The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural
group, Afenifere, has urged the governors in the South-West to emulate the
Ekiti State Government by putting in place appropriate laws to deal with the
activities of the herdsmen in the region
Publicity Secretary of the group,
Yinka Odumakin, stated this while addressing reporters in Akure after the
monthly meeting of the association held at the residence of its leader, Chief
Reuben Fasoranti.
Odumakin, in a communiqué he read
after the meeting, accused the Federal Government of showing no concern at the
incessant attacks of the Fulani herdsmen on the people of the South-West and
Middle-Belt.
He expressed worry over the
renewed onslaught of Fulani herdsmen in Yoruba land.
His words: “Recently, a Permanent
Secretary of Osun origin, Mrs. Funke Kolawole was killed on Okene-Lokoja road
on her way to Abuja.
“Also, another 72-year-old woman
was recently gang-raped in Odigbo area of Ondo State and the hoodlums are yet
to be brought to book and of course Chief Olu Falaye, whose farm has become a
source of attacks by the Fulani herdsmen.
“It’s high time all the governors
in the South-West emulated the Ekiti State Government by putting in place
appropriate laws to deal with the activities of the herdsmen in the region.”
