Herdsmen under their umbrella body, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has pushed back claims that they are responsible for the dead of Funke Olakunrin.

Mrs Olakunrin who died on Friday was said to have been killed by herdsmen in Ondo State. She is the daughter of Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, a socio-cultural group in the South-West region.

In a statement by its National Secretary, Baba Uthman Ngelzarma, the pastoralist expressed sadness over the incident and called on “security agencies to swing into action, and unravel the perpetrators to bring them to justice in the shortest time possible.”



The group also blasted the media which reported that the perpetrators of the act were herdsmen from Fulani extraction.

Herders are accused as arrowheads of insecurity in the country which has recently witnessed a spike in criminal activities.

“As we express sincere heartfelt condolence to the family of the deceased, we are left in a deep shock on how a section of the media in collaboration with elements in the country that are held bane (sic) on using every opportunity available to them to fuel crisis as they continue the negative profiling of Fulanis for their total annihilation by jumping into a mischievous conclusion that she was killed by herdsmen,” the statement read.


“We strongly condemn this very unprofessional, unpatriotic and callous news reportage patterns that have been conscripted against our people by the section of the media,” the group added.

The State Police Command in the state said armed robbers were the ones who killed the lady.

Meanwhile, the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) has vowed to retaliate the dead of the deceased.

Even when some fail to impregnate their wives, it's herdsmen responsible for it. Wailing hypocrites

When husband and wife quarrel, outsiders are best informed to stay off. This is a family issue between the sophisticated people and the nomads.

Las las they are accomodating

Hmm, do they know the atrocity done by these pple? If only they know, they wont be vouching for the heardsmen . There Muslim brothers and sis are not spared so i dont think its about religion pa say but ethnicity. Where are all these groups coming from sef. Shittes, muri, bokoharam,etc and they are all from north. Why na. Those people Re already behaving like cows cos they dont have a brain of their own. May God save us

Yoruba and igbo should listen and listen very well...the north has one agenda moving forward nw....to take over the south.

U may think this doesnt make sense but it does if u understand why.

1. Climate change is turning Niger republic into a desert and more of them are moving into nigeria and they are 60% hausa/fula and 100% muslims

2. The population explosion in the north means more competition and less resources for everyone of them, and the need to secure new territories

3. The ever present ambition of muslims to spread islam all over the world means they would always want to bring islam into south

We can keep insulting ourselves or come together and take a battle stance along with like-minded middle beltans. Remember that america was once a continent filled with red indians...today they are filled with white europeans. Dont be stupid

Well know marauders and killers as usual playing the victim card.Spits!

Any Yoruba excusing Fulani herdsmen at this time is a bastard!
Beware of impostors!

Yoruba no get action

Ravenna:
Igbos won't like this news.

All they want is fight between Yoruba and Fulani.

I can see you lack sense, so because miyetti Allah has already said it's not them and you just take them at their word, is that not stupid myopic vision . Do you expect them to say they were the ones that killed her

Haa. Herdsmen
