Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
State has condemned the killing of a father of two, Olayemi Tunde, 32, in Ipao,
in Ikole Local Government Area of Ekiti State by suspected herdsmen.
We had reported that
Olayemi, a commercial motorcyclist who had a farm in Ipao Ekiti had gone to his
farm to harvest some cassava when he met his death.
Reacting, The governor, while
calling on the federal government to wake up to its responsibility of
protecting lives and properties vowed to bring the perpetrators to book.
Fayose wrote, ”How can we be
having IDPs everywhere when no country is at war with us and we are not
fighting civil war? Why are we becoming refugees in our own country owing to
incessant attacks by supposed herdsmen? Why is the FG afraid to treat these
criminal herdsmen as terrorists?
”I call on the FG, which controls
all security apparatus in the country to wake up to its responsibility of
protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians, especially against these
criminal herdsmen that are now acting more like terrorists.
”As God liveth, Ekiti under my
leadership will not be a State where you kill anyone and go scot-free. Those
who killed Olayemi Tunde in Ipao Ekiti yesterday (be they herdsmen or anything)
will be fished out and punished in accordance with our laws.I sympathize with his
families.”
