Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
Jimi Agbaje, a former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday said youths who gave ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen to vacate Yorubaland must have acted out frustration after the government repeatedly failed to listen to their cries and save them from incessant attacks from bandits while the perpetrators were also not prosecuted.

Violence had erupted in Igangan, Ibarapa, on Friday when a popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, alongside his followers, stormed the Fulani settlement in the ancient town to eject Seriki Fulani, Salihu Abdukadir, and herdsmen accused of perpetrating crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, rape to invasion of farmlands with their cattle.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, Agbaje said it is time for the federal government to take decisive action by arresting and prosecuting any killer herdsmen or bandits found breaking the laws both in the North and the South.

He however cautioned all the parties involved to address the issue with caution and avoid statements that can further aggravate the already tensed situation.

He said “I think what has been missing in particular in the farmers, herdsmen clashes is the fact that there has not been diligent prosecution. And because of our faultlines in this country, it has exacerbated the situation and made it even worse. We haven’t seen diligent arrest and prosecution of both the bandits in the north and the herdsmen in the south”.

“The moment government decides that enough is enough, go after these bandits, arrest and prosecute them, then we will know that we are going in the right direction. That is not happening at the moment. The youths are working from the point of frustration, nobody feels safe anywhere in the country”.
“However, I do not subscribe to addressing the issue in an uneven manner. In other words, the way you treat them here is the way you must treat them in the north. That is the reality and people must see it to be so”.

“We should also call on all sides to douse the tension, because things like this can lead to a direction that no one can imagine. We should not fan the embers of the situation but must do everything to calm it down”.
In 21st century, we don’t want to see cattle on our roads and expressway. But there has to be a measure of fair play. That is very important.

"We cannot have a situation where herdsmen will go to farms, not just in the South but in the North and their cattle will eat up all the produce on the farms.It is no longer acceptable. You must find a way to run your cattle the same way we must have a way to run our farms. The only way we can do that is to everybody in their own chamber".

If the same energy they are using against ESN and IPOB is the same they are using against herdsmen, the attacks would have reduced to the barest minimum but unfortunately we have a mannequin in charge of a Nation of over 200 Million intelligent people.



Miyetti says no night grazing in Yoruba land and I am very sure that they are saying this to douse the ongoing tension and the hit the are getting from the SW region in no time they will re-strategize and plan on how to over run Yoruba land

However I am proud right now to be an Omoluabi because when we cough everyone feels it, if it was some other region Sunday Igboho would have been arrested and Military zombies would have laid siege in Igboho's home town or wherever he resides.

To ESN guard and protect your land from Fulani Army that are killing innocent and unarmed civilians in Orlu at the moment, chuku okiki biam see you through and give u victory over them. Amen.

The Government say Dem no want war but with everything Buhari and his military are doing this war might be inevitable.

Fáyemí had initially planned to carve out land from that town for the
purpose of ruga exercise that his father in Abuja wants to do. The
townsfolk still angry from the initial Fulani illegal occupation and
subsequent murder of an indegene took decisive action.

Buhari the president of Fulani nation... what baffles me is how the condemned Robotic Machine will keep mute over the killing of other tribes by his people but roar like a lion once his people are threatened. Very soon it’s battery will be drained. Ewobi

Insecurity in this country isn't happening outside the knowledge of Nigeria and its devilish govt. Gen. Sani Abacha said "any insecurity that lasts for more than 24hrs, the government has hand in it". This is what's happening in Nigeria & it seems not ending soon.

There are many things the government can do to protect the rights of its citizens. One thing the government can do is to guarantee these rights in a written document such as the Constitution.

The first ten amendments to our Constitution, called the Bill of Rights, guarantee basic freedoms of the Nigerian people. For example, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms.

The government must also protect its citizens when there is an attempt to take away their rights. Currently, the government is fighting the threat created by terrorist attacks. By working to stop terrorists, who want to take away some of our rights and freedoms.
