The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has firmly defended Yoruba self-determination advocate, Mr Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, over his recent actions against kidnappers and criminal elements operating in parts of Yorubaland, insisting that the overriding priority must be the safety and security of citizens.

The organisation also used the opportunity to commend President Bola Tinubu for transmitting the executive bill on the establishment of state police to the National Assembly, while urging federal and state lawmakers, as well as governors, to expedite action on the legislation in the national interest.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Jare Ajayi, Afenifere cautioned individuals and groups threatening Igboho over his campaign against kidnapping, banditry and terrorism in the South-West, stressing that his actions were directed at criminals and not at any ethnic group.

According to the organisation, Igboho “is not threatening any particular ethnic group but individuals and groups who are engaged in terror acts in Yorubaland.“

The statement followed recent incidents of abduction along the Igboho-Igbeti-Kisi axis of Oke-Ogun in Oyo State. In response to the worsening security situation, Sunday Igboho travelled to his hometown of Igboho last weekend, where he issued a two-hour ultimatum demanding the release of a pregnant woman and two other kidnap victims, warning that kidnappers would face serious consequences should they fail to comply.

Igboho also warned Fulani individuals involved in criminal activities such as kidnapping to desist immediately.

At the same time, he cautioned any indigenous resident of Igboho or Yorubaland found aiding or collaborating with kidnappers and criminal gangs. He reassured law-abiding non-indigenes residing peacefully within the area that they had nothing to fear.

Na now day don break for una?.....it's as good as too late sha....it has long been politicized with people like you playing your own part and the fruits of that evil is already being harvested.....only divine help can save this country.

Misterone:
Afenifere should stop this nonsense! Security of a state or region needs to be on a tight leach because it can be easily abused. If igboho wants to secure his State or region, he should join Amotekun or the state police that would be created soon.

Great decision,I don't see any northern group that condemn their fellow northerners that are committing heinous crimes ,some are even openly supporting them like Gumi and co but they're quick to react to Igboho .

Which only mean one thing ,they support these crimes and they're weaponising it .

Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.

The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.

He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.

He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.

He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.
