It Is Time To Check Madness Of Herdsmen Killers – Gani Adams by nairavsdollars(f): 4:23pm On Jul 03, 2018
Iba Gani Adams, Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland has called for an urgent Security Summit in the South West where the rampaging killings by suspected herdsmen can be discussed.
In a statement, he personally signed on Tuesday, Adams said it is worrisome that while bloodthirsty maniacs are on the prowl killing and maiming innocent Nigerians, the federal government seems helpless to curtail the situation.
The statement read: “Events of the last few months have shown that Nigeria is at the crossroads, Strange things are happening in the country. Blood thirsty maniacs are on the rampage, killing and maiming innocent Nigerians.

“The insecurity in the land is reaching an alarming peak. Pitiably, the ‘clear and present danger’ today is that the government seems helpless to curtail the situation.
“In some sections of the country, it is no longer ‘breaking news’ that marauders kill farmers at will. Because these killings are giving patriotic Nigerians the creeps, patriots are shouting themselves hoarse, telling the government to do something urgent to check the trend. While members of the comity of nations are alarmed about happenings in our country, it appears as if they are crying more than the bereaved.

“Although the government has promised to check the rampaging lunatics, Nigerians are still not convinced of a decisive clampdown on these killers.
Thousands of lives have been lost to these sons of Lucifer, but it is strange that not even a single arrest or prosecution has been affected.
Without sounding immodest, the more than 60 million Yoruba in this geographical space are the most accommodating ethnic group.
Yoruba sons and daughters are dedicated to the Nigerian project, promoting peace and unity in the land.
When I was installed as the 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland by His Imperial Majesty, Iku Baba Yeye and Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, on January 13, 2018, I vowed that I would do everything to project the image and protect the name of Yorubaland.
Sadly, my zeal to protect Yorubaland and the will of millions of Yoruba to defend their fatherland are being tested with the invasion of some parts of our land by these killers.
I find it difficult to comprehend this open insult that some killers, whose kinsmen live in our villages, towns and cities, will invade Yorubaland at will, kidnap, rape and, in some bizarre situations, kill some of our sons and daughters.
The borders of Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo and Kogi states are becoming too hot for indigenes as many people have been kidnapped, leading to soldiers going after these killers deep inside the forest.
Recently, the Officer-in-Charge of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Saki Unit, Oyo State Police Command, was killed by these marauders.
I ask, if we allow killings of innocent farmers and destruction of farmlands in any part of Yorubaland to continue, where is our determination to defend the Yoruba society, values and territory?
Obviously, our silence is being misconstrued for foolishness. We cannot continue to expose the flanks of Yoruba societies and communities to incursions and attacks because we have enough hunters, traditionalists, farmers and ancestral security outfits to commence the maximum protection of all parts of Yorubaland.
Strangers are gradually taking over parts of our land but according to history, marauders, arsonists and murderous gangs failed, and will continue to fail, to conquer Yorubaland.
The first fundamental right of a Nigerian is the ‘Right to Life’. The day will never come when Yoruba men, women, adults and infants can no longer move freely in their fatherland. Insult from these killers to the Yoruba Nation is gradually creeping in. You will recall that Senator Ayo Arise was recently abducted on his way to Abuja.
“A Methodist priest was also abducted in Osun. Our traditional institution was desecrated on June 23 when Olori Olukemi Agunloye, the wife of Oba Samuel Kehinde Agunloye, the Alauga of Auga Akoko, in Akoko North-East Local Government Area of Ondo State, was abducted on the notorious Auga/Ise Road in the Akoko area of the state.
“The next day, more than 200 innocent men, women and children were killed in Plateau State. Are we going to wait for this type of barbaric killing to happen before we rise against this evil in Yorubaland? Time to check this madness is now”.
“Therefore, , I urge to urgently liaise with Executives in Yorubaland to convene a South-West Security Summit to be held in one of the state capitals. The meeting will involve, among others, traditional rulers, religious and opinion leaders, farmers, businessmen, herders and security agents in the region. This is the time for us to act before the situation becomes unbearable” he said.

Gani Adams, a born warrior, true son of Oranyam.

AARE-ONA KAKANFO

Aare-ona kakanfo is an entitlement given to a brave warrior by the Alafin of Oyo. This chieftaincy was created as a result of attack on the yorubas by external forces (ibaribas, another clan). The duty of protecting the Yoruba's was given to aara-ona kakanfo, the duty to go to war and conquer was bestowed on him. The aare-ona kakanfo must be brave and courageous man who is not afraid to face the deadliest of adventure and he must always be prepared for war. Aare-ona kakanfo must be fearless, conqueror and brutal soul. One aspect is that anyone named aare-ona kakanfo must not live in the same town with Alafin because he his also regarded as a min king due to the heavy power bestowed on him (terrestrial power). Aare-ona kakanfo can fight more than one battle at a time.





Past Aare-kakanfo
Yoruba has install fifteen (15) aare-ona since its inception. All this warriors has being solely crowned by the Alafin with the approval of the Oyo mesi and the Ogbonis.
Here are the list of the past Aare-kakanfo and the newly installed one.

Right to life.


A secondary school girl broke down in tears up in returning home from school for the holiday but met her family home razed to the ground and her dad killed in the recent herdsmen-farmer clashes in Plateau State.

According to reports, Chap had just returned from school for the holidays but was told she couldn’t go home because her community was attacked and she was taken to the IDP camp with the hope of reuniting with her parents and siblings.

On getting to the IDP camp in Heipang, she was told her dad was burnt to death during the crisis, the little girl burst into tears immediately.

This is a good solution, so how come it wasn't applied?

The Grazing Reserve Bill: In a bid to curb curb the violent clashes by Fulani herdsmen in the country, a bill, sponsored by Senator Zainab Kure, representing Niger Central in the Seventh Senate was presented for consideration but was rejected by the last Senate. The Bill has however been revived in the present political dispensation and presently before the House of Representatives. Titled; “National Grazing Reserve (Establishment) Bill 2016”, sponsored by Hon. Sadiq Ibrahim, it provides for the establishment of the National Grazing Reserve Commission which shall have power to among other things establish at least one Cattle Reserve in each state of the federation.

The Commission is also mandated to:
Manage, control and maintain the Cattle Reserves;
Prescribe the persons who may be licensed to use the Grazing Reserves and determine the type and number of stock permitted therein;
Prescribe the manner in which the Grazing Reserves may be put to use;
Fix charges for the Grazing Reserves;
Maintain and Ensure, in co-operation with the Nigerian Police, the security of lives and property within the Reserve;
Provide for and issue grazing permits to persons grazing within the Reserves;
Develop infrastructure and basic amenities such as clinic, schools, etc within the Reserves;
Demarcate the land boundaries of the Grazing Reserves;
And prosecute persons who graze outside the Grazing Reserves and other offenders of the Regulations of the Commission.
The bill is engulfed in a lot of controversies, but despite that, it has scaled the second reading in the Senate.
