Alarm: Yoruba forests host 1,123 cells of armed Fulani herdsmen--Oodua group

…….says Yoruba rich are being secretly kidnapped, huge ransom paid

Ibadan May 14, 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLIC RELEASE..

There are exactly 1,123 cells belonging to armed Fulani herdsmen mainly in forests and highlands located across Yoruba territories.
The cells are well organized and they appear to network with each other.
The mission of the cells are unknown except that there have been increase in the preponderance of their organization skill.
They appear to have lately adopted martial training in these cells. Some of the Fulani armed herdsmen speak French suggesting the Franco-African origin of some of them.

In a media release on Tuesday, Apapo Oodua Koya, (AOKOYA) said the cells are manned by between 30 to 50 young armed Fulani herdsmen whose focus is kidnapping and rape and the imposition of siege, a state of fear and anomie across Yorubaland.
AOKOYA, a coalition of several Pan Yoruba self-determination groups including Yoruba Nationalist League, (YONL) Association of Yoruba Retired Officers, (AYORO), Federation of Ilaje Peoples, (FEIP), Itsekiri Peoples Alliance, (IPA), Oodua Peoples Congress, (OPC), Oodua Revolutionary Coalition, (OREC), Agbekoya, Oodua Students Alliance, (OSA) and many others said the study was conducted over a period of six months using some of the best intelligence gathering equipment.
It further said that satellite images have been personally submitted to State Governors in the South West and some traditional rulers.
The group said “We have taken our time to do an intelligence survey using modern equipment and google mapping with elementary satellite imaging to know the number of armed cells established and controlled by the Fulani herdsmen spread across Yoruba territories of Kwara, Kogi, Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti and Itsekiri part of Delta State. Our findings are shocking. There are 1, 123 cells run by armed Fulani militia. The cells are populated with Fulani armed men. Some of them are in military uniforms and in some instances we find young girls cooking for the men”, the release signed by the Secretary for Strategy of the group, United States-based Col Abimbola Sowunmi and Deputy Secretary for Publicity, Mr Ismail Abiodun said.
AOKOYA also said that its intelligence report indicate that many Yoruba rich are being kidnapped in silence.
“We discovered that many Yoruba rich men and women are being kidnapped and they are compelled to pay ransom. It is traditional that many of them fear to speak out and in cases where rape of women are involved, the victims are too traumatised to speak out.

"The Yoruba rich suffer in silence. They are raped. They are so traumatized to speak out. We reveal with pain in our hearts that the proprietor of a very big Petrol Filling station in Yoruband one of the finest Yoruba business woman was kidnapped. She paid a lot of money.
Another woman, Mrs who runs an Industry with speciality in ethanol was kidnapped near Ayede in Ekiti state..She has since relocated to London. AOKOYA representatives have met some of these victims who have given confidential information.

Another very rich woman in Abeokuta was kidnapped late last year on her way to Lagos. She was kept for two weeks. She paid a huge sum as ransom. The wife of a prominent Pastor in Lagos was seized in February this year on her way to Akure in Ondo State. She infact paid 25 million to be free. Students of many of the highbrow private Universities are victims. They know their parents and the students.

The Fulani herdmen threaten them that their children would be killed if they report to the police.
AOKOYA said students of Afe Babalola University, Babcock and Covenant Universities are prime targets.
"It added that wives of traditional rulers are also targets. They are so scared to report to the authorities.”
In one instance, Yoruba billionaire, Bode Akindele was accosted on Ibadan-Lagos Highway. He managed to escape.
We observe that they operate with intelligence networking with some contacts within the state security services that provide information for them and through an extensive network involving Maiguards.
They go out to mosques on Fridays and churches in Sundays where they target and trail owners of exotic cars to their private homes from where they station agents who act as Okada riders but who in actual fact monitor the movement of these people.
" Its a sophisticated network that has recently succeded in breaking into network of some banks in order to know the rich and trace the addresses provided in those bank details.

There are infact too many instances to be mentioned.
AOKOYA said Denying these facts will not help Yorubaland, the issue is to rise up to the challenge and confront headlong.
AOKOYA said it does not expect the authorities in Yorubaland to accept these reports but that events in the few months ahead will confirm the veracity as the Fulani herdsmen are poised to be on greater rampage.
“They have four strategies that have helped them. The first is that they maintain the purity of the Fulani control of the kidnap ring.

This has its own strength and weakness. It makes it difficult for penetration by the state or the host communities so as not to discover their modus.
On the other hand of its advantage, it nullifies the potential of locals getting involved in kidnapping.
Given the degree of poverty in the land, this is an advantage because the Yoruba youths adopting kidnapping as a means of survival will lead to greater social uprising.

The intelligence survey was carried out by a Yoruba group, in Yoruba land. I'm sure the same findings will be made if same is done on Igbo soil. The important thing here is; we are in deep shit if this is true.

Not just in the west; though they have greater population of fulanis residing there than any other southern state. However, these terrorist are in actuality, strategizing themselves for any attack that will be meted upon the south, so they will be ready with their guns and matchets. While the south keeps cussing and abusing themselves.
Why Yorubas voted, supported and keep supporting this terrorist government and blood sucking government remains a mystery to me.

The Yoruba elites could be likened to Ostriches who bury their heads in the sand thinking that it is safe and no one sees it.

This issue of herdsmen taking over forests in the Yoruba nation has been trending for a while but they chose to ignore it. I have listened to the unending complaint about this on radio from a retired military officer.

The herdsmen have been reported to have attacked and ransacked villages in the Yoruba land but all the elders and leaders could do is to bicker on who to lick the balls of their masters better.

The South West could be easily overran by the herdsmen should they decide to strike.
