AFTER the forceful exit of Fulani herders from Igangan in Ibarapa North local government area of Oyo state by youths in the town, a mandatory curfew has been imposed by Oro worshippers.
The curfew, Vanguard gathered, will expire by 12 noon on Sunday.


Igangan Development Advocates (IDA), Mr Oladokun Oladiran, leader of the association, dismissed the claims that the festival was to ward off any reprisal attacks by the herders.

He explained that the Oro festival which usually lasts seven days began about six days ago. During the festival, restriction of movement is enforced especially for women and non-indigenes of the town.

He said, “Things are quiet in Igangan as Oro festival curfew is now ongoing. It’s been on for some days now. Today (Saturday) is ‘Ahamo’, meaning stay indoors.

“All must be indoor. It has been on since the last seven days but today (Saturday) is the peak. All women will be indoors until around 12 noon tomorrow (Sunday).”

He said for the first time, residents of the town could now breathe a sigh of relief.He noted that hundreds of people in Ibarapa would be eternally grateful to Sunday Igboho for coming to their rescue.

He said, “Year in the year, year out, several years under the continuous woes of Fulani banditry, Igangan’s hope of regaining their peace kept being dimmed until Friday, January 21, 2021, when the whole of Ibarapa land suddenly went agog with renewed strength of reclaiming their land.” “The long-awaited sought and longed for a ray of hope for liberation glimmered in the form of Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho. Such a massive uproar might never have attended any saga in recent Ibarapa history.”

“It was not surprising, for not a single household in Ibarapa North-West LCDA could boast of unscathed life in the hand of the ever-terrorizing herders.

“For several years, farm plundering was their full-time business which grew audaciously in leaps and bounds even as the Seriki Saliu ensured that no Fulani was prosecuted even for offences they were caught pants down perpetrating. With no disciplinary measures ever meted out to the now reverential Fulani herdsmen, their audacity has leapt in bounds from just grazing upon the sweats of Ibarapa farmers to maiming and lynching any farmer who dares raise a voice in deference to their destructive resolve.

“And as if it would never end, the era of heart-numbing fear that trickled into the very marrow of Igangan started years ago. Notorious Fulanis criminals increased spates of kidnappings and bloodshed upon the whole of Ibarapaland.” “Coming on the heels of his ascension to a greater throne, Seriki Abdulkadri Saliu who was alleged to have deployed a regimen of some vicious Fulani to depose even a rival Seriki to further solidify his entrenchment and perpetuation in power.

“Having secured this supreme power, the beastly tendencies unleashed upon Ibarapaland took an alarming and heightened dimension as he kept harbouring and shielding all Fulani criminals.

“Men were butchered on their farms, farmers abandoned their indigenous lands as hordes of Fulani took over Ibarapa people’s farmlands.

“This ushered in an era of Fulani clans migrating into the vast fertile and lush lands of the indigenous people of Igangan and Ibarapa. They settled majestically on hijacked lands and even cultivated the lands with landownership authority.”

“It would needlessly infuriate Fulani herdsmen to see the indigenous people of Ibarapa still daring to cultivate their indigenous land. They often feel slighted and insulted by the insistence of the landowners on wanting to farm for their livelihood. “So, in at least a week, a gory butchering of unsuspecting farmers perceived to by Fulani herders as a never-giving up impediment assumed an unchallenged normalcy.”

“Gradually, the people started losing counts of death tolls. Young and old kept being butchered; while the various sordid images of mutilated and dissected bodies form a nightmarish torment upon the people’s memories,” he concluded.

THIS IS FAKE NEWS

stop tagging me here, can't you see the link to my post niiii. Take caution OK. I post with facts and links.

Interesting, they should Kuku change the name of this country to the Federal Republic Of Fulani Herdsmen and declare the rest of us illegal immigrants. Rada Rada!

Ishaq akintola of Muslim right concern(MURIC), declared war on Christians in southern Kaduna, nobody called for his arrest, now the want to arrest this young man, cos he is a nobody,........... Let's wait to see where this whole drama ends.

I know they will never try something funny with Sunday igboho.

irate President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed the use of lethal force against Sunday Igboho and his supporters if they continue to “disturb public peace” in Oyo State, two police sources familiar with the matter told Peoples Gazette on Saturday.

Sunday Igboho, whose real name is Sunday Adeyemo, has been at the forefront of a controversial and illegal attempt to drive Nigerians of Fulani origin from Oyo State. The Nigerian Constitution accords all citizens the fundamental rights to live in any parts of the country, but Sunday Igboho and others have been riding on the anger of Yoruba political leadership against rising herdsmen violence to issue confrontational directives of their own.

Sunday Igboho led an army of his followers to Oke-Ogun parts of Oyo State on Friday, leading to a bloodshed that involved the razing of the home and other assets of a famous Fulani chief.

“The president was briefed on the matter and he said Sunday’s action can disturb public peace and it should stop,” a police chief told the Gazette by telephone Saturday afternoon. “We were told from IG’s office that the president has asked for Sunday Igboho and his followers to be shot at sight if they continue pushing to drag Nigeria into a civil war.”

Another police source told the Gazette that police Inspector-General Mohammed Adamu was seeking an alternative approach.

“He does not want to flout presidential directive, but he has been talking to Yoruba leaders to find other means of preventing the matter from escalating,” the senior police officer said by telephone. “A possible trip to the South-west is also on the table.” Both senior officers sought anonymity to discuss internal police communication.

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina did not did not immediately return a request seeking comments about the president’s order, which could escalate brewing ethnic tensions if carried out by the police.

But earlier on Saturday morning, another presidential media aide Garba Shehu told the BBC that Mr. Adamu had sent out a signal for the arrest of Sunday Igboho and his supporters, leaving out the controversial shoot-on-sight directive of the president.

Mr. Buhari has a history of supporting bloodshed in Nigeria. As an opposition, he provoked his supporters to lynch hundreds of citizens after losing the 2011 presidential poll to Goodluck Jonathan. In December 2015 and October 2020, Mr. Buhari respectively supported the military massacres of over 1,000 Shi’a adherents in Zaria and dozens of anti-police brutality agitators in Lekki, Lagos.

IGP orders arrest of Sunday Igboho over eviction notice to herdsmen
Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), has ordered the arrest of Sunday Adeyemo, youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, over the quit notice he issued to herdsmen.

BBC Hausa quoted Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, as confirming the arrest order during its programme on Friday.

Shehu reportedly said the IGP informed him of his directive to Ngozi Onadeko, the Oyo commissioner of police, to arrest Igboho and transfer him to Abuja.

Frank Mba, police spokesman, did not immediately respond to TheCable’s inquiry on the order of the IGP.

Igboho had asked herdsmen in Igangan in Ibarapa north local government area of Oyo to leave within seven days following reports of the killing of some Oyo citizens.

He had blamed herders and Fulanis, including Saliu Kadri, the Seriki Fulani, of being behind the rising insecurity in the area.

The quit notice generated tension in parts of the state, prompting Seyi Makinde, the governor, to ask the IGP to arrest those fomenting trouble under the guise of protecting the interest of Yoruba people.

“For people stoking ethnic tension, they are criminals and once you get them, they should be arrested and treated like common criminals,” the governor had told the police commissioner.

Buhari’s nepotism and ethnic sentiments is unrivaled. Go to government offices in Abujaand see the northenisation of Nigeria. Everything is transmitted in Hausa.

Ironically, these offices are funded with oil from the south. The north contributes nothing to the Nation and yet the seat and lead every top position.

As if that is not enough, their military arm is scattered in the bushes of the south causing havoc and killings to poor indigent families.

Let it be known that northerner’s did not condemn Buhari’s nepotism.

Let it be known that Bakare,shehu sani, soyinka, governors, security agencies and other (so called) eminent personalities turned a blind eye to what is going on.

Do not forget.

of course it will be a northern Muslim. Buhari is a nepotistic leader.

GamalNasser:
You come to someones land and the first thing you give yourself is the title "Seriki Fulanis Oyo" meaning you are constituting yourselves into a distinct community inside another community ...All these useless serfy titles should be abolished , if you go into any man's land to live you become a subject of the traditional king there and if you don't want that then go back to your land

exactly.

the runaway Iganga Seriki man must be flush out in Ogun state. Governor dapo Abiodun must do the needful and flush the Seriki out from the forest in Ogun state.

Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has said he and his men are not behind the burning of the house and property of the Seriki Fulani, Salihu Abdukadir, in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State, saying the indigenes of the settlement were responsible.

Igboho, speaking through his Personal Assistant, Salami Oladapo, told SaharaReporters that the activist spent only about two hours in the town, on the instruction of the police and the soldiers, who were briefed on Igboho’s coming.

Violence had erupted in Igangan, Ibarapa, on Friday in the Fulani community, during which the houses and property of the Seriki Fulani, Alhaji Saliu Abdulkadir, were burnt.

Abdulkadir had told SaharaReporters that he, his wives and children were sent out of the settlement, adding that 11 vehicles and houses were burnt in the process.

The Seriki had fled the community with his family, as aggrieved youths put fire to the settlement.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, Igboho’s P.A, Oladapo, said his principal nor his supporters were responsible for the arson.

He said, “We were not the ones who did that. It was after we left; the boys know one another. They said they could not go with us, because the Fulani could attack them. So, they entered the settlement through a forest. They are not part of us. They are the indigenes. It was not Sunday Igboho’s men.

“They burnt the house after we left. Nobody can say they saw us at the scene of the event. The police Area Commander followed us when we had the town hall meeting in the area. The Fulani cannot just be raping and kidnapping our people.”

Earlier, the Arewa Consultative Forum had decried the violence on the Fulani community, saying “It is a dangerous trend.”

“If there are reprisal killings, and there are many Yoruba in the North, as you know, then this country will no longer exist as it happened in 1966 when a fake report went out that northerners were being killed in the East. That was why the reprisals killings of the Igbo in the North took the dimension it took.

“After some time, it was discovered that no single northerner was killed in the east. But then the damage had been done. We fought a civil war and over two million persons were killed. So this is a very dangerous dimension. I don’t know what could have caused it. I have not seen the report,” the forum’s National Publicity Secretary, Emmanuel Yawe, had said.

Yoruba people should never depend on Buhari soldiers, Buhari has destroyed the military. over 100 soldiers resigned this week alone. Yoruba people should defend themselves against Fulani bandits. enough is enough

Not a few residents of Ketu-speaking villages in
Yewa North Local Government Area, Ogun State
were brutalised by soldiers who escorted herdsmen
to graze in the communities, prompting residents
and monarchs to cry out to the military and state
government for help, KUNLE AKINRINADE reports.
Seye Mulero panted like a rat that had just escaped the
claws of a ravenous cat. He could hardly acknowledge the
sympathy offered by the kinsmen that surrounded him,
urging him to take heart and seek medical treatment in
hospital as he pulled up his shirt to show his badly hurt body
at Ubeku village in Yewa North Local Government Area,
Ogun State.
“Sorry,” said some of the women repeatedly in Yoruba as
Mulero pulled up his shirt to show the wounds from the
flogging on his muscular body, urging him to go to the
hospital for treatment.
Mulero, one of the young men in the rustic village, had
drawn the ire of some soldiers by speaking truth to them.
The soldiers, numbering 10, had escorted some herdsmen
on a mission to intimidate the villagers after they resisted an
attempt by the herders to graze their cattle in the
community after alleged repeated attacks and killing of
farmers who dared protest the destruction of their farms.
The herdsmen, who had departed the village after their
continued presence was rejected by the villagers, had
suddenly resurfaced at about 2 pm on December 19, 2020
with a handful of soldiers from the 35 Artillery Brigade,
Alamala, Abeokuta.
The soldiers headed straight to the palace of the traditional
ruler of the community, Chief Olaleye Adigun, calling out the
villagers and warning them against preventing the evicted
herdsmen from returning to the village. It was in the middle
of this strange encounter that Mulero told the soldiers that
the herders would not be allowed to remain in the
community because of their brutal killing of residents and
the destruction of their farmlands in recent times.
Mulero said: “Everyone was frightened by the action and
utterances of the soldiers but I summoned courage to tell
them how a Geography teacher Mr. Yomi Akinola and two
students of Community High School, Ibeku, among others,
were killed by the herdsmen while our women were raped
and killed on their ways to the farm.”
Mulero’s blunt comments enraged the herdsmen who
immediately asked the soldiers to deal with him. The
military men allegedly responded by promptly seizing,
kicking and flogging the young man mercilessly, leaving him
serious injuries.
Recalling the ugly experience, Mulero said: “Before I knew it,
the herdsmen had motioned to the soldiers who
immediately pulled me out of the audience and flogged me
mercilessly with a wire whip. It was as if I stole something
valuable.
“As I speak, my body still aches because of the wounds,
even after I had been treated in a hospital.
“Numerous other villagers were subjected to the brutal act
as the soldiers escorted the herdsmen from one village to
another all in a bid to intimidate us into allowing them to
graze on our farms.”
Like Ubeku, like Asa, others
But Mulero and Ubeku village were not the only person and
area that tasted the bile of the soldiers who escorted the
herdsmen in a military patrol van from one village to
another. Innocent indigenes of Iselu, Ibeku, Agbon-Ojodu,
Asa and other villages were also harassed and assaulted by
the soldiers at the instance of the herdsmen.
After leaving Ubeku, the herders and the complicit soldiers
moved to neighbouring Asa, where they reenacted the
Ubeku scenario, causing the hapless villagers to panic.
At Asa, the herders sighted Mulero’s brother, Gabriel Mulero,
accusing him of being among the crowd that jeered them
after his brother was beaten up. There and then, the soldiers
seized the young man, giving him some deafening slaps and
kicking him mercilessly before whisking him away to a
neighbouring village, Agbon-Ojodu, where they dropped him
off after elders of the community pleaded for his release.
At Agbon-Ojodu the hapless villagers would not utter a
word, having heard how the soldiers harassed and
assaulted the Muleros. But despite their foreboding silence,
some of the residents received severe beatings from the
soldiers for keeping mum.
Gabriel (Mulero) said: “I was returning from a party at Asa
with one of our friends named Mathew Adaramaja when my
elder brother told me on the phone that some soldiers had
led herdsmen to our village and brutalised him.
“To avoid trouble, we stayed away from the scene and sat
near some commercial motorcycle operators. Suddenly, one
of the herdsmen named Ali led the soldiers to the spot
where we were seated and accused us of being one of the
people that were opposed to them.
“The soldiers descended on us with fan belts and flogged us
severely. They tied our legs and pushed us into their patrol,
van threatening to shoot us if we tried to jump down and
run away. They said they were taking us to their barracks at
Alamala. They accused us of preventing the herdsmen from
grazing on our farms and vowed to teach us a lesson.
“However, when they got to Agbon-Ojodu village, elders of
the community pleaded with them to free us. We were badly
brutalised and we had to visit Ibeku Health Centre for
treatment.”

Sorrow, tears, blood from attacks
by soldiers
About 29 villages in the area had been attacked in recent
times by terror herdsmen who were said to have camped at
Eggua, a neighbouring town, from where they moved with
their hordes of cattle, ravaging farmlands within the Ketu-
Yewa communities, which share borders with the Republic
of Benin.
The villages include Ateru, Moro, Ologun, Agbon, Igbota,
Ogunba-Aiyetoro, Oke-Odo, Ibore, Gbokoto, Iselu, Ijale,
Ohunbe, Igbeme, Owode-Ketu, Igan-Alade, Lashilo, Oja
Odan, Ateru, Moro, Ologun, Iyana Meta, Igbooro, Egbeda
and Kuse.
The armed herdsmen, who usually lead their flock in search
of pasture because of the rich vegetation in the Ketu-
speaking villages, have also been fingered in the destruction
of cash crops belonging to natives, attacks, killing and
raping of women who are mostly natives of the
communities.
On January 10, 2020, herdsmen reportedly hacked 70-year-
old, Pa Sola Ilo to death, and chopped off his son,
Abidemi’s hand in broad daylight at Agbon village. Worried
by the incident, villagers from the 29 communities staged a
rally in protest and declared the herders persona non grata.
One person was reportedly killed on Tuesday May 5, 2020
when suspected herdsmen abducted a policewoman and
injured two others in separate attacks in Ayetoro area of
Yewa North Local Government.
The herdsmen who had laid siege to the road were said to
have shot dead the driver of a commercial bus commuting
from Abeokuta to Ayetoro, while the unidentified female
police officer attached to the Police Area Command in
Ayetoro was abducted and the car she drove was
abandoned at the roadside.
The herders also allegedly stabbed one Segun Ileyemi at
Olorunda village several times while trying to rob him of his
belongings, and he had to be rushed to Ayetoro General
Hospital for treatment.
The lawmaker representing Yewa North and Imeko-Afon
Federal Constituency, Hon. Olaifa Jimoh, had condemned
the spate of attacks, urging security agencies to save the
villagers’ lives.
Jimoh said: “It is no longer news that the dastardly act of
the Fulani herdsmen in my constituency is legendary as
records are available at various offices of security agencies.
But for how long will this continue?
“The herdsmen mostly lay siege to the roads as they wait
for my constituents, to either rob them of their belongings
or kidnap them outright.”
With the assistance of the local vigilance group and
operatives of the state police command, suspected
herdsmen involved in the killing of one Olabisi Afolabi and
attacks on some women at Moro and Eegelu villages in
December were apprehended.
One AK47 rifle, pieces of 0.8mm live ammunition, 26 live
catridges and two machetes were recovered from the
suspects-Mohammed Bello (40), Muhammed Momoh (30)
and Yisau Umoru (18).
Although, the suspects were paraded at the state police
command in Eleweran, Abeokuta by the then Commissioner
of Police, Ahmed Illyasu, their prosecution never saw the
light of day.
Residents, monarchs protest, write
military authorities
Palpable fear has since taken over the area with residents
deserting many of the communities for fear of falling victim
to the marauding herders, who are being backed by military
escorts.
Panicky villagers told The Nation of their plans to leave their
communities for fear of reprisals by herdsmen who have
been emboldened by the support from soldiers to forcibly
storm their villages and further destroy their crops and
attack them.
Oluwafemi Adeyemo, an indigene of Asa, said the incident
was an insult to the villagers who ordinarily deserve
adequate protection from the military.
Adeyemo said: The intention of the herdsmen is to
exterminate us and take over our villages, but we resisted
them because they have killed many people around here
and ravaged our farms for too long.
“It is thus an insult for soldiers to lead them to our villages
in an attempt to coerce us into allowing them to live in our
midst and further perpetrate their evil.”
Rafiu Alade, a native of Ibeku said the action of the soldiers
was a violation of the rights of the indigenes.
He urged the state government and military authorities to
call the soldiers to order to prevent the indigenes from
resorting to self-help in order to protect themselves from
herdsmen.
“How can soldiers back herdsmen to invade our
community? Yet, the soldiers flogged and beat up those
singled out by herdsmen as opposing their stay in the
communities. That amounts to a violation of people’s
fundamental human rights and a nod for perennial
lawlessness displayed by the herdsmen in our villages.
“It is high time the state government and military authorities
called these soldiers and herdsmen to order. Otherwise, the
villagers could resort to self-help to protect themselves
against the hoodlums.”
Worried by the development, monarchs of the affected
communities petitioned the Nigeria Army over alleged
connivance of its men with herdsmen to assault and harass
villagers.
The monarchs are the Oniggua of Iggualand, Oba Micheal
Adeleye Dosumu; the Eselu of Iseluland, Oba Akintunde
Ebenezer Akinyemi; and the Alademeso of Igan Alade, Oba
Gabriel Olukunle Olalowo.
The petition titled ‘matter of urgency’ dated January 7, 2021
signed by their lawyer, Mr. Olaoluwa Folalu, was addressed
to the Brigade Commander of 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala,
Abeokuta.
The petition reads in part: “Specifically around 2.00 p.m. of
the same day, the Fulani herders and suspected soldiers
entered Ibeku in a Nigerian Army pick-up vehicle and a
private car wherein they proceeded to the house of the
Baale (the traditional Head of the Ibeku community).
“The Baale was asked to gather his subjects and people
from nearby villages, which he did. The suspected soldiers
told the people that the purpose of their visit was to inform
them that the Fulani herders would be coming into their
communities to graze cows.
“Thus, the soldiers would ensure that there was no
breakdown of law and order. After their address, they asked
if anyone had question or comment to make in reaction to
the information.
“Expectedly, One Mr. Seye Mulero responded by calling the
attention of the soldiers to the inherent challenges of
allowing the herders in their communities based on the sad
previous experiences in the community.
“The said Seye Mulero further cited past killings, maiming
and destruction of farms to buttress his point. Sadly, at this
point, the soldiers seized him and mercilessly beat him up.
“In the same manner, the Fulani herders in company of the
suspected soldiers left Ibeku for Asa, the adjoining village to
address the Baale of Asa and his subjects as they had
earlier done at Ibeku. Shockingly to the soldiers, after their
address, the people refused to respond, having heard what
transpired at Ibeku. “However, one of the Fulani herders
sighted some people in the audience and picked on them as
those that purportedly shouted on them at Ibeku while
brutalising their victim (Seye Mulero). The herders asked the
soldiers to also deal with them.
“On hearing this, the people took to their heels. However,
one Gabriel Mulero, was not so lucky enough as the soldiers
grabbed him and ruthlessly assaulted him.
“He was whisked away in their pick-up vehicle to Agbon-
Ojodu, another adjoining village, where they compelled the
Baale to assemble his subjects for a forceful briefing. It was
at Agbon Ojodu that the said Gabriel Mulero was dropped
off from the Army pick-up following pleadings by some
community leaders.
“Kindly be informed sir that the alleged issue of procuring
soldiers by herders to escort them to forcefully graze on the
people’s farm, the attendant molestation of the innocent
people by the alleged soldiers and the destruction of farms
are known to the Police.
“On 3rd January 2021, the State Commissioner of Police
(CP), Ogun Command brokered a meeting over the matter at
the Police Divisional Headquarters, Eggua.
ADVERTISEMENT
“During the meeting, some of the herders confirmed that
they brought the soldiers that escorted them while grazing
their herds on the people’s lands; a development that the CP
himself strongly condemned.”
It will be recalled that the immediate past administration of
Governor Ibikunle Amosun had initiated a committee in a
bid to resolve incessant herders-farmers clashes.
“The committee had comprised community and traditional
leaders as well as the leadership of herdsmen in the state,
but the modalities recommended by the committee, which
included the registration and monitoring of herdsmen by
community and traditional authorities, were never
implemented throughout the tenure of Governor Amosun.
When The Nation contacted the Public Relations Officer of
35 Artillery Brigade, Major Osoba, he said that he would
contact his ‘boss’ to revert to our correspondent on the
matter.
“I will tell my boss about your enquiry and he would contact
you and give you explanation,” he said.
He, however, had not done so at press time.
Also, the spokesman of Ogun State Police Command, Mr.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, said he was in a meeting when our
correspondent called him on his mobile phone. He too had
not reverted as promised at press time.
Speaking with our correspondent Oba Akinyemi urged the
state government to intervene and resolve the matter once
and for all.
He said the soldiers had usurped the role of the police in
the matter.
“Soldiers have no business escorting herders to graze on our
farms; what they did is tantamount to usurping the police,
who are statutorily mandated to maintain law and order.
“The state government should wade into this matter and
ensure that justice is served as indigenes will not give up
their farms and cash crops to be destroyed by herders.”
Oba Akinyemi noted that the herders were trying use the
confrontation they had in Benin Republic to launch mindless
attacks on his people, using soldiers.
He said: “The armed herdsmen were recently repelled in
Oguba-Ayetoro, a Yoruba-speaking community in Benin
Republic which shares boundary with my kingdom. They
went into the village to graze, not knowing they were already
in another country and the gendarmes (police) repelled
them.
“Grazing is outlawed in the francophone country and
authorities of Benin Republic had communicated this policy
to their Nigerian counterparts, hence, the police there
confronted the herders.
“Now, they are passing off the village for a Nigerian territory
and using it to foment trouble everywhere.
“The state government should also empower and involve
the local council areas in initiatives aimed at bringing peace
and maintaining law and order in our communities to avoid
clashes, as indigenes are tired of being terrorised by
herders.”
