stoppage of cattle rearing activities in the south
West states following the menace of Fulani
herdsmen.

herdsmen in the states have endangered the lives of
the people.
Spokesman of the group, Yinka Odumakin said that
their activities should be stopped in” every space of
Yorubaland just as he called for those the arrest of
those who abducted a Chieftain of the group Chief
Olu Falae.
Odumakin declared that ” In the event this call is not
yielded then our people may result to self help to
protect themselves.
The meeting last over six hours and it was chaired
by its National Chairman, Pa Reuben Fasoranti at his
Country home in Akure.
They group described the attack and abduction of
one of its leaders who was the former Secretary to
the Government of the Federation SGF, Chief Olu
Falae as an insult on the race.
A Communique read to newsmen by Odumakin said
“We demand that nomadic cattle rearing should be
stopped in every state of Yoruba land.
“We believe now that after what has happened to
chief Falae, people would not tolerate such thing in
any part of Yoruba land.
“So while we await the arrest of the criminals, the
cattle rearing should be stop in Yoruba land.
“Yoruba people go to any part of the country to
trade,no history or record of such anywhere that the
Yorubas destroy the business of their host. What we
cannot do to others, nobody should do it to us.
Odumakin said that the meeting” decried insecurity
in the country as relate to the unrelenting blood
letting by the terrorist Boko Haram and the wave of
unchecked kidnapping going on in the country.
“A special focus was beam on the recent abduction
of one of our revered leader in Afenifere, Chief Olu
Falae, also a former secretary to the government of
the federation and former presidential
candidates,while on his farm.
“We describe this as scandalous and chilling that the
harrowing experience of the 77 year old man in the
hands of vandals,miscreants.
“The Meeting did not considers it as a mere
coincidence that chief Olu Falae for two to three
years has been having running battles with the
Fulani herdsmen on the very farm before he was
abducted.
“Last of such was about two months earlier when
they enter his farmland and destroyed it and chief
Falae pursue the matter with the police and
grudgingly accepted half of what the police said they
should pay as compensation.
“The fulani elements coming to abduct him two
months latter, is presumably a vengeance mission
for justice that he pursued against the invasion of
his farm and the destruction of his hand work.
”The meeting recalled that for years, farmers in
Yoruba land has been expressing what chief Falae
was going through in the hands of this nomadic
cattle rearers
“You will recalled that in year 2000 in Oke Ogun area
of Oyo state, the fulani herdsmen and farmers had a
major clash which led to a strong delegation from
Arewa consultative forum to storm the office of the
office of the then Governor Lam Adesina in a rowdy
and angry manner on behalf of fulani .
“The meeting also noted that the 2014 national
conference in which chief Falae led the Yoruba
delegation ,extensively discuss this matter of
nomadic cattle rearing and the conference resolved
the it should be stopped and instead have ranches
for cattle business.
“We condemned the abduction of Chief olu Falae and
his gruesome experience as shameful, insensitive
and a violent violation of Yoruba culture, values and
space.

Lol

really. now this is freaking hilarious

Those Afenifre guys are cowards..... Everybody knows..... So, Fulani Herdsmen, make una relax jor..... Dem no get mouth

Pls Mod move this to front page.

Right Step in the Right Direction

Lalasticlala

on a serious note i think this issue is sad. For aa SSG to be kidnapped and the NPF had no clue on how to go about it is sad. nothing done and they had the audacity to come out and say they resued a man who was dropped off and had to walk for a while to get to a police check point.


i find it amazing that we are still at this level where there is no intelligence gathering, no investigation, no form of monitoring, nothing going on yet we have a police force.



on the afenifere statement i feel in as much as they are pained its not the way forward. we all have to come together to make this nation great not yoruba alone or ibo alone all of NIGERIA. we all will enjoy it and it starts from the eladership, we must learn to hold our leaders accountable and not hero worship them whenever they appear. if they know they would be stoned and most likely be lynched like common criminals anytime they show thier faces i bet you this country would not be like this.

instead we have clowns claiming politician as a proffession.






all the same SHAME to NPF

I have always maintained that the problem with Nigeria boils down to one single word - FULANI. simple.

Our government needs to take action soonest otherwise we may be having a worse than Boko haram issue to deal with
