This is tragic. I think we need to activate our internal security without waiting for the government and confront these Fulanis who are collaborating with the indigenes to wreck havoc.

The Yoruba’s have been conquered for the second time in their history.
First by Islam and now by the Islamic jihadist who want sharia law in Yoruba land.
