, organised by the Chief Taiye Ayorinde-led
Yoruba World Assembly-led and Secretary General, Dr Victor Taiwo, was held at
the Western Hall, Parliament Building Secretariat Ibadan.
The meeting also attracted a large crowd from Oyo, Osun,
Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun States.
However, there was apprehension at some point of the
gathering, after a suspected Fulani herdsman spied on them and bolted away as
soon as he was detected.
This development was said to have drawn the anger of Sango
worshippers, hunters who rained curses on him.
His Royal Majesty, Oba Moses Oladejo Oyediran, Ogunsua of
Modakeke was just about to drop the microphone when one of the organizers
announced the presence of the herder.
He said, “We just discovered that a Fulani herder had just
spied on us at this meeting. He had recorded all the proceedings and when he
noticed he had been detected, he ran away”.
“All the traditionalists here, you saw what happened. You
should do the needful. We didn’t invite him”.
Speaking earlier in the meeting, Oba Oyediran had called on
all traditionalists to put their ‘resources’ together to fight the common
enemy.
“We are the powers that our forefathers left for us. When
these powers are there, why then should these aliens trample upon us. They came
to us with sticks, clubs. If it was in the olden days, Oro would come out,” he
said.
“Yoruba has a lot of traditional security systems but we
don’t use it. If you have friends or relatives that you are not compatible
with, then they stay away from you.”
He said the traditionalists must come together and apply the
defense mechanism that their ancestors have provided for them to fight
insecurity in the region.
“Let all the traditionalists come together; combine their
powers to fight the common enemy,” he beaconed.
