The Ogun State Government has debunked reports being circulated in some news media that people affected by herdsmen attacks in some parts of Yewa North and Imeko-Afon Local Government Areas have fled their communities to seek refuge in the neighboring Republic of Benin.

According to the government, the purported movement of the people was that of those who were not actual inhabitants of the communities, but those who came from the neighbouring country to lease farmlands in the area.

The Chairman, Ogun State Peace Keeping Committee on Farmers/Herders Conflict, Kayode Oladele, made this known on Monday, in his remark at a meeting of the Committee, held at the Obas’ Complex Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Oladele said that there was no crisis in Yewaland that would warrant its people to become refugees in another country.

“There was a publication that Yewa farmers are now refugees in Benin Republic, that has no iota of truth. Yewa, being a border community also plays host to other people from our sisters and brothers on the other side of the border, that is on the side of the Republic of Benin.

“We have the Hohori and some Eguns who come from time to time to lease farmland in Yewaland, live with us and they have been doing that for years.

So, when problems and conflicts started, the natural thing is for them to return to their home country. Therefore, many of the people that you are seeing are not actually the original indigenes of Yewa, they are the people from the other side of the border, who because of the crisis have moved to their country.

So, it is not as if Yewa people have relocated, we don’t have a refugee crisis in Yewa, he stated.

Oladele also said that the committee at no time asked the people of Yewaland to stop going to their farms, stressing that the committee has no power to do so.

The Chairman added that the committee only gave an advice to the people residing in the epicenter of the crisis to stay clear of their farms or go in groups if they must go and farm.

According to him, the advice was meant for the residents of the people in Asa and not the whole of Yewaland.

“There was a publication to the effect that this committee has advised Yewa farmers not to go to their farms, indeed, that was inaccurate and misrepresentation of our intent, this committee has no power to order anybody not to go to the farm.

“During one of our fact-finding visits to the affected areas, Asa village is the epicenter of this crisis in Yewa North Local Government.

So, when we got there, the acting Baale of the town, after taking us through the wreckage, told us that there were fears of imminent attacks by the herders, but, in the circumstances they found yourselves, we advised them that they can hold on until everything was okay and that if they must go out to the farm, then, they have to go in groups. That advice was meant for Asa village and not for the whole of Yewa”, Oladele submitted.

Now we know why Hopeless governor Uzodinjo was forced to Ndi Imo

The CCB arrested two Nigerians on charges of drug peddling and seized a stash of cocaine and ecstasy valued at Rs 15 lakh.

The duo was overstaying in the city and had plans to distribute the drugs during Valentine's Day, police said.

The suspects have been identified as John Egwuatu Chinedu (28) and Vincent Ejimofor (37), residents of B Channasandra in Ramamurthynagar.

A team from the Anti-Narcotics Wing of the CCB searched a house rented by John, seizing 60 gms of cocaine and ten gms of ecstasy, and arrested them for storing and selling drugs.

The duo supplied drugs at parties attended by businessmen, students and techies. "The cocaine is of A-grade quality, for which they charge Rs 7,000-8,000 for one gram. The ecstasy's quality is yet to be ascertained," police said.

Good!!!

At least, that's one fulani criminal who, "when he hears yorubas beating the drums of war", wouldn't go back to sleep but rather takes to his heels.

NwaAro:
[s]Of course that's the only "dirt" you can find on the cyberspace relative to herdsmen in the East , by posting old reports from last year before ESN came into existence and limelight and it dims in comparison to the timeline of more worrying Fulani terror in the SW, abi make we begin open our nyansh? How come a whole government, state, youths, yoruba warlord, Amotekun can confront a mere Fulani herdsman who has annexed three villages with the force of arms till date? shouldn't that one worry you more than Governor Ikpeazu paying herdsmen compensation for having their cows butchered by brave farmers?

your sanity worries me at this point, my last reply to you, keep massaging your ego over Abia state when your region has it worse, apparently without Sunday Igboho there are no more men with guts left to do the needful. [/s]

NwaAro:

All this noise yet Wakili has raped all the veritable maidens in Ayete community and still daring Sunday to meet him man to man, I don't care about some old Seriki. Let Igboho go and confront his NEMESIS in his own backyard!! Ogbeni forget all these lame excuses of Seyi Makinde not backing Sunday Igboho to evict Wakili from his conquered territories, isn't it a shame that Sunday has to wait on the state government to face a bandit terrorizing his own home state and even daring him to an open confrontation? Sunday Igboho chased away am old and defenceless Seriki but fulani Bororo's are still erecting new settlements in the same Oyo state! (I even made a post on it).

ESN has commenced a thorough cleansing of the herdsmen from our forests and the governors have seen the real force of the movement by declaring a ban on open grazing in the East as at two days ago, that's the fear of ESN who are now a terror for the criminal bandits. Unlike in the whole of Yorubaland where you can't even defend yourselves until Sunday Igboho does it for you. How can Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun, and Osun states now cope if there's no Sunday Igboho? are the rest of the youths in the SW cowards who depend on one man to save them?

Meanwhile in the space of just two days, Fulanis have fuvked your people in the arse all over the SW, you see why it's bad to be a race of crybaby cowards who depend on one man instead of taking your fate in your own hands?

Like I always say, the SE, SW, SZ and Middle belt have one common enemy and we shouldn't be doing all this petty d**k measuring contest cause we're all suffering from the same menace, but it's appears this whole Fulani situation is a chest beating ego thing for you yorubas, like it's some competition or something, when it's obvious it's your region that has had it worse than any region in Nigeria from herdsmen in recent times... pride won't allow you to admit it, your problem is a governor paying Herdsmen for cows killed in Abia state, while three whole villages have been annexed right under your nose in Oyo state with your governor, warlord and Amotekun afraid to confront a single man!

NwaAro:
[/s]
[s]A governor giving compensation for a farmers land destroyed or a herdsman's livestock is no big deal, I'm sure your governors are doing the same, at least the farmers are sending a clear message to any would-be trespassers by killing their cows. ESN operatives have been killing the so called cows and driving away the herdmen and there has been no evidence those estranged herdmen have been compensated by the state GOVERNMENT.

You can't compare that to your villages getting annexed by turban-wearing bandits and your ancestral homes renamed from yoruba names to Fulfude like is happening in Oyo state. A whole OPC member was killed like a rat in Ondo yesterday and we didn't see you show up on that thread! , focus on the limitless disasters plaguing your region and leave the East to deal with the herdsmen menace THE ESN way! [/s]

NwaAro:
Here we go again with the d**k measuring , only yesterday herdsmen attacked a community in Ondo state, abducted a farmer and even killed an OPC member but that one escaped your attention.

Meanwhile have you liberated Ayete community from the new Jagaban of Oyo state - Mallam Iskali Waliki?

Karlovic:
It was on the local news recently, her name is Bisola Akinyemi and she was heading to Brazil before she was caught, nice one from the Immigration Officers.

Salewa97:
These people are still fighting over their 5plot of land that has been destroyed by erosion.

Why won’t they fight when Obiano is paying the Fulanis 70k per cow killed instead of using the money to stop erosion of their land.

This is just a mediocre job

Imagine advocating for a well known drug lord to be president. Tufiakwa. Nigeria has truly gone to the dogs. Evil men have the upper hand. I give up

Rugaria:
[s]That you lack ambitions shouldn't be my headache! It's the same way you handed the country over to some wild cultures and today you are forming Amotekun to guard against your creations!
Even at that,
How many Yoruba C-in-Cs since 1966?
How many Yoruba GOCs?
And why should the north dominate perenially?
Is the military, customs and police some properties of some sections of the country?
If you're culturally prepared for subservience to your desert gods, some other people are not! So instead of fouling the air with your convoluted logic, you should rather scurry back to which ever hole you wriggled out from when any other group feel the need to demand for equality.[/s].

Rugaria:
And because those are elective positions, that's why there has been only ONE igbo Army Chief since 1966!? Oyah, go ahead and defend the indefensible as usual....

Ikology:
[s]Why not include Chief of defense staff, NAVY, Airforce, Police, immigration etc.[/s]

Rugaria:
But there was a Yoruba president! A Yoruba vice president! And Yoruba major ministers!
Guy, if you don't know what to say, just zip it!
