Herdsmen: Afenifere Orders Herdsmen Out Of Yorubaland

The pan-Yoruba socio-political body Afenifere has ordered killer Fulani herdsmen to leave Southwest now or face serious battle.

Naijaparry understands that one of the leaders of the Afenifere Ayo Adebanjo said this on Wednesday in Lagos during a news conference.

According to him, the National Assembly should not “amend the Land Use Act with the intent to change the predominance of land allocation in states to the federal government to allow RUGA’s implementation. We demand their immediate exit from Yoruba land.

“If they refused to leave in reasonable time, we will not stop our people from confronting them.

“Yoruba land has now become the epicenter of the terror of these Fulani marauders and our people are fed up with the shedding of innocent blood that is quite anathema to our respect for human life which would see us remembering those who died peacefully 50 years down the line.”

He added that “We are miffed that those who will not allow our elected governors have police are now setting up Fulani bandit -vigilantes on our soil in addition to the Fulani militias terrorizing our land.”

In addition, he revealed that 30,000 people “have been killed by the Fulani herdsmen/militia across the country between 2015 and 2019.

“Apart from not bringing them to book, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has taken so many steps which betray the encouragement being given to these troublers of Nigeria.”

“We cannot continue to live under these conditions. The blood of our people will no longer be used to water the tree of a dysfunctional unitary order.”
