Yoruba elders yesterday called for an end to the activities of Fulani herdsmen in the Southwest, following the abduction of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, on his farm in Ilado, Akure, Ondo State. They made their position known in a communiqué at the end of an emergency summit at the Parliament Building of the Oyo State secretariat complex, Agodi, Ibadan yesterday. At the meeting were the President of the Yoruba Council of Elders ( YCE), Gen Adeyinka Adebayo, Sir Olaniwun Ajayi, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Chief Idowu Sofola, Dr Frederick Fasehun, Bishop Ayo Ladigbolu, Prof Banji Akintoye, Prof Adetowun Ogunseye and Dr Kunle Olajide. They described Falae’s abduction as unacceptable. The enraged elders emphasised that failure of the herdsmen to heed their warning could lead to dire consequences. In the communiqué read by Olajide, who chairs the Planning Committee, the group also called for the arrest and trial of Falae’s abductors. Reiterating that the incessant invasion of farmlands by the herdsmen and subsequent killing of farmers were part of the flawed federal system, the Yoruba leaders restated the call for true federalism and restructuring of the nation to enable each region develop at its own pace. The communiqué reads: “Yoruba leaders of thought both at home and in diaspora had an emergency summit in response to the clear and present danger to the continued existence of our people. “After an extensive and inclusive debate on the threat to our survival, especially after the unprovoked, unwarranted, mindless and serial attacks on the economic rights of our people by the Fulani cattle rearers which has led to loss of precious lives, rape and criminal abduction of our people. “Despite the non aggressive disposition of the Yoruba, we have been victims of violent violations from our hostile neighbours from pre colonial days to modern times. “From the 18th century, the Fulani jihadists’ onslaught against the Yoruba through the travails of Chief Obafemi Awolowo through the June 12 saga with the latest wars declared on our people, we have always risen above board as we strive to make our neighbours see the need to deal justly and fairly not because we are cowards but because God created us to fight only as a last resort. “Despite the untold injustices meted on us over the years, we remain the only one of the numerous tribes that has ever questioned the corporate existence of Nigeria. “Falae’s abduction was sequel to the running battles he has had with these Fulani herdsmen, who had invaded his farmland and destroyed his produce. “The return of the herdsmen is a declaration of war on the Yoruba, Falae’s abduction is a continuation of attacks which these herdsmen have unleashed on our people over the years. “We cannot afford to leave our people at the mercy of violence of these herdsmen who came to destroy their economic rights and kill them. “We demand immediate end to lawless cattle razing in Yorubaland and ask all those who want to engage in cattle business to do animal husbandry, to establish ranches, our people are no longer prepared to allow further encroachment on their farmlands.” Read More... 2 Likes |

9jacrip: Apparently, claiming that they run/own Lagos pisses people off more than attacking people's farms and killing 'em. Maybe if Igbos stopped mouthing off and attack people on their farms instead, they won't be seen as a problem/threat anymore. 5 Likes |

Wulfruna: I was surprised when I saw my fellow Yoruba twisting the event so as to place the blame on the Igbo; I wondered to myself, was Falae blind or what to have confused Fulani for Igbo? Or do they know better than the victim? It is horrible, it has gotten offline but has not exploded into an open conflict yet. 7 Likes |

macof: These so called Yoruba elders are not the current leaders of the Yoruba people. These oldie's whose opinions are no longer relevant Yorubaland. I would have taken the warning seriously if the likes of Tinubu, Arigbe, Amosun, and other true Yoruba leaders issued the warning. These old coots do not respect the constitution of this great country and should be summarily arrested for threatening the security of Yoruba land by their irresponsible utterances. nansense.  |
